Battle of Ord Torrenze
the Old Republic was involved in this struggle, which was brought on when an invading force blockaded the planet of Ord Torrenze. The inhabitants of the planet were unable to fight back, and the invaders mercilessly pummeled the planet's surface with turbolaser fire. In an amazing action of bravery and skill, the crew of the corvette Freedom's Messenger led an Old Republic assault team into the blockade, all guns firing in an effort to clear an evacuation route for the unarmed transports stranded on Ord Torrenze and laden with refugees. Although the Freedom's Messenger suffered a power core breach and was left for dead, its efforts saved the lives of millions of beings.
