The Defense of High Senadon was a defensive battle that was initiated by the Exile Army and the Black Triangle Syndicate against the city of Senadon. The majority of the city was captured however they were required to take High Senadon, which was the holding of the Senadonian local government and the K'vari Senadonian Assembly. The defense of High Senadon was lead by Councillor Machutadze Botkoveli and was later joined by several other councillors and guardians. Councillors Kapandze Ioseliani, Gelovani Jandieri and Nakashidze Orbeliani joined afterwards with their pormirebas. A K'vari Warrior named Mihrdat lead a secret assault against the Exiles which broke their hold in certain sectors in Senadon.
The initial attack was started when a gathering of Senadonian Senators was interrupted by Exile Councillor Jaqeli Orbeliani. This led to the Senadonian Senate Massacre, after which the remaining senators and the governer, Machutadze Botkoveli, retreated to High Senadon and barricaded themselves. A call to all K'vari Severibi within Senadon was made before the overrun of Senadon by the Exile Army.
Because of the strategic placement of High Senadon, the Exile Army attempted to place a siege. However the concurrent loss at the Battle of Serenope caused the Serenopian Assembly to be freed from their own battle, and allowed for several pormirebas to transfer over. Under orders from Levan Meshka, Councillors Kapandze, Gelovani, and Nakashidze were transferred over to Senadon to assist with the defense. With the assistance of the Vardoni Society, the Councillors Pormirebas were able to drop into Senadon. The defense continued as land was won over by the K'vari.
The breaking point within the Defense was Midhrat's action where he sneaked behind enemy lines with several K'vari Vanguards and attacked Jaqeli's holding, where he managed to make Jaqeli retreat personally from the battle. The Exile Army afterwards collapsed and the siege was lifted. Under orders of the Levanite Sabaphos, male exile members were imprisoned while female exile members were executed.
