Battle of Loronar (Cail's Empire)

The Battle of Loronar was a major space battle in 6 ABY, fought in orbit of the planet Loronar. The battle was the culmination of months of planning and campaigning by both Cail's Coalition and the Grand Imperial Alliance, two sides composed of the various warlord territories carved out of the remains of the Galactic Empire following the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY. The Grand Imperial Alliance, confident in victory, attacked the fortress world of Loronar, a strategically important planet occupied by Cail's faction, and were dealt a surprise and severe defeat at the hand of the combined Coalition fleet. The battle played a large part in establishing Balmus Cail's dominance over the other warring Imperial factions, a position he would hold for some time.
