Conquest of Yar Togna

Early in the reign of the Galactic Empire, the planet Yar Togna was brutally conquered and then occupied by the Empire. The incursion saw Imperial troops use rifle butts and clubs against civilians and their property. Due to the brutal attacks the population suffered from the Empire, which left the planet in a ruined state, and with the Empire moving to enslave the population, a mass exodus of its inhabitants occurred. The eggmates Edrio and Benthic escaped. Historian Beaumont Kin remembered the mass retreat of the Tognath as an act of cultural genocide carried out by the Empire.
