Bombardment of Bosph

In 3 BBY, the Imperial Navy of the Galactic Empire subjected the planet Bosph to repeated large-scale orbital bombardment, causing effectively irreparable damage and attempting genocide on the species that inhabited the world.

The survivors were kept under an ongoing quarantine and chose to dis-remember the Empire in response, a grave insult in their society that meant that the species refused to acknowledge that the Empire had ever existed. The historian Beaumont Kin wrote about the bombardment in his book The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire in 35 ABY.
