Battle of Bandomeer

"The miners are lightly armed, barely a threat."

- Darh Vader

The Battle of Bandomeer occured between Imperial forces and the Ionite miners of Bandomeer in 19 BBY.

History
Approximately four months after the Declaration of a New Order the Ionite miners of Bandomeer refused to honor their contracts with Galactic Empire. In order to teach them to treat the new government with respect, Emperor Palpatine ordered his apprentice, Darth Vader, to deal with the local resistance. The Imperial Army quickly overwhelmed lightly armed miners and established control over the planet. However, despite the success of the mission, Darth Vader continued to doubt if the Emperor send him to Bandomeer to simply get him out of the way.
