"The planet Bosph was subjected to repeated large-scale orbital bombardments from the Imperial fleet in 3 BBY. The damage to their world is effectively irreparable and the survivors were kept under a form of ongoing quarantine."
―Beaumont Kin, The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire[1]

In 3 BBY, the Imperial Navy of the Galactic Empire subjected the planet Bosph to repeated large-scale orbital bombardment, causing effectively irreparable damage and attempting genocide on the species that inhabited the world.[1]

The survivors were kept under an ongoing quarantine and chose to dis-remember the Empire in response, a grave insult in their society that meant that the species refused to acknowledge that the Empire had ever existed. The historian Beaumont Kin wrote about the bombardment in[1] his[2] book The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire[1] in 35 ABY.[3]

Behind the scenes

In the current Star Wars canon, the bombardment of Bosph was mentioned in the 2024 reference book Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire, which was written by Dr. Chris Kempshall.[1] The bombardment originated in the Star Wars Legends continuity, where it was first mentioned in "Smugglers of the Outer Rim,"an article written by Doug Shuler and published in the fifth issue of the Star Wars Adventure Journal in February 1995.[4]

As Star Wars: Timelines dates the end of the war to 5 ABY and the Battle of Exegol to 35 ABY, the in-universe The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire must have been published in 35 ABY.
