Arrests on Zeitooine

Seven months after the Battle of Yavin, Imperial stormtroopers on Zeitooine arrested a local family after the parents persistently violated a ban on independent publications. The stormtroopers forcibly dragged the family out of their home. When the mother pleaded for the stormtrooper captain not to imprison her daughters as well, the captain slammed his blaster rifle into her face while another trooper cuffed her. The incident was witnessed by Thane Kyrell, a disillusioned former TIE fighter pilot who had deserted the Empire.
