"The arrival of the Mon Calamari city-ships was a shocking (and perhaps, given our limited effectiveness against the occupation of Mon Cala, undeserved) boon, emphasizing the significance of winning the hearts of the galaxy's civilians above all else."

―Mon Mothma, in "Short Notes on the History of the Rebel Alliance Navy"

The occupation of Mon Cala was the Galactic Empire's occupation of the planet Mon Cala, which began after the invasion of Mon Cala, after Mon Calamari King Lee-Char incited a war on Mon Cala. During the occupation, Ardo Barodai worked as a bartender where he eavesdropped on Imperial officers and passed on intelligence to the rebellion. During the occupation, Darth Vader personally ordered the torture and imprisonment of Mon Calamari and Quarren, a fact General Nossor Ri brought up to Vader's daughter Leia Organa, when she tried to appeal to King Ech-Char for Mon Cala to provide ships to the Resistance in 34 ABY.

The occupation was thwarted when the Mon Calamari and Quarren joined together and destroyed the Imperial garrison.
