A fictional battle in the Star Wars Universe, The Battle of Kirrek during the Great Hyperspace War was a battle fought between the army of Koros and the Sith Empire.

Prior to the battle, Empress Teta had made an agreement with Commander Llaban, commander of the rebellion in the earlier Battle of Kirrek, to fight alongside eachother to defend Kirrek against the Sith, earning amnesty for the ex-rebels.

She had also decided to let the prisoners mining the colony world of Ronika to fight in the defense of Kirrek, but they were absent for the beginning of the battle.

Early in the battle, Odan-Urr attempted to use his Battle Meditation as he did during the Unification Wars, but the fury and determination of the Massassi warriors was infallible.

Led by the Sith Lord, Shar Dakhan, the Massassi broke through the line of defenders and began climbing the wall. Separating much of the defenders from the Sith onslaught, Odan-Urr's Master Ooroo; a Celegian who survives by floating in a tank of cyanogen, which is toxic to most species; ordered the Kirrek rebels to find cover. He then tipped himself over, shattering his cyanogen tank and sending the fumes into the breaths of several Massassi, led by Shar Dakhan, killing them instantly. This killed Ooroo as well, as oxygen is just as toxic to him as cyanogen is to the Massassi.

As the prisoners from Ronika arrived, and with the death of the Sith commander, victory for the Tetans quickly became a foregone conclusion.
