The Imperial Blitzkrieg is a term used to describe the various fast- and hard-hitting military campaigns orchestrated by Grand Admiral Danik Kreldin in 14 ABY, beginning with the Dacan Pandemic and culminating in the Sixth Battle of Coruscant. The official codename for the entire project, used by Imperial High Command, was Operation Shi'yayc. The Blitzkrieg was a dazzling success for the fledging Galactic Empire, reversing its misfortunes after the Imperial Civil War and the War of the Throne, and setting it on the threshold of utterly conquering the New Republic.
