The Amma protest was a civil demonstration by the population of the city of Amma on the planet Bacrana. Protesting against Imperial atrocities, the demonstrators peacefully marched on Central Sector Square. The protestors were met by a line of Imperial stormtroopers backed by All Terrain Scout Transports who opened fire after the assembled masses refused to disperse.[1]
Behind the scenes
The Amma protest was first mentioned in the 1995 RPG sourcebook Flashpoint! Brak Sector and served as historical background for several characters. The book placed the event one year prior to its main story, which was set some weeks after the Battle of Yavin,[1] thus in 1 BBY.[2] The article "Galaxywide NewsNets" from Star Wars Adventure Journal 7 later placed the Amma protest on 36:6:7 GrS (in 1 ABY), incorrectly positioning the protest after Flashpoint! Brak Sector's main story.[4]
