Battle of Earth (Second Galactic Civil War)

"So, Earth has joined the barbarians! They will pay dearly for their treason!"

- on Earth joining the Confederation

The Battle of Earth was a battle between the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances (and pro-GFFS Earth Loyalists) and the Confederation-allied Confederate Kingdom of Earth. The battle was the result of Queen Jane Zarkan II, daughter of famed Separatist Jane Zarkan, withdrawing Earth from the GFFS and allying with the Confederation due to the GFFS becoming more oppressive.

Prelude
"I agree with Corellia, the Galactic Alliance is becoming too oppressive, I believe that it's the peoples' right to rise up against an oppressive, tyrannical system. Henceforth, I hereby declare Earth's withdrawal from the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances, and allegiance with the Confederation."

In the years after the Swarm War leading up to the Second Galactic Civil War, people began to feel that the GFFA was becoming too oppressive, and was turning into a "reborn Empire". Corellia and the Five Worlds, refusing to put up with the oppressive GFFA, declared independence from the GFFA and founded the Corellian Confederation.

Following the alliance of planets such as Fondor, Commenor and Bespin to Corellia, the Corellian Confederation was renamed simply the "Confederation". Jane Zarkan II was sympathic to the Confederation's cause, she agreed with the Corellian view that the GFFA had becoming too oppressive, especially after the founding of the, the GFFFA's secret police, Jane Zarkan II finally decided to join Corellia's revolution, so she founded the Confederate Kingdom of Earth and withdrew her planet from the GFFA, and joined Corellia's Separatist government.

Darth Caedus (Jacen Solo) Was furious at Earth for joining his enemies, and decided to launch and invasion of Earth to conquer it and force it to rejoin the GFFA.

Battle
"My people, once more we must take up arms in the defence of our freedom! I am reminded of the good old days, when my mother pledged her allegiance the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and the two battles we fought against the Republic in the defence of our liberty, and the rebellion we fought against the Galactic Empire. Now we must fight to defend ourselves from this new Galactic Empire! Corellia is right, the Galactic Alliance has become the "reborn Empire", it is but a shadow of its New Republic predecessor! We and our allies must liberate ourselves from this evil, draconian, oppressive empire!"
