Battle of Chandrila (Republic-Mandalorian Wars)

The battle of Chandrila was a battle fought between the Union and the Republic, it took place in 4,021 BBY after the Battle of Kuat. Chandrila was a planet which had a complete population that supported the republic. It's citizens were loyal to it and believed with galactic support the war could be won. The world's leaders kept lobbying for the republic and often convinced newly declared neutral systems to rejoin the republic cause. Darth Admer encountered this as a threat to the continuation of the war, and, immediately after he retreated from Kuat sent his forces to take Chandrila, thus ripe much of the republic's support from it.

The Imperial troopers began to land and assault the Chandrilan capital of Hanna City, and continuing to push the Republic defense positions back to the outskirts of the city. Republic forces fought to the death to protect every inch of ground in the capital, but in vein. The capital fell and soon after it, other major cities surrendered, seeing no chance in continuing to fight the evil Empire. Chandrila has fallen. = Casualties and Aftermath =

The battle was concluded in the destruction of all Republic land troops, as well as the destruction of all Jedi presence in the planet. After the battle, the population showed no resistance to the Empire, seeing what happened to Hannah City, which resisted to it's destruction. Mandalorian casualties are estimated 800,000 men, as well as 2,450 land vehicles.

Space casualties
In space, all of republic forces were either destroyed or seized. Mandalorain space casualties are numbered approximately 200 capital ships, 623 corvettes, 302 support ships and 6,000 fighters.

Aftermath
After the battle, all of Chandrila's population had to face continuous executions of all Republic loyalists, and were forced to live in intimidation until the end of Imperial rule on the planet. This battle marked the beginning of the collapse of the republic, since it's galactic support was dramatically decreased. The Core Worlds Campaign continued and several systems were taken by the Empire, and this made the Jedi understand that continuing to fight is only to prolong the inevitable, and many decided to run into exile. Some joined the Mandalorians, and some continued to fight.
