Siege of the Creekpath Mining and Refining complex

The siege of the Creekpath Mining and Refining complex was the second battle of the Batonn insurgency, a campaign of the Batonn sector insurgency. Following the Battle of Scrim Island, the Batonn insurgents led by Nevil Cygni (or "Nightswan") relocated to the Creekpath Mining and Refining complex near Paeragosto City. Admiral Thrawn's attempts to end the siege peacefully were rebuffed by Nightswan, who distrusted the local Governor Restos and wanted to overthrow the Empire. Thrawn's management of the siege was also complicated by an Imperial Security Bureau operation by Agent Gudry to plant explosives inside the mine. The siege came to an end when the Lothalian Governor Arihnda Pryce remotely blew up the mine's explosives and deflector shield generator to conceal Gudry's murder. The explosion destroyed the complex and ended the Batonn sector insurgency but killed many civilians.
