Steel Barricade (AW)

The Steel Barricade was an operation implemented by Coalition Galactic Empire which consisted in blockades and strong military occupations of several planets, like Tatooine and other nearby ones. The campaign was led by the 35th Coalition Fleet, which interdicted the access to all the worlds under its control, also killing civilians and neutral organizations.

The Alliance could not tolerate a similar behaviour, and also after calls by the and other crime lords on Tatooine they decided to respond. A campaign named Operation: Sunshine was begun and slowly all blocaked were forced, coming to a final Imperial defeat over Tatooine, which had been chosen as 35th Fleet's headquarters.
