Legend

this was the true mission behind the New Republic's retaking of the planet Borleias, in the wake of the Battle of Coruscant. Using a series of false leads and tantalizing information, the Inner Circle led the Yuuzhan Vong to believe that lambent crystals were being grown on Borleias for use as focusing crystals in the pipefighters of the so-called Operation Starlancer. This forced the Yuuzhan Vong to commit to a full-scale invasion of Borleias, in an effort destroy the facility. However, there was no such facility. It was all a ruse. When the Yuuzhan Vong forces descended on Borleias, they were allowed to reach the planet's surface. Once the aliens were on the ground, Eldo Davip and the Lusankya bombarded them from orbit, utterly destroying the alien forces with a four-minute aerial bombardment. In this way, the Inner Circle used Imperial bombardment tactics to eliminate a sizable portion of the Yuuzhan Vong military.
