Ettam massacre

The Ettam Massacre took place in Ettam, a small town on the surface of Ralltiir.

History
The Ettam Massacre was perpetrated by Imperial Army Commander Akobi, who, while Rebel insurgents blocked his communications, ordered an attack on what he thought to be a Rebel ammunition depot. Instead, his bombers, following the coordinates he gave them, destroyed a medcenter packed with innocent civilians. The incident was downplayed by the Empire, and Akobi was made a hero. The massacre occured four days before the battle of Yavin 4 and the destruction of the Death Star.
