A massacre took place in Ettam, a small town on the planet Ralltiir, during the Galactic Empire rule of the world.
History
The massacre was one of many violent events on Ralltiir, during the conflict between the Galactic Empire and the local rebel cells. It was perpetrated by Imperial Army Commander Akobi, who, while Alliance to Restore the Republic fighters blocked his communications, ordered an attack on what he thought to be a rebel ammunition depot.[1]
Instead, his bombers, following the coordinates he gave them, destroyed a medcenter packed with innocent civilians. The incident was downplayed by the Galactic Empire, and Akobi was made a hero. The massacre occurred a few days before the Battle of Yavin and the destruction of the first Death Star.[1]
