Carigan Defense
this ground-based defensive measure was named for Governor Carigan, of the planet Bryx. Carigan managed to keep the early Imperial armed forces at bay when they tried to subjugate the planet. He set up a system of ground-based guns and submersible fighters to combat the Empire. His defensive tactic were largely effective, although he eventually was overwhelmed by the Empire. Despite its success, the Carigan Defense was rarely used by other planets, as it requried a great deal of time and equipment to prepare.
