Siege of Ramsir

The Siege of Ramsir was an engagement that was fought in the vicinity of the Outer Rim Territories' Ramsir system at some point between 19 BBY and 2 ABY. It saw the participation of the Imperial Army of the Galactic Empire.

In 2 ABY, the Imperial Center Today contributor Eschul Shaywa published the article "A LONG TIME AGO...," which included comments by the military history scholar Hu Jibwe. The latter noted that it was likely that the Taungs and the Battalions of Zhell, two factions that had supposedly fought each other in a conflict two hundred thousand years prior, had used relatively sophisticated military technology such as aircraft and nuclear bombs, as opposed to the more primitive edged weapons commonly used in contemporary stage recreations of one of the conflict's battles. Jibwe further compared the contrast to a hypothetical recreation of the Siege of Ramsir in which the weaponry used by the Imperial Army was limited to parade sabers.
