Takeover of Talloran village

During the Separatist War on Ord Mantell, forces of the Mantellian Separatist Movement took over and occupied the settlement of Talloran village. Talloran was one of the first settlements the Separatists infiltrated when they arrived on the island of Avilatan, and the Separatist agents found sympathizers in many of the local working-class people, who were angry over the exploitation and abuse of them by corrupt members of the Ord Mantell Central Authority, and got them to agree to help secure the village. The takeover did not begin until after the Separatists had conquered the small island of Mannett Point, and the husbands of some local women died defending the village. In order to contain the Separatists, the Central Authority's backers in the Galactic Republic set up a Blockade of Talloran village, which resulted in food shortages inside the walls of the settlement.
