The operation on Abraxas was one of the first engagements of the New Republic after the end of the Nagai–Tof War.[3] Admiral Firmus Nantz was given command of the First Fleet, tasked with operations in the galaxy's Western Reaches. He staged his campaign from the planet Saijo.[2]
From there, Nantz took the First to Abraxas where the fleet engaged and destroyed the Eiattu pirates. The move was a show of force that was planned to keep two of the new Imperial warlords—Moff Utoxx Prentioch and Superior General Sander Delvardus—bottled up in their own territories. The tactic succeeded; Prentioch remained in the Bomis Koori system, while Delvardus guarded the borders of his fiefdom.[2]
Behind the scenes
Jason Fry confirmed on the Jedi Council Forums that the Eiattu pirates mentioned in The Essential Guide to Warfare are the pirates from Lando's Commandos: On Eagles' Wings and that the operation on Abraxas follows Lando Calrissian's mission to Radix.[1]
