Farlex was an Imperial-controlled mining planet in the Outer Rim. By 14 ABY, the planet was mostly forgotten by the Empire and left with a small defense fleet. The New Republic, still reeling from the Imperial Blitzkrieg and in desperate need of resources, struck at the planet with a sizeable task force and quickly overwhelmed the Imperial defense fleet. Ground troops immediately deployed and a three-week long campaign against the Imperial Army, led by Major General Paulusi, began. The remnants of the Imperial fleet withdrew, and Farlex was finally subjugated by the New Republic.
