The Andoan Wars was a conflict between the despotic rulers of the Andoan worlds, known as the Spiverelda, and the Andoan Free Colonies. The war ended at the Battle of Raquish in 39 BBY, a decisive victory for the Spiverelda. However, it turned into a debacle with the intervention of a sizable fleet of the Republic Judicial Forces which ordered the demilitarization of the sector.
