Battle of Lorta

"I feel a great disturbance in the Force. Something terrible is going to happen on Lorta. I must leave, immediately"

- Jedi Master Koras Aldamar

The Battle of Lorta was the first battle during the Outer Rim Sieges, fought on the planet Lorta.

The Kroprulan Empire decided to launch a group of sieges on worlds in the Outer- and Mid-rims to announce their presence and tax the economies of seveal worlds.

The team sent to the surface, consisting of Lords Zero, Astra and Crusher and hundreds of men under them fought viciously across the capital cities of the planet, killing hundreds, before they were forced to retreat after an unknown fleet appeared in orbit above the planet. Historians argue that as a consequence, the Sith were the true victors, even though they were forced to retreat.

Behind the scenes
The battle of Lorta was the first battle written about detailing the Outer Rim Sieges and as such is sketchy on details, although Alex, the creator of the idea says that Lorta was a target because of the violent Lortans, to set an example for future campaigns.
