A brilliant fire
An invasion of unbelievable magnitude has shaken the Core and despite the Alliance's pyrrhic victory at Coruscant, the situation is far from under control. The Ecumenopolis is left in ruin, with entire districts torn apart and every structure of significance on the surface damaged or entirely destroyed. Even below the surface, throughout the thousands of levels that span across the planet, intense infernos continue to ravage homes, factories, and entire city blocks once populated by thousands.
In response, the Galactic Alliance has turned its focus from fighting to recovery efforts. Civilians caught in the attack are being relocated, tended to, and rescued from collapsed infrastructure. Survivors of the invading Empire are being searched for as well, to be held captive and interrogated by the SIA, if not outright killed in aftermath battles. But not just the Alliance is making moves following the invasion.
The Empire's fleet is in retreat with Alliance ships on their tail, hoping to regroup with other forces and determine its casualties and next course of action. Deeper within Empire territory itself, political and military leaders come together for the same purpose.
The future is in motion, as both sides plan their next moves.
