Battle of Yuuzhan'tar

The Battle of Yuuzhan'tar, also known as the Recapture of Coruscant or the Second Battle of Coruscant, was the final battle of the Yuuzhan Vong War, fought between the combined forces of the Galactic Alliance, New Jedi Order and Chiss Ascendancy against the Yuuzhan Vong and their empire. After the arrival of the living planet Zonama Sekot to the Coruscant system, and the retreat of the fleet under Warmaster Nas Choka from the battle at Mon Calamari, the Galactic Alliance set route to Coruscant, or Yuuzhan'tar as the invaders had renamed it, to take it back and end the war.

The battle was long, with the biggest fleets both combatants could gather. The fighting had several fronts in space and on the surface of terraformed Yuuzhan'tar, and at the end, the Galactic Alliance was victorious, helped by Yuuzhan Vong followers of the Jeedai heresy, the Shamed Ones and Workers. It ended with the death of Supreme Overlord Shimrra and his secret puppeteer Onimi, and afterwards, the Yuuzhan Vong went to exile on Zonama Sekot so they could redefine their culture in peace.
