Legend

devised by Osten Dal'Nay and Broof Yurdel, this was the codename for a series of surprise assaults launched by the Cularin Militia just before the onset of the Clone Wars. Many believed that the Cularin Militia had been disbanded, especially after the build-up of Thaereian Military forces in the Cularin System. However, this was the appearance the Dal'Nay and Yurdel wished the system to see, and they went to work in the background, meticulously planning the operation. When it was launched, the Cularin Militia was activated with coded transmissions, and within hours they ahd secured or overrun many Thaereian military bases throughout the system. This operation was carried out with the full support of the Jedi Knights on Almas, who suddenly found their communications to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant were blocked by Thaereian forces. While the ground battles proved to be swift victories for the Cularin Militia, their naval forces were initially outnumbered three-to-one by Thaereian warships. The space battle turned when unknown forces - bearing an isignia that showed an image of Cularin superimposed with the letter "N" - arrived in the Cularin System and decimated that Thaereian forces.
