Glorious Victory: Neither Glorious nor Victorious

REBEL ALLIANCE CENTRAL COMMAND PUBLIC AFFAIRS DIVISION TRANSMISSION 7742-V FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Today, the Alliance to Restore the Republic achieved a stunning and historic victory at the Battle of Crevasse Ridge.

In a masterful display of multi-species cooperation and tactical brilliance, a combined expeditionary force — comprising Human, Togruta, Rodian, Twi'lek, and allied personnel — decisively neutralized a superior Imperial mechanized ground force that by all conventional military analysis should not have been stoppable.

The Imperial column — AT-AT and AT-ST walkers supported by heavy speeder contingents — represented the kind of overwhelming armored superiority that has kept countless worlds under the Emperor's boot. Today, that superiority was broken.

Through extraordinary ground-to-air coordination, Alliance T-47 airspeeders worked in seamless concert with our courageous ground forces to neutralize the Imperial advance completely. The column that marched into Crevasse Ridge this morning will not be marching anywhere again.

This victory demonstrates, once again, that the Empire's faith in machines and metal is no match for the Alliance's greatest weapon — the willing hearts of free beings from every corner of the galaxy, fighting side by side, bound not by conscription but by shared conviction.

Our brave fighters tonight celebrate a hard-won and glorious victory.

The Empire should take note.

Freedom cannot be stopped.

For the Alliance. For the Republic. For the Galaxy.
