Mimban campaign

"Hey Beckett! You said we were here to pull a quick job!''" "Yeah?" "''Well this ain't a quick job, it's a war!"

- Rio Durant and Tobias Beckett during a firefight with the Mimbanese

The Mimban campaign, also known as the battle on Mimban, was an Imperial military operation that took place in 10 BBY on the swamp planet Mimban in an effort to secure the planet’s vital resources while establishing a regime loyal to the Empire. The 224th Imperial Armored Division engaged the Mimbanese Liberation Army, with the latter eager to drive the Imperials from their home world at all costs. The campaign saw the deployment of numerous Imperial swamp troopers and wet-weather gear stormtroopers, with the Imperial forces making use of trench warfare against the Mimbanese.

History
"It's their planet; we're the hostiles"

- Han Solo, to Lieutenant Bolandin

The Mimbanese had previously repelled Confederate forces during the Clone Wars with aid from the benevolent Galactic Republic, though they later came into conflict with its successor state, the Galactic Empire. As the former democracy devolved into a fascist dictatorship, The Imperial war machine returned to the once-allied planet as conquerors, seeking to procure the abundant natural resources that existed on the swampy world. The initial invasion consisted of Imperial commanders throwing their subordinates at the enemy lines, hoping to secure what little ground they could, no matter the casualties.

Behind the scenes
The Mimban campaign was first seen in the first TV Spot seen during Super Bowl LII for Solo: A Star Wars Story on February 4, 2018.
