History
Edit
The conflicts were mainly fought in the Expansion Region over the rights of corporations to sponsor colonization and settlement. The first was in 17,000 BBY and the last was 3,017 BBY.[1].
During the conflicts, numerous locations and items were destroyed. One such was Belgoth's Beacon, a hyperspace beacon and satellite dating from around 25,100 BBY. This artifact was destroyed in the Second Alsakan Conflict. The Alsakan Mosaics were also destroyed during the Third Alsakan Conflict.[1] The Alsakan battle cruisers developed during the final conflict went on to inspire the Republic Invincible-class Dreadnaught Heavy Cruiser.[source?]
With the end of the seventeenth and final conflict 3,017 BBY, Coruscant had achieved a Pyrrhic victory as Alsakan had been unable to assert its dominance over the long-standing galactic capital. The true victor was judged to be Corellia, which expanded its galactic influence by remaining neutral in the conflicts.[1]
