Nacronis
Canon Linked from 32 articles
Nacronis was a marshland planet in the Mid Rim and New Territories with a unique meteorology that caused it to be ravaged by siltstorms. The planet's population, which included humans, inhabited ancient citadels. In 4 ABY, the TIE fighter pilots of the Galactic Empire's 204th Imperial Fighter Wing were ordered to increase the severity of the planet's storms with explosives as part of Operation: Cinder. The attack led to the devastation of the planet and the deaths of its inhabitants.
In the genocide's aftermath, Major Soran Keize of the 204th convinced Imperial pilot Yrica Quell to desert the Empire; Quell joined the fledgling New Republic, although with a partially falsified story of her defection. While the truth about Nacronis was eventually revealed, Quell was not persecuted after the fall of the Empire, and she was eventually brought into contact with a survivor of the genocide.
