Dis-remembering

Dis-remembering was an act used as a grave insult within the society of the species that lived on the planet Bosph. In 3 BBY, the Imperial Navy of the Galactic Empire bombarded Bosph and caused effectively irreparable damage while attempting to commit an act of genocide on the species, enacting an ongoing quarantine on those that survived. In response, the species dis-remembered the Galactic Empire, refusing to acknowledge that the state had ever existed. In 35 ABY, the historian Beaumont Kin encouraged readers in his book The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire to seek out first hand accounts from the victims of the Empire's attrocities, but noted as an exception the inhabitants of Bosph, stating that their purposeful choice to dis-remember those who had wronged them should be respected.
