Battle of Cercador Valley

The Battle of Cercador Valley was a prominent battle fought between the Grand Army of the Protectorate and the Satarian Militia during the Galactic War in Cercador Valley, on the planet Satarius. It was the first battle to end with a frontier planet's surrender to the Protectorate.

The battle lasted seven weeks, with dug-in planetary forces matched up against the superior numbers and technology of the Protectorate, before the Outland Defense Front officially abandoned the planet to the Protectorate. Several commanding officers were killed in combat leaving Malma Dunne to lead 2000 troops. In the last week, while The Alliance and Independent High Council were discussing peace talks 400 troops went down to 150. Most decimated was the 57th Overlanders which only had 2 survivors from the original platoon. The Alliance was victorious due to their previously mentioned numbers and technology, as well as a brilliant deep-flank strategy by General Richard Wilkins.
