Invasion of Krownest

The Battle of Krownest was an engagement during the Mandalorian Theatre of the Galactic Civil War between the Galactic Empire and Clans Wren and Rodarch of the Mandalorian resistance. The battle was initiated by the landing of an Imperial invasion force on the ancestral home world of Clan Wren and lasted over three weeks before the remnants of the 436th Imperial Army division surrendered to the defending forces. It was the battle that brought Sabine the closest to being taken into long term Imperial custody as she was almost moved from the 436ths main camp on Krownest to one of the bases on Mandalore before Ezra, Tristan and a small strike force intervened.

Opening Stages
The Imperial forces that would later take part in the ground offensive were ferried to the planet by Gozanti class cruisers escorting an Acclamator class Assault Carrier. They arrived in system at approximately midday Galactic Standard Time with the personnel at the Wren stronghold notifying Ursa Wren on Zanbar. Ursa assembled as many warriors of from her own Clan as possible and accepted an offer of assistance from Vrasog Rodarch. Ursa's space force consisted of her own Crusader class Corvette, a number of Gauntlet fighters including Ezra and Sabine's Archangel and a number of captured Imperial ships.

All but two of the Gozanti escorts were destroyed in space but the Acclamators TIE fighters held off Ursa's force long enough for it to land on Krownest itself. The two Gozantis landed near the towns of Silverpyre and Brackenpoint to suppress local resistance as originally planned.
