Introduction
-------------
The Expanded Universe has held a special place in many of our hearts and minds, me especially. One of my
favorite book series was the X-Wing Series by Michael A Stackpole and Aaron Allison. It was these stories
that motivated me to pick up X-Wing Alliance back in the early 2000's. Here I set out to make a series
of 4 battles retelling the battles and story of the initial four books of the X-Wing series.

This battle is based upon the story laid out in the book X-Wing: The Bacta War by Michael A Stackpole. The
events of the book have necessarily changed due to the Emperor’s Hammer's involvement during the previous
three books, see XWA-TC 70, XWA-TC 71, and XWA-TC 72.


From our first Battle with them, Rogue Squadron's attempt to take Borleias to be a staging point for their
attack on Coruscant failed due to the TIE Corps timely intervention. And things were looking like they would
continue with the Emperor's Hammer's, and by extension the Empires, continued dominance over the New Republic.

But the New Republic deceived the Empire's Intelligence Division and our forces were drawn into two feint
attacks, allowing the bulk of the New Republic's forces to attack and capture Coruscant. We were rightly
humbled by this turn of events and searched for ways to support Isard's Empire in its effort to topple
the New Republic and retake Coruscant.

We settled upon interdicting the flow of many large bacta shipments to Coruscant. Both for our use and to deny
them from the desperate New Republic. At the same time, we came into repeated conflicts with the forces of
Warlord Zsinj, culminating with his attack on our staging ground and our quick punitive reprisal. TIE Corps
Command has declared that we are at war with Warlord Zsinj and we are making plans for his destruction. Soon
after Zsinj's attack on us we received calls for aid from Director Ysanne Isard and when we arrived at Coruscant
we found her SSD Lusankya fighting to escape the planet and the New Republic's forces. We came to her aid and
traveled with her to the Polith System and the planet of Thyferra, the source of almost all bacta in the galaxy.
Her allies on the planet had already led a coup and captured the planet's government, installing Isard as the
planet's leader. We are now aiding Isard in the Polith System per our mission to bring about the destruction of
the New Republic.
