Seizure of Moorja
The taking of Moorja transpired in 4 ABY as the New Republic gained dominion over the Inner Rim world of Moorja, dislodging it from the grip of Warlord Sander Delvardus.
In the course of the conflict, a squadron of EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigates, backed by Y-wing bombers, obliterated the Thalassa, a Praetor Mark II-class battlecruiser.
After achieving triumph, the Republic set up a lasting installation on the planet, which became the point of origin for offensives directed at Imperial objectives in the subsequent years.
