Third Battle of Yavin

The Third Battle of Yavin occurred in 23 ABY when the Dark Jedi Master Brakiss led the Shadow Academy and the Second Imperium on an assault against Jedi Master Luke Skywalker's Jedi Praxeum on the jungle moon of Yavin 4 in the Outer Rim. Despite superior numbers, the Imperium forces were outwitted by the superior Jedi tactics and the arrival of naval reinforcements from the New Republic. Following severe setbacks, Brakiss discovered that his master Emperor Palpatine had never returned and that his presence was just a holographic illusion. With the death of Brakiss and the destruction of the Shadow Academy, the Imperium forces were routed and defeated. The Dark Jedi Zekk also overcame his Imperial indoctrination and saved his former Jedi friends from an explosion at the Great Temple.
