Second Battle of Mon Calamari (Usurper)

The New Republic saw an opportunity to deal a blow to both the Empire and the forces of Palpatine and struck at Palpatine-held Mon Calamari.

The planet was heavily defended, but with the Empire simentaneously attacking Athaniss, the New Republic was capable of gaining the upperhand until reinforcements from now-lost Athaniss joined the fray.

The naval battle dragged on as the New Republic deployed ground troops. Unfortunately for the army of Palpatine, they had lost a majority of their forces in the nuclear explosion on Athaniss.

Major Kaum, a survivor of Athaniss, organized the retreat of the "rebels", and evacuated along with the remnants of the navy to their last stronghold on Novar III. The planet was liberated by the Republic, and Mon Calamari soon rejoined the Republic.
