Battle of Kashyyyk (19 BBY)
Canon Linked from 52 articles
The Battle of Kashyyyk, also known as the subjugation of Kashyyyk, was the first Imperial invasion of the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk in the year 19 BBY as part of the Empire's Enslavement of Kashyyyk campaign. It occurred after the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader tracked a group of surviving Jedi to the planet. It was during this crisis that Vader made a deal with Moff Tarkin to capture Wookiees as slave labor to help build the Death Star. The battle itself was also seen as an early, but by no means the last, demonstration to the galaxy of how the Galactic Empire would respond to internal dissent.
