The Republic's rescue mission of General Alek Squint on Phindar proved successful, they were even able to rescue other important prisoners of war from the Mandalorians. During the battle they even took out the Dominion's best Jedi Hunter, the Chiss Kirsaan. With Alek back in the Republic Army alongside his friend and unofficial master, the Supreme Commander, the Republic was able to stop the Mandalorian Onslaught and the war's pace began to slow as both sides were now on equal footing. Slowly though, the Republic began to turn the tide of the war. They could successfully defend against Mandalorian attacks and push them back. The war drew to a standstill.

In 3969 BBY, the Republic 1st Fleet got ready for their first real offensive during the 5 year war that has engulfed much of the galaxy. The Supreme Commander has called his best in for this battle. His goal, retake the city-planet of Taris. It was one of the first planets conquered by the Mandalorians and freeing it from their control would not only open up Hyperspace routes to send supplies to Telos, but also serve as a symbol of the turning of the tide of war. If this mission was successful, the Republic would be telling the whole galaxy that they were strong enough to overcome this seemingly unstoppable enemy.

(That's the intro for this story arc: The Reconquista of Taris.)
