From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
The Battle of Ithor occurred during the Mandalorian Wars in the year 3,963 BBY. Little is known about the battle other than that it was an important victory for the Galactic Republic in its war with the invading Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders.
Ithor was a great asset for the Republic as it was a key exporter of agricultural and medical supplies during the Old Sith Wars. During the period, Ithorian scientist aided Selkath marine biologists from Manaan in refining Kolto into a host of potent healing products. During the Great Sith War, the Republic Military stationed a massive planetary defense fleet around Ithor and that fleet was further enlarged during the Mandalorian Wars.
The Battle of Ithor was one of the few victories for the Republic in the days before the Revanchists joined the war effort. As such, it helped to bolster the Republic's supply lines and it greatly improved troop morale during the early days of the war.
