The Battle of Turak IV was the site of the worst defeat that the 112th Repulsorlift Armor Regiment (Hell's Hammers) ever suffered at the hands of the Rebel Alliance during the Galactic Civil War.

During a siege on Turak IV, the 112th was cut off from their supply lines by a Rebel ambush team known as the Hitak Harriers. The Harriers were able to eliminate almost all of the Hammers' repulsortanks, but in the process lost a large amount of troops and equipment themselves.

Most Imperial supporters would come to consider the campaign on Turak IV a success, due to the large amount of damage done to the Alliance.

Despite being decimated by Alliance forces, the 112th would be reassessed by the Empire and given new funding and material, including the new Imperial-class Repulsortanks.
