Battle of Sullust (Delvardus campaign)
The battle of Sullust is an existing battle from Legends.[1]
Background
In 5 ABY, when the false Prophet of the Dark Side Kadann announced his intention to attack Coruscant, Superior General Sander Delvardus planned to join him in the assault. Delvardus was hoping to find a cure for his mistress, whom he had inadvertently put into a coma, in the Emperor's storehouses on Coruscant. In response to the threat, Ysanne Isard sent Delvardus' old friend Sarcev Quest to convince him otherwise. Quest used the opportunity to further his own plan to kill the reborn Emperor: he revealed to Delvardus that Palpatine was alive on Byss, and suggested Palpatine might help cure Delvardus' mistress if he took his fleet to join him there. In order to provide an excuse for retreating into the Deep Core, Quest suggested Delvardus attack the New Republic forces at Sullust and allow himself to lose a series of battles before heading Coreward.[2]
The battle
Delvardus staged his attack from behind the sensor shadow of the gas giant Lununmo, bringing his forces around the planet from two sides in a gravity-assisted high-speed maneuver.
While Delvardus engaged the New Republic forces, Sarcev Quest landed an armored transport shuttle on Lununmo's nineteenth moon in order to retrieve the gravitational field disruptors stored there.[2]
