Tionese War

The Tionese War, also known as the Tionese Wars or the Republic-Tionese wars, was a galactic war between both the Galactic Republic and Hutt Empire against the Honorable Union of Desevro and Tion from 24,000 until around 23,900 BBY. The Tion Cluster had become a largely disunited backwater in the thousand years that had followed the defeat of Xim's empire, and the Cluster's leaders saw a rapid conquest of the Republic and the acquisition of its technology as their salvation. The Union attacked the Republic without warning, and the Republic was unprepared for the Tionese invasion and suffered multiple defeats. However, its superior industrial might and the aid of the Jedi Order allowed it to eventually subjugate Tionese space after a century-long conflict.
