"Troubled is the planet Mon Calamari. Its races have divided. The droid army of the Quarren Isolation League moves against the Calamari Council. Alone, the Calamari are no match. Intervene we must!"

―Master Yoda^[src]

PreludeEdit

The anger and mistrust against the Mon Calamari people had grown within the ranks of their neighbors, the Quarren, and the collective intelligence of the Moappa. The Quarren Isolation League was established to counter the relations with the outside galaxy that the Mon Calamari dominated.

When the Confederacy of Independent Systems intervened in local politics, Grand Master Yoda sent a task force to Dac led by Jedi Master Kit Fisto to assist the Mon Calamari.

Fisto was determined to defeat the rebel Quarrens, and restore peace to Mon Calamari, a somewhat important planet in galactic affairs.

The battleEdit

"Master Fisto, trust your insight in these matters we do. May the Force be with you."

―Yoda^[src]

At the beginning of hostilities, the Quarren Isolation League attacked Calamari cities with the help of CIS battle droids.

Upon arrival, Fisto's fleet of Acclamator-class assault ships landed in the broad oceans of Dac. From his command ship, the Jedi Master leaped into battle with an army of Clone SCUBA troopers, engaging the Quarren army in its own element.

The battle eventually settled around a large self-propelled artillery cannon. It managed to fire two shots, destroying one Acclamator-class assault ship before Kit Fisto was able to destroy the cannon's legs with massive force bubbles. With the aid of the native Mon Calamari Knights, the gun was pushed over the edge of a chasm and destroyed.

The fighting continued for several more days as the elusive Moappa telepathic swarm consciousness continued its command of the Quarren, angered by the Mon Calamari's arrogance in claiming their planet for themselves.

Fisto destroyed several Quarren outposts, and interrogated survivors as to the whereabouts of their commander. Having found that all the Quarren soldiers received their commands telepathically, he managed to locate the Moappa, engage them in combat, and learn of their intentions. Dispersing the Moappa to such a degree as to deny them their collective intelligence, Fisto returned to the Mon Calamari victorious.
