Meastrinnar

Meastrinnar was an Inner Rim planet. During the Galactic Civil War, it rebelled against the Galactic Empire, leading to an Imperial pacification campaign in the city Vondrel. The Empire eventually discovered a Rebel Alliance intelligence cell in Vondrel's sister city Vondrol; however, due to a communications error, a stormtrooper unit under the command of Vin Northal stormed a building in Vondrel instead.

After Northal's troopers had killed dozens of supposed Rebels, the officer belatedly realized that they were, in fact, in an orphanage and that their victims had been sleeping children. Although the Empire subsequently covered up the true nature of the massacre, the conflicted Northal himself eventually defected to the Alliance. Years later, Meastrinnar was a part of the New Republic.
