The Battle for Alsakan
The securing of Anaxes was easy for the Mandalorians and Empire. The Galactic Alliance pulled out their forces, all those who still resided in the system were the beginnings of resistance movements or those who welcomed the Mandalorians and the Imperials on their soil. The armada spread its way through the system and in no time was ready to make their jump to Alsakan, where the Galactic Alliance stood ready.
The Alliance compiled their forces together to make their final stand of the core, fleets pulled from Anaxes and Coruscant, as well as forces from the Chiss-Allinace border piled into a large blockade. It was a welcoming sight to those who craved battle, then tension boiled as the opposing forces faced off, one waiting for the other until the Mandalorians made their move besting the Alliance with their tactical brilliance. The military might of the Mandalorians and the Imperium soon broke holes in the Alliance defenses allowing for transports to reach the ground in planetary assault.
Task teams of comprised of SpecForce soldiers and Jedi hold up their defense in several locations around the planet as the Imperials and Mandalorians worked together to secure the system. Alsakan had not seen nor felt such a disturbance on its soil since the holocaust of Xenvear, such a time long ago, only considered being legend amongst the naïve.

With the ground invasion proceeding according to plan, combined Imperial and Mandalorian forces swept down amongst some of the most sacred locations on Alsakan in a bid to hold key cultural and historical monuments. With their ancient and sacred monuments threatened, the Alsakans would be forced to surrender the planet to the aggressors or face losing the relics of the past. As Galactic Alliance forces continuously were forced to give more ground to the aggressors, they too began to retreat towards these monuments, knowing that their enemy would prize the symbols of hope that had inspired the Alsakan people for thousands of years. One of these was the ancient and revered Temple of Shalharra.
Millenia ago, before even the founding of the Republic, the Temple of Shalharra was the very heart of the Alsakan people. It was on this site that a young girl recieved a prophetic vision that united the Alsakans in peace and prosperity, and gave birth to the Jintu priesthood and the Alsakan reverence for nature - and so the Temple of Shalharra was erected. It was a short lived prosperity, however. The girl, Lharra - first Vicar of the Alsakans - fell ill and passed away before the Temple was completed. A clay mold was made of the Vicar's face, and so began the tradition of Vicars being elected by facial features that domianted their culture for thousands of years.
The Temple itself saw few seasons of use before the prophetic visions of the second Vicar gave birth to a new destiny in the stars. For thousands of years following that edict, the Alsakans dwelt, lived and prospered in their orbital city of Xenvaer, until its eventual downfall during the Alsakan Crisis. Only the Vicar herself was permitted to feel Alsakan soil beneath her feet.
The great plaza that lay before the ruins temple were originally to be a crucial medical zone for injured Alliance forces, but with the overwhelming numbers facing them, Alliance command quickly resorted to a contingency plan: the plaza would serve as a fallback position and potential location for evacuation from Alsakan itself. However, as the last forces of the Galactic Alliance in the area converged on the landing zone, the forces of the Imperium and Mandalorian Clans would begin a final push into the area.
Imperium/Mandalorian: Eliminate Alliance dropships before wounded Alliance forces are able to retreat, then eliminate remaining forces.
Alliance: Defend the plaza until Alliance wounded have been extracted.

Please remember, this isn't a competition. It's collaborative story-telling, so collaborate! Work together to make it an epic tale about how the GA struggled valiantly to defend the station against all odds and held their ground for longer than anyone could have imagined. The outcome may be predetermined, but you can make it a hard won victory for the Galactic Alliance and a heroic defeat for the Imperium and Mandalorians. It doesn't have to be short. Be detailed, but most importantly, have fun!
