[edit] The battle

On the world of Basilisk, the Mandalorians began their holy crusade against the Basiliskans. Even with Republic reinforcements, the Basiliskans were outmatched and poisoned their own planet in a last ditch effort to drive away the invaders.

[edit] Aftermath

The Mandalorians abandoned the planet, but succeeded in capturing a large group of Basiliskans. These creatures would later become the Lagartoz War Dragons. The battle claimed the life of Jedi Master Sidrona Diath, Supreme Chancellor of the Republic.

[edit] Behind the scenes

The in-game encyclopedia entry for Basilisk in the PC game Star Wars: Rebellion mistakenly states that Sidrona Diath was killed by the Sith.
