The Battle of Tralus was a battle during the Galactic Civil War.

[edit] The battle

Grand Admiral Danetta Pitta had been accepted by the Diktat as the "protector" of the Corellian Sector, leaving him in command of important strategic assets. Rival warlord Josef Grunger attacked his former comrade's holdings under the command of the false Trioculus.

The remnants of the Galactic Empire fought each other; Grunger's forces were overwhelmed by Pitta's torpedo sphere but the battle was decided when Grunger's flagship, Aggressor, rammed the sphere, killing both officers.

[edit] Behind the scenes

Pitta's fleet may have included the Apocahk, Angrix, and Impenetrable.
