[edit] Background
A few centuries after their discovery by the Bothans, the people of Dressel were subjugated by the Galactic Empire. The Dressellian asteroid belt would be stripped of its resources, while the planet Dressel was to serve as an Imperial mining headquarters.
[edit] The conflict
Not willing to remain oppressed, the Dressellians rebelled against the Imperial occupation, and with Bothan support, were able to arm themselves and fight for their freedom.
The Dressellian projectile rifle was produced in large numbers by the Dressellians and the Bothans during the conflict, and aided them in driving off the Imperial occupants.
[edit] Aftermath
The Rebel Alliance were impressed by the Dressellians resilience in their struggle against the Empire, and offered them the chance of joining the larger resistance force. Orrimaarko was one of the veterans who volunteered for service. Their cooperation with the Alliance would later on lead the Dressellians to join the New Republic.
