The Strontium Raid was a confrontation that took place in 15,480 BBY at the Mid Rim[1] planet[2] Abhean. The planet was situated along the portion of the super-hyperroute known as the Perlemian Trade Route that was under the control of Coruscant, the capital world of the Galactic Republic.[1]
The Strontium Raid was a late engagement of the Second Alsakan Conflict, a war that had commenced approximately six centuries earlier, lasted for another eighty years, and was one of a fourteen-millennia-long series of wars over political control of the Republic between Coruscant, the planet Alsakan, and their respective allies.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
A sample of pure real-world strontium
The Strontium Raid was introduced in the 2012 reference book The Essential Guide to Warfare, authored by Jason Fry and Paul R. Urquhart.[1] In the real world, strontium is a chemical element and metal. Its compounds are used in the manufacture of ferrite magnets as well as in fireworks, flares, and tracer ammunition, and the radioactive isotope strontium-90 has been used as a power source in radioisotope thermoelectric generators.[3]
