Assault on Denova

Soon after the defeat of the Eternal Empire, Republic forces on the Outer Rim planet of Denova left their faction for the newly formed Eternal Alliance.

Little objection was received from the Republic, as most officials saw it as a waste of resources. The main reason being there at all was that the Republic wished to keep the extensive baradium mines out of Imperial hands. On top of that, the Alliance Commander and Supreme Commander Jace Malcom previously agreed on a deal that Republic defectors to the Alliance were not considered traitors and that the Republic wouldn't attempt to retrieve them.

While seemingly a peaceful transfer of ownership, Republic General Amos Rike prepared an invasion force that swiftly took the mines hostage. While the Alliance was free of KIA's, they refused to let the traitors hold its territory.
