The Fourth Battle of Suurja was the final battle between the forces of the Galactic Republic and the Mandalorians over a six-week period in 3,964 BBY. During the course of this battle, the near-space naval defense cordon erected by Captain Saul Karath proved to be effectively designed and maintained, although the final result ended up being a declared stalemate between the Republic and Mandalorian forces, with the former falling back to the adjacent Tarnith Station.
Despite the Republic withdrawal, optimism that a victory could be achieved was still palpable, and afterward, government defense official Catronus Steffans issued a statement proclaiming, "[It's] only a matter of time before we begin pushing in the other direction."
It was during this battle that one of the first few groups of Jedi volunteers in the war, including Alek Squinquargesimus and Cale Berkona, were captured and taken to Flashpoint Station.
