The Second Battle of Fondor took place in 41 ABY, as part of the Second Galactic Civil War. Fondor had earlier left the Galactic Alliance for the Confederation, and to shore up his prestige, Chief of State Jacen Solo decided to retake the world, along with its orbital shipyards. This was the last battle that Jacen Solo and Admiral Cha Niathal would fight together as the Joint Chiefs of State, as the battle resulted in the division of the Galactic Alliance; there were forces who remained loyal to Darth Caedus, and those who supported Niathal. The Imperial Remnant and the majority of the Alliance fleet allied themselves with Caedus, while Niathal only rallied a third of the remaining Alliance ships to her cause.
