Palmo Plaza,[2] also known as the Ghorman Plaza,[3] was an open space in the city of Palmo on the planet Ghorman. In the middle of it stood the Monument to the Fallen, a memorial to the victims of the Tarkin Massacre.[1] In 2 BBY, the Ghorman Massacre occurred in the plaza when hundreds of Ghorman people assembled to protest the occupying Galactic Empire's tyranny. As the shooting began, Imperial stormtroopers fired on civilians, and members of the rebel Ghorman Front attempted to fight back. Hundreds were killed during the event, which the Empire orchestrated in order to arrange their takeover of the planet.[4]
