Liberation of Coruscant (7 ABY)

"I'll let history decide my role in this battle. Like a friend of mine once said, whether I'm a traitor or hero will ultimately be decided by who wins this war. And quite frankly, General, your side isn't looking too good."

- New Republic General Brenn Tantor to Imperial Grand General Malcor Brashin

The Liberation of Coruscant, also called the Siege of Coruscant and Coruscant Seizure, was the New Republic invasion of Coruscant, which was held by the Galactic Empire under Imperial Intelligence director Ysanne Isard. After the Republic took the planet, Imperial forces released the Krytos virus on the populace, which targeted non-Humans. Before the battle, Rogue Squadron infiltrated Coruscant to bring down some of its defenses for the New Republic Defense Fleet.
