The Republic's offensive on Virujansi was a military engagement that occurred in 17,018 BBY on the Inner Rim planet of Virujansi. This event marked one of the initial battles within the Alsakan Conflicts, a series of wars spanning fourteen millennia. These conflicts revolved around the struggle for political dominance of the Galactic Republic between the world that served as its capital, Coruscant, and the planet Alsakan, along with their respective allies. Among these allies were the Grand Companies, Coruscant-supported trading entities situated along the hyperlane referred to as the Spin.
The Coruscant-aligned Republic forces' offensive on Virujansi, a region under the Grand Companies' control and located on a contested or neutral hyperspace route, was a component of the first Alsakan Conflict, which commenced around that year. Six years afterward, Alsakani forces liberated the planet, and the First Conflict continued for an additional three centuries.
The Republic's Virujansi offensive was first presented in the 2012 reference work, The Essential Guide to Warfare, penned by Jason Fry and Paul R. Urquhart.
