- "The Imperial 212th Attack Battalion led by the brave General Kahdah has successfully put down a Wookiee revolt on the planet of Kashyyyk."
- ―Alton Kastle
General Kahdah[2] was an officer of the Galactic Empire that served within its armed forces. During the Imperial Era, the planet Kashyyyk, located in the Mid Rim's[1] Mytaranor sector,[3] was under Imperial occupation[4] following a pacification campaign by the 212th Attack Battalion that resulted in the native Wookiees being enslaved.[5] Eventually, a Wookiee revolt took place and General Kahdah led the 212th Attack Battalion in putting down the rebellion. Kahdah and the 212th's efforts were reported on by HoloNet News reporter[1] and Imperial Press Corps member[6] Alton Kastle,[1] who was based on the Outer Rim planet Lothal.[7]
