Battle of Moora

The Battle of Moora was an engagement that occurred during the Dragoon Invasion of Roommenor in the small coastal port of Moora.

Seen as a vital location to bring in future supplies and reinforcements to the continent, the Alpha Clan placed it as one of the initial objectives of the invasion. Lightly defended by only a token force of Queens Guard it was assumed the town would fall within a matter of hours.

Deployed via thopter into Moora the Dragoons caught the defenders completely by surprise. Utilizing their air transport as gunships the Alpha Clan forces quickly shattered through the opposition and closed in on the port. Rallied by the plight of the beleaguered Queens Guard, students from the local military college rushed to assist, some aiding the wounded while others picked up arms against the Dragoons. A few even managed to shoot down one of the Alpha Clan thopters.

While this influx of youthful assistance did manage to prolong the battle for another day it isn't long before it becomes clear that further resistance will only see more students and civilians killed. Taking whoever is willing Captain Jake Talon flees the town intent on starting a guerrilla war against the invading Dragoons.

By afternoon of 5 April, Moora is declared captured.

The battle is most often remembered as a time that students raised arms to defend Roommenor, a feat that becomes a further rallying cry for the anti-Dragoon insurgency. Those cadets killed are typically refereed to as martyrs.
