Defense of Alderaan

During the Eternal Empire's conquest of the galaxy, the Galactic Republic's navy attempted to defend the Republic planet of Alderaan from the Eternal Fleet. However, the Republic had planned for a standard naval assault and was unprepared for the ferocity of the Eternal Fleet. The hundreds of Eternal Fleet warships that arrived enacted a ferocious attack on the Republic forces. The Republic was able to shoot down at least one warship, but thanks to the coordinated network of GEMINI droid captains, the fleet quickly closed the gap. On Admiral Dannis Veriga's orders, the remainder of the Republic fleet retreated.
