- "We cannot overemphasize the importance of this mission, Captain. The future security of the Galactic Republic hinges on the destruction of this single weapon."
- ―General Garza
The Battle of the Gauntlet was a military action undertaken by the Republic Military to destroy the Gauntlet, a superweapon belonging to the Sith Empire during the early days of the Galactic War. A faster-than-light hyperspace cannon mounted on a Harrower-class dreadnought, the Gauntlet was to be put into mass production upon completion, but a combined attack by the Fifth Assault Fleet of the Republic Navy under Fleet Admiral Numinn and several divisions of the Republic Army and the Republic Special Forces Division, including the SpecForce units Havoc Squad and the Safecrackers, resulted in the superweapon's destruction.

STAR WARS: The Old Republic - Question ! :) - Page 3 on The Old Republic's official website (backup link) places Star Wars: The Old Republic's base game content about ten to twelve years after the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant, which is dated to 3653 BBY by Star Wars: The Old Republic Encyclopedia. The Prologue and Act I of the class storylines are assumed to take place in 3643 BBY, as they are roughly concurrent to each other and the Jedi Knight Act I storyline is dated to 3643 BBY by The Old Republic — The Lost Suns 2. Additionally,
Forums: Dear Story Team, What Year Are We Currently In? on The Old Republic's official website (backup link) and Star Wars: The Old Republic Encyclopedia establish that the Battle of Ilum and the end of Act III for the class stories occur in 3640 BBY. Additionally, Act II for all classes, while featuring conflict between the two factions, occurs prior to the official collapse of the Treaty of Coruscant, which The Old Republic: Annihilation places in the middle of 3641 BBY. Taken together, this means that base game content spans from 3643 BBY to 3640 BBY, and the class storylines extend over this period, this article assumes that Act II takes place within 3642 BBY and the first half of 3641 BBY. The Battle of the Gauntlet takes place at the very end of Act II.
