Dimok (people)

"Your objective is to save as much of the Ripoblus convoy as possible. This will be accomplished by destroying enough of the attacking Dimoks to force the rest to withdraw. The survivors will report back to their leaders. Hopefully, their leaders will quickly realize the futility of further armed struggle."

―Imperial briefing officer^[2]

The Dimoks, colloquially known as the Dims,^[3] were a cultural group of the Sepan species native to Dimok,^[1] one of the two primary worlds of the Sepan system.^[4]

The Dimoks were involved with the people of Ripoblus in the Sepan Civil War, a conflict which lasted intermittently for centuries.^[5]^[2]^[6]^[3]

History

The Dimoks were at war with their neighbors, the Ripoblus, for decades as of 22 BBY^[5] and up until the Galactic Empire arrived in the Sepan system in 3 ABY.^[2] The Dimoks supported the Empire before they were betrayed and attacked by the invaders. At this point, the Dimoks and the Ripoblus made peace with each other in an attempt to drive out the Empire. However, this temporary alliance failed, as the Dimoks and the Ripoblus did not have the military might to oppose the Empire.^[2] Admiral Harkov and Maarek Stele put down the Sepan forces,^[2] effectively ending the Sepan Civil War for several decades.^[6]

Old arguments started up again in 40 ABY, triggering a new war in the Sepan system. This time, though, it was the Galactic Alliance who worked to stop the fighting as Imperial control in the galaxy had drastically shrunk.^[6] The war between the Dimoks and their rivals was still ongoing as of 137 ABY.^[3]
