Tcg09.jpg
Conflict Galactic Civil War
Date Y10D289-D303
Place Basho
Outcome Victory for the Galactic Empire
"When the Galactic Empire responded a cheer rose up amongst us. With the Empire on our side we could hold onto our planet, and we could make sure that Keer would touch it never again."
— Sho'tane[1]


The Conflict on Basho, also known as the Liberation of Basho, took place in the time around of the Conflict on Agrilat and the Conflict on Iqobal during the Galactic Civil War.

Background

"We were just civilians with no real combat training. But we had the rage and determination to pull through. It may have been luck, or the laxness of the Keer security forces, but when we finally broke through."
— Sho'tane[1]


The conflict involved the population of Basho who, with the extensive support of the Imperial Military,[2] rebelled against the Rebel Alliance and its subsidary Keer Mining, who had forced the citizens of Basho into working under harsh conditions (with evidence of infringement of basic sentient rights) in the mining camps.[1]

The battle

Early engagement

The Basho resistance leader, Sho'tane, organized a militia and defeated the Rebel garrison defending the communications center, immediately sending a cry for help to the Imperial military. It was received by the Fourth Imperial Fleet, commanded by then-Commander Arya Downing, who had been patrolling the Rhinnal System, and an operation, code-named "Mad Hatter", was quickly arranged.[1]

Imperial back-up

"It was like they came out of nowhere! One moment we declared independence and were preparing for the assault of what was left of Keer's regrouped security forces. We were spent, low on ammo and about to be out-manoeuvred - but next we saw landers and haulers descending from the atmosphere!"
— Jirus Shane[1]


The Fourth Imperial Fleet and First Imperial Legion, commanded by then-Captain Inara Imperium and then-Major General Bacara Kex, who had been within the sector in the Carida System, were the first responders,[1] with support from the Darpa Sector Regional Government and First Imperial Fleet, commanded by then-Captain Kato Forn, arriving soon afterward.[2] Keer Mining's forces were quickly overwhelmed and, following negotiations between Basho's governor and Darpa Sector's Moff Ralic Feali, Basho became an official Imperial planet with its citizens gaining all the rights and protection of the Galactic Empire.

Aftermath

A ceremony was held by the Basho planetary government in honour of the Imperials who supported them in their uprising, including all the military commanders and regional government leaders as well as Vizier of Improvements Jacen Varos and Minister of Industry Guinar Ndengin.[1] The rebuilding of Basho began soon after the end of the battle and continued for many months. Cities began to rise under isolated eco-domes, jobs began to be created, and the overall living conditions of the Basho people were greatly improved. Mines and high-rises on Basho began to be built and the Empire provided financial support to jump-start Basho's economy.[1][3]
