Battle of Alderaan

Battle of Alderaan
Being a strategic planet, Alderaan is a sizable world that would grant a foothold in the Core Worlds and Inner Rim, as well give one faction a direct route to the heart of the Galaxy, Coruscant.

The Initial Strike
The Imperial Domain struck without warning, sending a fleet of over 20 cruisers and 30 support vessels to secure the orbit of Alderaan. Met by less than 24 New Republic ships total, the Imperial Domain was able to quickly deploy their ground forces and begin the invasion of Alderaan. The battle was brutal, both sides using infantry to repel the other as the dense forests limited armored tactics to ineffective artillery strikes. After the first two days, the Imperial Commander ordered the bombardment of the forest surrounding the LZ's, and almost leveled the entire area in a 120 kilometer range. Soon, the Imperial Domain was able to bring the full force of their armored units (AT-ATs, AT-DTs) and quickly crushed the Republic lines of defense. It wasn't until a Hammerhead-Class Corvette from the ongoing space battle sacrificed itself and the crew to ram through Imperial walker after walker, crashing into the earth at full speed while taking down a whole line of Imperial armor, the New Republic regained the tides of war. Without the constant pressure of Imperial armor, the long range IP-OL Heavy Artillery cannons began to rain down destruction on Imperial FOB's and ground HQ's. After 4 weeks of brutal fighting, both sides had amounted over 2 million dead and ~750,000 civilian casualties, but the Imperial Domain soon ran out of supplies and a secured LZ, and were forced to retreat from the planet and back to Imperial Space
