Fifth Alsakan Conflict

Some old interior illustrations from Star Wars: Essential Guide to Warfare depicting events and stories from the Star Wars Expanded Universe timeline (now called Legends).

Admiral Hirken defends the Northern Dependencies during the Fifth Alsakan Conflict. This is one of a series of clashes between the planets Coruscant and Alsakan over the leadership of the Republic that took place over the span of 140 centuries almost 17,000 years BBY(before the Battle of Yavin). Star Wars starships look rather different back in those days when shield technology was rudimentary and instead rely on large reflective armor as their main defense.
