Siege of Morjanssik

The Siege of Morjanssik was the second major strike conducted by the Quarren Survivalist Party during the Dacan Civil War of 16 ABY. It was also the first operation conducted after their existence was revealed to the Mon Calamari Council.

The siege began in the farium mines lining the ocean trench below. Operating with fresh weaponry and armed submersibles, they were able to gain control of the mines quickly. Then, waves of Quarren soldiers assaulted Morjanssik's perimeter.

The New Republic Marine Corps was quick to respond, sending forces into the city. However, they faced a unique challenge, forced to split their troops between two major tasks: defending the city, and evacuating the innocents.

At the time, Morjanssik fueled a majority of the planet's economic backbone. New Republic Military leaders feared that a defeat might favor the Party's needs, not to mention losing entire storehouses of weapons and artillery stockpiled in the city.
