A battle was fought over Korriban during the Great Hyperspace War between the battered and diminished forces of Dark Lord of the Sith Naga Sadow and the forces of Koros system leader Empress Teta, who had followed her adversaries to the worlds of the Sith Empire. Fought immediately after Sadow's defeat of his old rival, Ludo Kressh, in a previous clash at Korriban, the battle was the final engagement in the war. The forces of Empress Teta, motivated by revenge for the harm done to their worlds in the Great Hyperspace War, overpowered the Sith. Eventually, Sadow found himself without any defenses aboard his flagship, the Corsair, and was forced to fake his death and flee to the faraway moon of Yavin 4 by way of the Denarii Nova, where he used the dark side of the Force to both destroy his pursuers and cover up his tracks. Sith Lord Shar Dakhan then took over command of the Sith force, ordering suicide attacks by the remaining ships as a last resort. However, the Koros forces prevailed, and the Great Hyperspace War was ended.
