Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.
This battle was one of the final battles of the New Sith Wars.
A great victory of the Army of Light, the day before the battle, Kiel Charny and his men destroyed the gun turrets guarding the Sith encampment and charged the next morning.
The ranks of Kaan's army were broken, and the vassals of the Sith died by the thousands. Darth Bane, poisoned by his rival Skere Kaan, did not participate, but came across the dead and a Sith Lord, and mocked them for their failure.
