Battle of Bestine

The Battle of Bestine was one of the most influential battles in the entire Second Galactic Civil War

The Battle
After quelling an insurgent threat in Bestine's Boontai Mountain Range, Raylen Eros' 97th Fleet is ambushed by an unknown Triumvirate Fleet. Taken off-guard, the 97th Fleet is barraged with blasterfire, which tore through their defenses. In an effort to stop the Triumvirate, Grand Admiral Raylen Eros ordered the firing of the capital ship Elysium 's nuclear beam, however, they were unsure what would happen when firing this weapon in Space.

The weapon ended up destroying the entire Triumvirate fleet, and most of the Federation fleet, however, a few ships on the Federation side escaped the blast in time.
