When was the battle of alderaan

YES NO. In This Wiki Guide. Set years after the events in Knights of the Old Republic and featuring some familiar faces , Star Wars: The Old Republic will put players on either side of a massive war between the Republic and the Empire. Release Date. The Sith forces obliterated the local Alderaanian defense forces and continued on to burn entire cities to the ground.

Jedi Knight Warren Sedoru was critically injured in the fighting, [9] while others took to hiding in ruined cities in the hope of ambushing a lone enemy. As Malgus continued his brutal campaign across the planet, he set his sights on Alderaan's planetary capital city [10] and Castle Organa. Up until the Sith advance on the capital, the soldiers of the Republic Military had been recovering from the wounds of battle and awaiting orders from their superiors.

Captain Jace Malcom of Havoc Squad led his forces into position on a ridge overlooking the forest route through the Juran region that was to be traversed by Malgus's troops.

As the Imperials marched past the Republic's position, the trooper commander opened fire with a blaster cannon , initiating the ambush.

The rest of Havoc Squad leaped down from the ridge to join their captain in battle against the Sith through the forests of Alderaan. The troopers were able to destroy a number of Mark I Imperial assault droids with thermal detonators and blaster fire, but were eventually engaged by Darth Malgus himself.

Upon seeing the Sith Lord impale one of his comrades, Captain Malcom took aim at Malgus, though his first several shots were ineffective. The captain's final cannon blast engulfed the Imperial commander in flames, badly damaging his face. When Malcom attempted to rush the Sith Lord and finish him off, Malgus assaulted him with Force lightning and threw him across the battlefield. The remaining Sith forces gained the upper-hand in the skirmish, eventually forcing the Republic soldiers on the defensive.

Havoc Squad troopers that fell behind were systematically executed by the Sith, [6] until intervention from Satele Shan, who had raced to Malcom's aid after contacting the Council. Shan and the Sith Lord's fierce melee was nearly ended when Malgus disarmed his opponent and attempted to stab her with his lightsaber. His attack was unsuccessful however, as Shan was able to absorb the energy from Malgus's lightsaber, essentially catching the blade with her own hands.

While the Sith Lord attempted to penetrate the Jedi's defenses, he was tackled once again by Captain Malcom, who had recovered from their earlier scuffle. While the two grappled with one another, the Havoc squad captain activated a handheld grenade , sparking a blast that threw the two combatants apart, and grievously injured both.

Jace Malcom was rendered unconscious, though Malgus quickly recovered. Despite surviving the explosion, the Sith Lord was again assaulted by Satele Shan, who threw him with the Force into a large rock face.

As Malgus struggled against her telekinetic attack, the Jedi mustered strength through the Force and delivered a powerful Force Wave, impacting the Sith Lord and shattering the rock around him.

With the Imperial commander incapacitated, Republic forces continued to wipe out the Sith forces both in the forest battle and across the rest of Alderaan. Malcom later recovered to find the Imperials defeated, along with many of his own men. Upon being joined by his savior Shan, the commander fired a signal flare into the sky to indicate the Republic victory.

The flare was matched by dozens of others across the planet that were immediately followed by the arrival of the Republic fleet , which had returned from addressing Malgus's diversion. The return of the Republic's naval forces prompted the surviving Sith invaders to initiate a full retreat from the Alderaan theater.

The seriously wounded Darth Malgus was rescued from the battlefield by his subordinates [7] and possibly the bounty hunter Shae Vizla, [2] and loaded into his personal shuttle , bound for safer regions. While the Sith Lord recovered in his escaping vessel, he felt the presence of a Jedi in the ruins of a township destroyed by the orbital bombardment. Furious over the failure of his invasion, Malgus was determined to take the life of the Jedi in revenge.

To test the battle station's destructive power and to coax information out of Princess Leia, Tarkin decides to destroy her home planet of Alderaan. In the last years of the Republic, the peaceful planet was represented by Bail Organa , a Loyalist Senator who supported Supreme Chancellor Palpatine while seeking to aid refugees of the Clone Wars. Despite his support for Palpatine, Organa became alarmed as the war ground on and the Supreme Chancellor amassed more and more powers.

Alderaan remained part of the Empire , but Organa secretly helped knit separate resistance cells into the Rebel Alliance and groomed his adopted daughter Leia to take his place in the Senate. Skip Navigation Disney.
