Battle for Raxus
A major battle at the End of the Clone Wars over the CIS Civilian Capital City of Raxus.
The Conflict
Prelude
After the Battle of Coruscant the Republic acted swiftly, enacting plans to strike at the CIS Civilian Capital. A large fleet lead by Jedi Master Liu-shi-liu and Padawan Tala Prea-Papa struck swiftly. With a large portion of the Orbital fleet removed for the strike on Coruscant the CIS fleet was swiftly overwhelmed and Republic forces began landing forces before the CIS fleet had even lost their shields.
Deployment
Republic forces landed gunships in key positions in and around the capital with the primary goal of taking out CIS Anti-Aircraft batteries to allow Republic Close Air Support to prevent the escape of the CIS leadership.
