- "Duro was attacked, Warmaster, as our intelligence sug - I gested it would be. The executor there requested reinforce - I ments. My men were hungry for battle, and I complied. Then they came. I recalled the ships j when I understood the ploy, but they were prevented from leaving the Duro system by their interdictors. The infidels I kept our forces pinned in the planet's gravity well and then I fled. They are cowards!"
- ―Zhat Lah, to Nas Choka about the loss of Fondor
A battle in the Duro system took place in 29 ABY, near the end of the Yuuzhan Vong War. It was a failed attempt by the Galactic Alliance to reclaim the planet Duro from the Yuuzhan Vong. The battle lasted for over a day, as the Alliance fleet fought its way through the outer Duro system, only reaching serious resistance in the inner system, where Yuuzhan Vong reinforcements arrived. General Wedge Antilles ordered a retreat in order to protect Alliance forces at Fondor, the entire battle having been a feint to draw Yuuzhan Vong reinforcements from the battle there; however, the ships crewed by native Duros refused, and were destroyed.
