The Battle for Marcova was a conspiracy that included the New Republic and Maracovans which began in 20 ABY. They were going to prepare a massive invasion against Ticova. Ticova made an alliance with the Mandalorians to defeat the conspiracy. The New Republic sent troops to Maracova for defensive purposes. The alliance with the New Republic was called off by Maracova. Darth Behemoth fired the first shot. Soon Ticova defeated both enemies in the battle and regained the planet Maracova.
