During the Galactic War between the Galactic Republic and the reconstituted Sith Empire, a battle occurred in the asteroids near the planet New Cov when Imperial starfighters fortified themselves in the system by setting up a prototype minefield using remote satellites. In order to protect the Republic war effort in the region, the Coruscant Aegis squadron was tasked with destroying the satellites and the Imperial forces defending them.[4]
The battle
Using the ice field above New Cov for cover, the Coruscant Aegis eliminated one of the defending Terminus-class destroyers early on, before whitling down the pursuing enemy starfighters and destroying minefield clusters along the way. The slower ML-39 Brute Patrol Ship, which served the Imperials as the primary minelayer, was destroyed next. On the other side of the minefield another Imperial destroyer awaited the Coruscant Aegis but was crippled and destroyed like its sistership had been earlier. Lastly, when Imperial opposition had dwindled, the Coruscant Aegis targeted the central control satellite, destroying it before jumping to hyperspace.[4]
