"Nothing new to be angry for?" - ―Dev Sibwarra and Bluescale[src]
The Battle of G'rho was the invasion of the remote colony world of G'rho on the edge of Wild Space by the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium in 1 BBY; marking one of its first incursions of the known galaxy.
The System Patrol Craft that defended the planet had been lured away by a distress call before the invasion. All that was left were three squadrons of atmospheric Conjo-fighters. The small defense force was quickly overrun and planet occupied by Ssi-ruuvi and P'w'eck troops. Since their technology depended on extracting the life energies of other beings via an agonizing process known as Entechment, most of the surviving Colonists were enteched. Emperor Palpatine, who had made a secret agreement with the Ssi-ruuk, covered up the incident and blamed the attack on Rebels.
Among their captives was a Human boy named Dev Sibwarra, whom the Elder Bluescale brainwashed through mind manipulation techniques. However, what astounded them was the boy possessed strange powers to sense others. It was from this boy that the Admiral Ivpikkis discovered that Humans were the galaxy's dominant species. He also discovered that humanoids had longer containment time when enteched and could last longer than most other species. Due to Sibwarra's Force abilities and his ability to communicate with his fellow Humans, the Ssi-ruuk used Dev Sibwarra to calm the subjects being enteched.
A few colonists could escape the battle and continued to fight the Ssi-ruuk. But four months after the battle the last resistance was finally wiped out.
