Teardrop massacre
The Teardrop massacre occurred in 0.5 ABY. The Galactic Empire suspected a Rebel Alliance cell of being on the planet Teardrop, and the star destroyer Reprisal had been ordered to destroy the Rebel ships with no mercy. By the time the ship had arrived there, the Rebels had already evacuated. The last of the ships to leave Teardrop before the Imperials landed was the Millennium Falcon. The Millennium Falcon was carrying the last of the technicians and equipment needing evacuation from the planet. The crew included Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Chewbacca.
The ship's ISB officer, Major Drelfin, ordered stormtroopers into a town and had them fire on civilians, with aliens first, with the intent of blaming it on Rebel agitators within the town's populace. Stormtroopers like Daric LaRone were split up into groups and sent into the city. Stormtrooper snipers such as Taxtro Grave were assigned to rooftop duty. As a result of the massacre, the future Hand of Judgment killed Drelfin and went rogue.
This massacre resulted in the casualties of an entire town full of unarmed civilians.
