The Battle of Vortex was the fiercest battle during the initial Confederate involvement in the Xen'Chi War.

The Battle

The Battle of Vortex commenced when the Confederate First Battle Fleet dropped out of hyperspace above Vortex and assaulted the Xen'Chi battle fleet stationed there. In the course of nearly two hours, the defenders were defeated, though at a high cost.

After bombarding every known military installation on Vortex and performing battlefield repairs, the First Battle Fleet left for Coruscant.
