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.
The Strontium Raid was introduced in the 2012 reference book The Essential Guide to Warfare, authored by Jason Fry and Paul R. Urquhart. 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.
