Art of War Campaign

The "Art of War" campaign was the name given to the galactic-wide conflict that ensued between multiple factions in the galaxy in 9 ABY. Grand Admiral Thrawn had risen from the failures of Ysanne Isard from years before and became the leader of the Imperial Remnant. Thrawn became a major threat to The New Republic and every other faction that sought to seek control of the galaxy at the time, but Thrawn was always on the move thinking ahead of his competition. The New Republic became the Remnant's biggest threat since their military power grew substantially since the days of the rebellion. Warlord Zsinj was also a very prominent figure that controlled the entire corporate sector and was performing hit and run operations on the New Republic's Outer-Rim outposts.

Imperial Remnant's First Strike
The first assault that the Remnant executed were devastating assaults on New Republic core and Inner-Rim worlds, such as Moorja and Fondor. Thrawn's tactics were too much for the spread out New Republic at the time and he managed to retake Coruscant with relative ease since the New Republic was spread thin dealing with Zsinj's Empire out in the Outer-Rim territories. The New Republic fled to their stronghold on Sullust where they would rendevouz with the rest of their fleet and plan ahead for what was next in their plan. Admiral Ackbar knew Thrawn would be close on their tail at Sullust, so the Republic had to hurry on their trip to Sullust and defending the world as best as they could before the Remnant attacked.

Battle of Eiattu 6
While the New Republic gathered their forces for a retreat to the Outer-Rim, Thrawn sent in his 2nd Fleet, who were already patrolling the Mid-Rim, to assault Eiattu 6 which was under Eriadu Authority control. The battle was an easy victory for the Imperial Remnant and the Eriadu Authority was now on high alert now that the Imperial Remnant made their first strike on the Authority. With Eiattu captured, the Imperial Remnant now had more access to begin pushing their forces through the Mid-Rim and eventually other systems in the Outer-Rim
