Second Battle of Coruscant (Galactic Civil War)

The Second Battle of Coruscant was a decisive battle in the Galactic Civil War. It was fought between the Galactic Empire, led by Tricolus and Supreme Commander Adam Harmon and the New Republic led by Admiral Ackbar. The battle had two phases; the Space Battle and the Ground Battle.

Space Battle
The Space Battle lasted for two hours, with the larger Republic Fleet only gaining the upper hand once the massive shield generator had been destroyed, and after they captured the Dark Laser, which had wrecked so much havoc that they had to get up so close to the Harmon’s Fleet that debris from hit ship would damage other ships. Harmon pulled his fleet out in time to avoid a massacre of his own ships (which was only done when he stunned the Emperor, who was bent at holding Coruscant at all costs).

Ground Battle
The ground battle lasted for two days, the trapped 705, 880 and 501st Legions fighting to the last man to save their capitol, against overwhelming odds. In one last ditch attempt to escape, they launched an all out attack with PTT walkers and AT-AT walkers which only halted the Republic long enough to flank them. It was the single bloodiest land battle in the Galactic Civil War, and resulted in the capture and liberation of Coruscant by the New Republic.
