Legend

this was the name given to one of the two short battles between the New Republic and the Yuuzhan Vong, which took place just prior to the Battle of Coruscant. While the New Republic's military thought that the Yuuzhan Vong would attack Coruscant from Bilbringi, they had actually been massing a force in the nebual surrounding the Black Bantha. When they discovered that only a token defense force was staged at Reecee, the Yuuzhan Vong moved in to subjugate the planet for their own use as a staging location. The battle would have ended with the Yuuzhan Vong in control of Reecee if Republic forces at Borleias hadn't arrived to augment the meager defense force. This combined force managed to destroy the Yuuzhan Vong ships in the Black Bantha, reducing the Coruscant attack for almost in half.
