During the Great Galactic War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire, Republic forces under the leadership of Jedi Master Orgus Din and Lieutenant Harron Tavus of the elite Republic Special Forces Division unit Havoc Squad drove back an invasion attempt by the Empire on the planet Karideph. Part of the twenty-eight-year Minos Cluster Campaign, the battle saw both Din and Tavus named the "Heroes of Karideph" for their bravery during the fighting.

PreludeEdit

When the Sith Empire returned to the galaxy in 3681 BBY and sparked the Great Galactic War with the Galactic Republic,[1] the Imperial Military launched a campaign to conquer the resource-rich Minos Cluster.[3] The resulting offensive lasted the entire twenty-eight years of the war,[4] with Jedi and the Republic Army battling the Imperial Army and its Sith leaders across the entire sector for almost three decades.[1]

The Jedi Master Orgus Din was among the many Jedi who were stationed in the Minos Cluster for long periods of time, and by the end of the war Din had seen more fighting alongside Republic soldiers than any other surviving Jedi. After the Republic defeated the Empire at the Battle of Alderaan[1] in 3667 BBY,[2] Harron Tavus was recruited into Havoc Squad—an elite unit in the Republic's newly formed Special Forces Division, and he was eventually stationed in the Minos Cluster as well. Tavus and Din soon became friends, and the two led Republic forces on many highly successful raids against Imperial forces throughout the Minos Cluster.[1]

The battleEdit

Sometime before the end of the war in 3653 BBY, the Empire attempted to invade the planet Karideph,[1] a world whose main industry was the production of foodstuffs.[5] However, Din and Tavus led the Republic Military in a counterattack on Karideph, successfully turning back the Imperial offensive and forcing the Empire to abandon its invasion efforts.[1]

AftermathEdit

For their bravery and leadership in the battle on Karideph, both Din and Tavus were named the "Heroes of Karideph,"[1] and the two continued to serve in the battle for the Minos Cluster until the Empire withdrew its forces[4] in 3653 BBY[1] as an offer of peace.[4]

Behind the scenesEdit

The battle at Karideph was first mentioned in the 2012 reference guide Star Wars: The Old Republic Encyclopedia, under the entry for Orgus Din.[1]
