Devastation of Rion

"Every Rebel on your planet must be placed in Imperial custody at once&hellip; or I will use the Volz Ion Ring to reduce your world to dead rock!"

- Captain Bzorn, to the people of Rion

The devastation of Rion was a battle of the Galactic Civil War.

The devastation
"The most terrible thing happened! A weird ring-shaped ship demanded that every Rebel on Rion be arrested! When we refused, that dreadful ship did this to our climate! All of our food is frozen! People are starving&mdash;!"

- Tana, to Han Solo

During the Galactic Civil War, Rion was used as a base by the Rebel Alliance. In 0 ABY, Captain Bzorn traveled to Rion aboard the Ionic Ring and demanded that all Rebels on the planet be arrested. When the people of Rion refused, the Galactic Empire shattered the environment of the planet, transforming it into a frozen wasteland. As a result, all the food on Rion was frozen and people began dying of starvation.
