Derra IV

Derra IV was a minor planet, far from the Galactic Core, that was rumored to have a strong Rebel presence. It was the site of a crushing ambush in which Imperial forces destroyed a vital Rebel convoy and its escorts on their way to Hoth, just days before that battle. The ambush was lead by (and credit claimed by) Darth Vader but masterminded by Grand Admiral Thrawn.

As of 1 BBY, its governor was Dol Donar II.

In 16 ABY, a Republic Security officer held eleven Imperial corpses still in their uniforms in cryotanks in a hangar on the planet. His plans were to wait until his son was old enough to be told what happened to his mother, and then give him any weapon to take revenge on them with.
