Battle of Csilla

This page was created by The Warrior Brothers.

The Battle of Csilla was a battle between the Red Sith Empire and the Chiss Ascendancy that occurred when the Red Sith realized that the Chiss would know the location of the Sith Empire's capital.

Prelude
After the Great Pureblood Hideout, the Red Sith were anxious to do something to support their beliefs. They had prepared their star destroyers and starfighters for a full-scale assault. The Sith wanted to discover the location of Vitiate's Sith Empire's capital, and they knew that the best way to do that was attack a close ally of Vitiate's. That ally happened to be the Chiss Ascendancy.

Red Sith Blockade
The Red Sith Empire moved their Indomitable-class star destroyers into position in a semi-circle around the side of Csilla that the Ascendancy launched ships from. The Chiss, realizing that their homeworld was being blockaded, launched their heavy cruisers and starfighters.

Space Battle
The Red Sith shot down one of the eight Chiss cruisers as another Chiss heavy cruiser fired breacher missiles into the hull of a Red Sith destroyer. Both ships went down, and the battle continued.

The Red Sith "slashed the deck" of multiple Chiss cruisers, then deployed starfighters that rendered Chiss shields useless.

The Ascendancy, though clearly outmatched, returned fire in a valiant but futile attack that disabled the shields of a Red Sith cruiser using plasma balls.

The Empire moved in and destroyed all of the remaining cruisers, then proceeded to shoot down all the starfighters that launched from the planet. The battle was won and the Chiss aircraft were destroyed.

Securing Csaplar
The Red Sith moved down to the surface of Csilla and released their foot soldiers (of the Ikaz and Lash families, most notably) alongside starfighters that secured the capital.

Aftermath
The Empire tortured the location of the Sith Empire's capital -- Dromund Kaas -- out of the Chiss leaders, then executed them at the order of Bakrom Lash, a Red Sith aristocrat who had personally overseen the battle.
