The Moff had ordered the Imperial Navy to enter the Sarapin and "liberate" the planet and system from the Coalition. It had once been a neutral planet, but before the war was over the Coalition decided to take it before the Galactic Empire controlled all of the trade lanes. Sarapin being the industrial heart of the region, had a great amount of influence, not in it's population but in it's goods. Control over this system really was a great achievement in controlling the region, especially the economy. Things hadn't been settled for quiet some time, and now the Moff had a reason to expand his influence outside of Corellia. With the Empire's approval, his fleet had formed with several Star Destroyers to take the area by force if necessary. The only resistance they were expecting was some stations positioned around the system and mining facilities on the planet's surface.
