In 19 BBY,[2] the final year[3] of the Clone Wars, a campaign occurred within the Outer Rim Territories' D'Astan sector by the Galactic Republic, during the Outer Rim Sieges offensive[1] launched by the Confederacy of Independent Systems amid the conflict.[4] During the campaign, the Republic made several coordinated efforts in order to concentrate their military engagements on both the sector and the Serenno system within. However, despite the democratic government's concentrated efforts in the sector and star system, the Republic was unsuccessful in their attempts to capture Separatist leader Count Dooku's homeworld of Serenno, following multiple waves of attacks on the planet.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
The D'Astan campaign was first mentioned in the current Star Wars canon in the seventieth issue of De Agostini's Star Wars: Build the Millennium Falcon magazine,[1] published around May 4, 2016.[5] In the Star Wars Legends continuity, the Serenno theater was introduced in The Essential Atlas, a 2009 reference book authored by Jason Fry and Daniel Wallace.[6] It was later identified in The Essential Guide to Warfare, a 2012 reference book authored by Fry and Paul R. Urquhart.[7]
