Battle of Giju
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
The Battle of Giju was a brief conflict fought on Giju shortly after the establishment of the Galactic Empire.
[edit] The battle
The Empire desired to nationalize the industry and infrastructure on Giju and subjugated the planet. This spurred a short, but violent revolt by the native Herglic, which was only ended after horrific massacres forced the Herglic to reconsider their resistance.
[edit] Aftermath
Because the Herglic surrendered so rapidly to the Empire, much of the infrastructure remained intact throughout the Imperial Period. This lead to a rapid recovery for the Herglic once they joined the New Republic in its early days.
