Republic Invasion of Esperia

The Republic Invasion of Esperia is the full-scale invasion by forces of the United Republic led by the Twintail general Twoearle of the Elementalers' capital world of Esperia during the First Ultimeguil War.

The objective of the Republic invasion is to oust the anti-Republic Elementaler Separatist Alliance, a separatist movement founded by Greyworth Ciel Mais, a long-time rival of Twoearle, and Ellis Fahrengart of Esperia which composed of Elementalers from various worlds that opted to force Republic influence out of their worlds, as a result of long-time competition between Twintails and Elementalers for power and resources. The conflict soon escalated when the separatists welcomed the aid of Ultimeguil, and agreed to form a united front against the Twintail-led Republic forces.

This is also the first time Clone commandos were ever deployed, where they are tasked by Admiral Koth to assassinate key separatist leaders.

Background
Sometime prior to the era of this conflict, there was an incident where rogue Mandalorian mercenaries (backed by Republic gunships) attacked in the middle of a Blade Dance, which serves as one of the long-standing factors contributing to the general conflict between the Twintail and Elementaler civilizations.
