A conflict occurred at Uviuy Exen, representing an aspect of the New Republic's campaign to achieve freedom in the aftermath of the Battle of Endor. Riding on the momentum of victories over Moff Utoxx Prentioch and the seizing of Reytha along with Denon, the New Republic dispatched a naval force under the leadership of Admiral Gial Ackbar. This fleet originated from Brentaal IV, a world liberated two years prior, and navigated the Hydian Way with the strategic objective of isolating the New Territories from the Core Worlds.
