Second Battle of Chandrila

The Battle of Chandrila was a two-stage battle planned by Admiral Danik Kreldin, as part of his blitzkrieg plan. With the Empire declaring the annexation of the Caspar Democratic Union, and their initial refusal to be annexed, the Empire declared the CDU to be in an open state of rebellion.

Thus, a small Imperial fleet, led by Kreldin, invaded Mikassa, a planet held by the CDU. This, however, was a mere diversion, to lure the New Republic into diverting its fleet and resources to protecting Caspar from the supposed invasion that would soon follow.

Instead, with Mikassa now in Imperial hands, the Imperial fleet left Mikassa for Chandrila, joining up with the main Imperial battle fleet that took the planet in a sweeping victory.

The ground battle was shorter, Republic forces surrendering, most without a fight. With Chandrila in Imperial hands, the Empire was slowly but surely cutting off the Republic's capital, Coruscant, from the rest of the galaxy.
