Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

A battle occurred in the Taspan system during the Cold War between the reconstituted Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic when Major Boro Fareed, a key military officer of the Republic, intended to defect to the Empire. His betrayal was discovered only minutes before he could meet up with his Imperial contacts. Scrambling their forces, the Republic fleet attempted to intercept Fareed before he could escape with his knowledge of the inner workings of the Republic military.
