Battle of Peridea

The battle of Peridea was an event during the New Republic Era when Grand Admiral Thrawn launched an escape from the planet Peridea. The former Jedi Ahsoka Tano, the Bokken Jedi Ezra Bridger and the Mandalorian Jedi Padawan Sabine Wren entered the Great Mothers' Fortress in an attempt to stop Thrawn from escaping the planet but they were met with a legion of Night Troopers that were later reanimated via Nightsister Magick.

The trio eventually encountered the Nightsister Morgan Elsbeth, who had been given the Blade of Talzin, and used it against Tano while Bridger and Wren continued on their mission to stop Thrawn. As the battle raged on and two death troopers prevented Bridger and Wren from reaching the Chimaera in time as it began to take off, Bridger was able to get in with the help of Wren, but she chose to stay behind to help Tano on her fight with Elsbeth and the army of reanimated Night Troopers that were closing in on her.

Despite managing to kill Elsbeth and escape the fortress before Thrawn destroyed it from orbit, the Grand Admiral managed to escape into the main galaxy with his forces, leaving Tano and Wren stuck on Peridea but unknowingly also bringing Bridger with him, as he disguised himself as a Night Trooper and ultimately managed to escape the Chimaera, traveling to the New Republic to reunite with his old friends.
