- "They were poor and without hope. Potential Rebel scum waiting to turn against the Empire. We were lucky to strike at them before they made a move against the colony."
- ―Korvellen
Sarko VI was a planet in the Venzeiia sector of the Expansion Region.
Description
During the Galactic Civil War, Sarko VI was under the control of the Galactic Empire and home to a colony. Some colonists lived in poverty and survived in ramshackle shelters and makeshift homes on the outskirts of the main settlement.[3]
History
Between 0 ABY and 3 ABY, Imperial troops slaughtered the residents of a squatter camp on the outskirts of the colony. The camp was believed to have a Rebel cell, because of false information provided by an informant.[3]
Captain Korvellen, in charge of the operation, later stated that he believed his actions were justifiable, as the squatters were impoverished and desperate, and thus potential recruits for the Rebellion.[3]
