Neither side had expected the assault on the system to progress as it had, but by the end, it was clear that the only real obstacle standing between Coruscant and her enemies was the Alliance fleet in orbit. The fierce battles that had been raging all across the system just hours before had been extinguished. Entire Alliance battle groups and the garrisons stationed on Coruscant's moons had been decimated. Now what was left of the Alliance Fifth Fleet hugged tight to the planet for their final stand.
Against overwhelming odds such as those they faced, a victory above Coruscant was impossible for the Alliance, but there was still a chance, however slight, that the soldiers on the surface could repel the assault and force their enemies to abandon the siege. They had to make this last attack a costly one for the Imperium and Mandalorians, and so it fell to the Alliance forces in orbit to thin the enemy ranks, destroying as many of their dropships and landers as possible. Their line might break in the end and the remainder of their forces scatter, but their defiance, steadfast courage, and sacrifice would be remembered throughout the ages... and if the Force was with them, perhaps they would give their brothers and sisters in arms fighting far below the advantage they needed to win.
