Siege of Lasan

Canon Legends version → Linked from 59 articles

The Siege of Lasan, also known as the Fall of Lasan, the cleansing of Lasan, or the Lasan genocide, was an Imperial invasion orchestrated by Alexsandr Kallus that saw the near-extinction of the Lasat species. During the early years of the Empire, the Imperial Military brutally suppressed an uprising on the Lasat homeworld of Lasan. The conflict led to the near-extinction of the Lasat people and caused the Imperial Senate to ban T-7 ion disruptor rifles. Some Lasat survived, like Garazeb Orrelios, who later joined the rebellion, while others like Gron and Chava resettled on the mystical Lasat refuge of Lira San.
