The Siege of Coruscant was a major space battle in 9 ABY during the Thrawn campaign. Since his forces were outnumbered by the New Republic defenses of its capital Coruscant, Imperial Grand Admiral Thrawn used cloaking technology to create an effective siege weapon. To do this, he fitted twenty-two asteroids with cloaking devices and placed them on-board several of his Star Destroyers.
