A clash occurred on the planet Farstine in 19 BBY. This battle pitted the Galactic Empire against the resisting elements of the Trade Federation, commanded by Customs Vizier Marath Vooro. The conflict was a component of the Five Veils Campaign, an Imperial operation targeting Trade Federation members who did not recognize the treaty ratified by Neimoidian Federation Viceroy Sentepeth Findos, which ceded control of the Federation's assets to the Empire. Grand Moff Octavian Grant and his fleet decisively defeated Vooro's forces, which included Trade Federation Defense Fleet assets and battle droids, during this engagement. Following the Imperial triumph at Farstine, Grant captured Vooro in the Hook Nebula of the Outer Rim's.
This battle was initially referenced within The Essential Guide to Warfare, a comprehensive guide focusing on galactic conflicts, authored by Jason Fry and Paul R. Urquhart, and made available in 2012.
