Legend

this was the name given to the New Republic's stand at Borleias, in the wake of the loss of Coruscant to the Yuuzhan Vong. After Senator Pwoe appointed himself Chief of State, he ordered Wedge Antilles to hold Borleias temporarily, using it as a base to strike at the Yuuzhan Vong while the Advisory Council fled to safety. Wedge followed only the outline of this order, instead planning to use Borleias as a place to strike hard at the Yuuzhan Vong. A series of subterfuges - the development of the pipefighter and Operation Starlancer, the development of Jaina Solo as Yun-Harla incarnate - all served to focus a large portion of the Yuuzhan Vong fleet on Borleias. When the Republic felt that it was ready, and enough of the Yuuzhan Vong fleet was array in the Pyria System, Wedge launched his assault. The Yuuzhan Vong forced, led by Czulkang Lah, were unprepared for the Republic's assault, the their fleet was decimated. Although Borleias was eventually lost again to the alien invaders, the Republic was successful in taking out a large portion of the Yuuzhan Vong navy.
