Monument to the Fallen

The Monument to the Fallen was a memorial constructed at the plaza in Palmo, the capital of the planet Ghorman, to commemorate the victims of the Tarkin Massacre. The victims were killed when Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin landed his cruiser on top of unarmed protestors who had swarmed a landing pad, resulting in the deaths of five-hundred Ghormans.

A peaceful protest involving hundreds of Ghormans, including members of the rebel Ghorman Front, was staged in the plaza when the Galactic Empire perpetrated another massacre of the civilians there.
