Battle for Manpha Concludes with Alliance Victory
SHANPAN, MANPHA—Despite fierce resistance from the Nagai occupying force, and an unexpected intervention by an Imperial Star Destroyer, the Third Alliance Battle Fleet managed to retake Manpha, the homeworld of the Shawda Ubb species.
The Nagai suffered nearly fourteen thousand casualties during the week of combat, compared to nine thousand for the Alliance forces. One Imperial Star Destroyer, apparently ordered to the Seitia sector by Director of Imperial Intelligence Ysanne Isard, was destroyed when it interposed itself between the Third Battle Fleet and the Nagai task force in orbit of the world. The Imperial vessel was apparently attempting to gauge the relative strengths of the two fleets when it was hit by turbolaser fire and exploded.
Prime Minister Hipotwalanhopopwalat Tivtotolon, just an hour removed from the prisoner camp into which he had been placed by the Nagai, praised the perseverance and courage of the Alliance liberators. “My people will not forget the great service rendered by the Alliance of Free Planets,” he said through a translator droid. “The horrors visited upon so many of us by the Nagai were unforgivable. We are prepared to join the Alliance fleet in this most righteous fight.”
