Siege of Kuat

"These New Republic thugs are preventing us from getting to the surface! We need to get past these ships immediately!"

The Siege of Kuat was an on-going conflict during the campaign to find Leia Organa Solo that involved the Kuat Defense Fleet of the New Republic being sieged by six of the Nakamura Navy's powerful Imperial IV-class Star Destroyers above the planet of Kuat.

The siege began when the Nakamura Navy was ordered to sweep the Core Worlds region for Chief of State Leia Organa Solo as she wasn't present on Coruscant during the invasion. Before the war had started, the New Republic issued Defense Fleets to certain planets close to the territories controlled by the Nakamura Empire.
