The Battle of Korriban was fought during the Old Sith Wars. Sometime after being redeemed, Revan led the Jedi in an invasion of Korriban. The Sith defenders were defeated and driven offworld. After the battle, the Jedi forces looted the Valley of the Dark Lords.

[edit] Behind the scenes

Darth Bane: Path of Destruction is the only source for the battle, but it describes the event in very little detail. The novel states that "nearly three thousand years had passed between the time the Sith had been driven from Korriban by Revan, and the day Kaan's Brotherhood of Darkness officially reclaimed [Korriban] for the order." It also says that "the Jedi pillaged the tombs [in the Valley of the Sith Lords] when Korriban fell to them three thousand years ago."

From the description, presumably the author intended the battle to be the end of the Jedi Civil War.
