Battle of Uquine

In 10,966 BBY, a battle took place at the celestial body Uquine at the conclusion of the conflict known as the Pius Dea Civil War. After the Galactic Republic had been under the control of the Humanocentric Pius Dea cult for a millennium, an alliance between the Caamasi species; the Jedi Order; the independent world Alsakan and its allies; and the former Pius Dea members known as the Renunciates, who had converted to a secret anti-Pius Dea faith, plotted to overthrow the Republic regime.

The Bureau of Ships and Services, persuaded into joining the resistance, seeded Pius Dea cathedral ships with rogue navigation computer code, which it activated a year after the Renunciates had revealed themselves and opened a civil war against the Pius Dea Faithful. The Pius Dea warships were launched into hyperspace, with ships including the Republic Supreme Chancellor Contispex XIX's vessel being deposited at Uquine, where a fleet of waiting Renunciate battleships annihilated them. Meanwhile, the Jedi captured Contispex XIX, allowing for the subsequent end to the Pius Dea rule over the Republic.
