Contents
Events
The operation was later described by Imperial officer Joshua Chamberlain as "a clean-up involving the Wookiee population of the planet."[1] Allegedly, circa Year 6 Day 356, Imperial soldiers formed a human chain that swept across settled districts in an attempt to corral the Wookiees. Although Wookiees were their primary target, Imperial forces ultimately arrested and executed a large variety of sentient beings on Kashyyyk. Task Force Delta forces made extensive use of AT-AT walkers and drop ships transports for this brutal campaign of arrests and executions.
Following public outrage against the massacre, the Galactic Empire claimed that Task Force Delta was deployed on the planet to investigate whether the Wookiee inhabitants were conspiring with the Tenloss Syndicate and the New Anzat Order to overthrow Imperial rule. After their suspicions were confirmed, they had no choice but to order the mass execution of every individual on the planet's surface for "collaboration with the enemy."
Legacy
Every year, an official day of remembrance — entitled "Black Forest Day" — occurs on Year 6 Days 356-357. The purpose of the annual event is to cherish and to remember the countless Wookiees who perished during the Kashyyyk Massacre, a historic event in which innocent beings were indiscriminately murdered by the Galactic Empire without a trial and without even confirming their identities.
