Battle of Kumru (521 ABY)

Battle of Kumru (521 ABY)

                                                                                                         Outcomes:

1. Red Empire Victory
2. Republic forces on Kumru wiped out
3. The Red Empire takes over Kumru
4. Milena Aneles successfully escapes to Coruscant

 Background of the battle: Following the death of Darth Letig the year prior, Mironda Bunanacore became the newest member of the Sith Order, with Darth Terix giving her the Sith name Darth Mirun. Lord Mirun sensed that Zemog Aneles, a female Jedi who died 15 years earlier, had a daughter named Milena Aneles (who was 16 years old at the time). Aneles was born (and was still living) on the scarcely populated planet of Kumru (which was way out in the Outer Rim, with a total population of 16 Million). Darth Mirun led an invasion army to Kumru, which wiped out the Republic's entire forces, including Jedi High Council members Calya Delruia IV and Northa Jarfar VIII.  This gave the Empire a firm grip over the planet, with Mirun convincing the planet's government that they should join the Red Empire. Mirun never did capture Milena Aneles, as Jedi Masters Calya Delruia IV and Northa Jarfar VII, told the sixteen-year-old to escape to Coruscant, while they fought Mirun, giving up their lives so she could finish her escape to safety. At the same time, the rest of the Republic's forces on Kumru were completely wiped out. During the battle, Red Empire Commander Jennu Callipo-Bensun discovered that the Republic's HAV/w A6 Juggernaut's (AKA the Turbo Tank) armor was impenetrable to even the most powerful Rocket Launchers, but its front and rearview mirrors (which were said to be "shatterproof") could be busted in by the rockets shot by rocket launchers imploding or exploding the monstrous tank. Six of the ten Turbo Tanks were destroyed this way.

(the name Bunanacore is based off the fruit banana)
