Conquest of Kashyyyk

The Conquest of Kashyyyk, or the Victory at Kashyyyk, was a battle between Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance after the battle of Endor. This battle marked the start of the Second Clone Wars, though the name was given after the second battle, Assault on Mount Tantiss.

The Battle
When retreating Imperial forces reached Kashyyyk from Endor, they decided to stay there and repair there ships and wait for others from across the galaxy to regroup with them. However, the native Wookiees rebelled and attacked Imperial troops on the surface. The Imperial 501st was sent down to the surface of the planet and fight off the Wookiees. Many Imperials were also ambushed by the Wookiees and slaughtered with no mercy, for enslaving their kind. After killing several hundred and with still more coming, Imperial troops cleared out of the area and let the TIE Bombers do the rest.
