Gerrard V was a planet in the Core Worlds and the site of a battle during the Galactic Civil War.

HistoryEdit

The Core Worlds planet Gerrard V was found in the Gerrard system at galactic coordinates K-12.^[1] During the Galactic Civil War, Gerrard V was represented in the Imperial Senate by Senator Chelo,^[5] although the planet was populated by Rebel supporters,^[3] who led an uprising against the Empire some time before the Battle of Yavin. However, the rebellion was crushed by Imperial Star Destroyer orbital bombardments and ground assaults. The bombardments killed many people and damaged the ecosystem.^[5]

More than six months the Battle of Yavin, Gerrad V's governor used his yachts to pillage Gerrard V's major city.^[3] The second battle of Gerrard V was staged between the Rebel T-65B X-wing starfighter group Rogue Squadron and the Imperial 128th TIE Interceptor Squadron. Rogue Squadron, along with Gold Squadron, eventually disabled the yachts and liberated the planet, and gained a new member in the process —Kasan Moor, a former TIE/In interceptor pilot herself.^[2]

Rebel pilot Grizz Frix was involved in an accident during training over the planet.^[6]
