Battle of Balmorra (Great Galactic Wars)

The Battle of Balmorra was a conflict during the Great Galactic War that dragged into the Cold War. During their invasion of the galaxy the Sith Empire targeted Balmorra for capture due to the planet's reputation as a prolific manufacturer of droids and weaponry. The Galactic Republic committed itself to the defense of Balmorra, as it was a historically loyal world, however the Sith onslaught proved to great to defend against, and Republic forces were gradually withdrawn from the battle. Around the time of the Alderaan Peace Conference, the Republic's Demolitions Squad 419 was captured by Sith forces on the planet. Jedi Knight Fortris Gall, who had been formulating their rescue, went ahead with his plan despite the official end of the war with the Treaty of Coruscant. Gall's actions forced the Republic forces under General Buryn to remain on the planet past the deadlines set forth by the Treaty. As a result, the Empire resumed their attack, and the battle was put back into full swing. During the Cold War, the Republic once again built up enough strength to engage the Empire fully on Balmorra, however the people of Balmorra still felt as if they had been abandoned by the Republic during the Great Galactic War.
