Blockade

A blockade was when a military or other entity stationed a fleet in orbit around a planet in order to prevent the coming and going of starships. Blockades were often used as alternatives to battle in order to subjugate a planet or force their government to surrender, as shown when the Trade Federation blockaded Aquolene as a response to the Galactic Republic's taxation of trade routes.
