Western Reaches pacification operations

"As Governor Tarkin can attest, our navy was still chasing Separatist holdouts as late as a year ago."

- Vice Admiral Dodd Rancit Following the end of the Clone Wars, the Galactic Empire launched pacification operations against the holdouts of the Confederacy of Independent Systems in the Western Reaches. A large amount of these holdouts were made up of starships crewed by organic beings instead of droids.

After the controversy surrounding the Antar Atrocity, Emperor Sheev Palpatine assigned Moff Wilhuff Tarkin to these operations, far removed from the media spotlight. He would continue to serve in this role until four years after the Proclamation of the New Order, when he was reassigned to Sentinel Base. Because of this apparently-insignificant posting, rumors spread that it was due to a failure in commanding one of these operations, although this was not the case.
