The final battle of the Imperial Civil War. The forces of Palpatine had been driven across the galaxy to their last stronghold on Novar III. The Empire had split its forces up in the wake of the Third Battle of Athaniss, with portions of the fleet moving on to continue the war against the Griffons Alliance, while the rest mopped up the remnants of Palpatine's rebellion. The rebellion was crushed, and the Imperial Civil War was over.
