Fourth Battle of Sullust

The final stage of the Imperial Blitzkrieg. This month-long battle began with the arrival of the Imperial fleet, fresh from Mon Calamari. The defense fleet was quickly routed, and in the process the New Republic lost one of its Star Destroyers, the Templar, hijacked by an Imperial commando team.

A blockade was put up around Sullust and preparations were made for a ground invasion. Nearly a month later the first divisions of Imperial troops landed on the volcano planet, and met heavy resistance.

Fighting was extreme, and losses were immense on both sides. But with Imperial superiority in the air and in space, the defenders were soon wiped out, and Imperial control of the planet was complete.
