Mission to Bothawui

The Mission to Bothawui was a battle during the Galactic Civil War, taking place simultaneously with the Battle of Polis Massa.

After learning that Bothan spies supplied Kalast with the information he supplied the Rebellion with about the Death Star, Palpatine declared to punish the Bothans for their doing. Upon landing on Bothawui, Bothan officers greeted the emperor, and were all slaughtered by the Dark Lord's force-lightning. The Sith and his Royal Guard unit proceeded into the city, brainwashed a number of Bothans with Force corrupt, and proceeded to destroy Bothan territory. In the end, all the corrupted Bothans were turned on and killed. A bothan, fearing for his life, told Palpatine that the Death Star plans were going to be beamed to the Tantive IV. Palpatine regrouped with Darth Vader, who learned the same information during the raid on Polis Massa. Vader gathered his forces and moved the fleet to Tatooine.
