Blockade of Chandrila


The blockade was first mentioned in in Recon & Report: The Journey to Coruscant. It was later revealed in The Essential Guide to Warfare that the invasion had actually been planned and almost executed concurrently to the Battle of Endor alongside a similar invasion at Mon Calamari. According to author Jason Fry in his end notes for the book, this development was included to rectify the debate as to whether the Empire used all of its forces or a minimum amount of its forces during the battle, and implied that the measure was a further display of Palpatine's overconfidence regarding the upcoming battle at Endor.
