"There're some refugee colonies of Gholondreine-β natives on the surrounding system worlds, but they won't be coming back to their homeworld for a long time. Palpatine's seen to that."

―Boba Fett, to Bossk^[3]

The Desiccation of Gholondreine-β, also known as the Gholondreine Desiccation, occurred in 10 BBY. During the first years of the Imperial Period, the Gholondreine scholars and philosophers published quietly urgent critiques of the Galactic Empire. As they persisted, Emperor Palpatine decided to make an example of Gholondreine-β. The planet's oceans were drained to the last molecule and taken by a fleet of massive Imperial freighters to an orbital catalysis plant near Coruscant. The dead world was seeded with Ithorian crawlers designed to exude a long-lasting biotoxin into the soil. Gholondreine-β was eventually deserted by its inhabitants and completely abandoned. The desiccation served as a lesson for the neighboring worlds in the sector.
