Saipan was important to the JAPANESE PEOPLE AND MILITARY and the islands of the Marianas because it was a central communication installation for the Japanese to reach Japan. If they lost Saipan they would lose this capability and conducting war without adequate communication could mean the Japanese would lose the war.
