The Battle of Bothawui

BTC 18 – Nearly a decade after the return of the Sith Empire and the start of the Great War, the Empire had scored dozens of victories, establishing its dominance in the Outer Rim. As the Sith turned their forces toward the Mid Rim, however, the Republic prepared a bold surprise. When an Imperial squadron arrived to seize control of Bothawui, the entire Republic fleet was waiting. The fleet’s victory was celebrated across the galaxy, but the truly inspiring moment was yet to come. As the Republic fleet dispersed to defend other battlefronts, only a small force remained behind to face the Empire’s retribution. The Jedi and Republic troopers on Bothawui never had a chance of surviving the Imperial attack, but their courage and selflessness in the face of impossible odds won a victory far greater than that from any single battle. The heroic stand on Bothawui restored hope across the galaxy, and rallied the Republic’s forces to fight with renewed courage.

using pieces from out own history just makes it in some people's mind more understandable to relate to i suppose and if it would really be real it would happen just like it did in some of our great history and that just's makes it seem more beleavable in some minds and makes the story more interesting but that's just me but u will always get the few that just have to go rip off bla bla bla bla well its history it's there to remind us to bring out great stories of the past or make a reference to it which is done in most fictonal stories to keep the story more relateable like it could actually happen if it were real, or am i wrong?

Great story but it's really anoying that the republic armor looks exactly the same as Darth Sidious's reign imperial armor, although this is a long time from that. They just seem to recycle the battle armors and imperial officers having that space-nazi suit

Wow, the Holorecords are always amazing! :D
And to all who whines about stealing from the ***** movie "300" (or the real battle that 300 was about): Just be quiet. I don't mind whining when it's about constructive critic, but when someone is complaining about stealing from 300 it has gone to far.

This is Star Wars. There were a planetary shield. There were Republic soldiers. There were Sith soldiers. There were Jedi. And there were the Force.

Big difference.

Keep these awesome Holorecords coming. If it's something that never disappoints me, it's the Holorecords.

Even a grand moff of the Sith Empire cannot comprehend the dedication and sacrifice of the Jedi and the Republic Troopers.
