By the time the fleet arrived, however, the battle was already decided. The Ossak natives had put up a remarkable defense and killed nearly all the invading Skavik, though they suffered heavy casualties. The Dark Jedi fleet was already retreating, and the Xoquon Sector Fleet only managed to inflict superficial damage before the ships escaped to lightspeed. Ordering the Ossak lines back, Tariun unleashed his fleet's turbolasers on the remaining Skavik on the surface and massacred them.
