Qlothos

Qlothos was an Inner Rim planet with a cloudy atmosphere. By 3 ABY, the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer Interrogator detected unusual transmissions from the nearby Qlothos that resembled those made by the Rebel Alliance. Acting on the suspicion that the signals indicated the presence of a Rebel garrison, Senior Lieutenant Leeds ordered a TIE bomber strike on the planet. However, one of the bombers' missiles veered off target and destroyed a residential community, causing the deaths of nearly sixty Galactic Empire citizens, including a prominent Kuat Drive Yards engineer. The Star Destroyer's Captain Jovan Vharing, who had been asleep when the attack was carried out, was subsequently executed for Leeds' blunder.
