Orbital bombardment/Legends

Orbital bombardment is the term to describe an attack from space on a planet.

The most effective means of doing this was using several capital ships to target a specific area on a planet. The Mandalorians were very adept at using this in the Mandalorian Wars. The planet Telos was also attacked by orbital bombardment. Darth Malak used this to attack the planet of Taris, while looking for Bastila Shan. Orbital bombardment was a factor during the Battle of Kashyyyk (Imperial Era).
