The clash at Lorrad occurred during the Pre-Republic era and involved the Kingdom of Cron, led by Pirate King Xer VIII, and the forces of the Back Spiral. This battle took place on the planet known as Lorrad.
After the defeat of King Ferece, Xer seized power and became the new King of Cron. He then initiated several military operations aimed at dominating the Tion Cluster. Xer's empire expanded significantly after he had subjugated the entire Kingdom of Cron, overcome the Three Allied Kingdoms, and also defeated the [Back Spiral](/article/back_spiral]. Despite this expansion, the Livien League remained a resistant force. Following an initial engagement at Amarin, the Liviens once more triumphed over the Cronese fleet at Lorrad. These consecutive losses angered Xer, yet he learned from them and realized he had stretched his resources too thin. Consequently, he withdrew from the League's territories and dedicated the rest of his reign to consolidating Cron into a powerful empire.
