The Invasion of Coruscant

The Invasion of Coruscant occurred during The Great Annexing when the Archaic Sith Empire launched an attack on the Republic capital world Coruscant.

The Archaic Sith Empire began it's push into the core worlds in 6031 BBY in an attempt to seize the most important planets from the Republic's control. Coruscant was one of the last planets to be captured by the Sith, late into the war in 6024 BBY. After the Sith took control of the planet, the Republic was fragmented and the Jedi were dispersed and hunted across the galaxy by the Sith. Many resistance movements were held by Coruscantians and Jedi who remained on planet and were temporarily able to hold back the Sith from taking complete control of the planet, however these movements were eventually erased 5 years after the invasion took place.

Coruscant would later be conquered by Vycerant's Empire in 5996 BBY during The Sith Civil War and would later be returned to the hands of the Republic after the war ended in 5979 BBY.
