Carida

"Vice Admiral Rancit is convinced that the dissidents intend to attack the Imperial academy at Carida, martyring themselves in the process."

- Darth Vader informs Wilhuff Tarkin of Rancit's plan

Cardia was a planet where the Galactic Empire had an Imperial academy and Imperial Navy Deepdock Facility Two. After Moff Wilhuff Tarkin's personal corvette Carrion Spike was stolen as part of a scheme by Berch Teller's rebel cell and Imperial Vice Admiral Rancit, the rebels planned to attack the Imperial facilities on Carida. Hoping to betray his rebel allies and claim glory amongst the Empire, Rancit gathered a fleet at Cardia to wait for the Spike's arrival. Suspecting that the Vice-Admiral would betray them, the cell sent the corvette to Cardia on auto-pilot and escaped. After Rancit realised his plan had failed, the Sith Lord Darth Vader arrived on Rancit's Secutor-class Star Destroyer Conquest and revealed the Vice-Admirals treachery had been discovered, ordering that Rancit be ejected in a escape pod and then obliterated in space above Carida.
