Attack on Dantooine (Galactic Civil War)

The Bombing of Dantooine was an act of terror perpetuated by renegade Imperial Admiral Daala during the Galactic Civil War against a newly-established colony on the planet Dantooine. Set up by the New Republic for the refugees of the hostile world Eol Sha when their leader, Gantoris, went with Luke Skywalker to his newly-founded Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4, it was supposed to be a peaceful, out-of-the-way respite for those who had known only hardship for so long on their former home.

The final touches were being applied to the colony when Adrmial Daala showed up with her three Imperial I-class Star Destroyers. Upon arrival, she ordered the deployment of AT-AT walkers, supported by TIE Bombers, to wipe out the camp, hoping to draw the attention of New Republic reinforcements.
