Refugee Massacre

Refugee Massacre was a file kept in the Post-Imperial Lothal Archives, a series of records about the Outer Rim planet Lothal after its liberation from the rule of the Galactic Empire. The file detailed the destruction of Tarkintown, a refugee camp on Lothal ordered destroyed by the Sith Lord Darth Vader during the Siege of Lothal in 4 BBY. A similar document, Reprisal Activities, was kept in the Imperial Archives, and between the two documents—containing notable differences in how they covered the event—no records remained on how many refugees were killed in Tarkintown's destruction. Historian Beaumont Kin referenced the file in his history book, The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire, in 35 ABY.
