The Massacre of Tatooine was a battle in the Outer Rim Sieges, and one of the few that Darth Minious himself personally oversaw.
The battle[]
Mos Espa[]
High General Revenous and a contingent of Sith Troops landed and invaded Mos Espa early in the morning in 17 ABY. They swept through the city, killing many as they slept, and only encountering a small militia resistance force. They suffered very little casualties, and moved on to the second of the three major cities on Tatooine.
Mos Eisley[]
Alerted by some of the survivors of Mos Espa, the inhabitants of Mos Eisley armed themselves and fought as hard as they could, forcing High General Revenous to call for reinforcements and AT-ATs before finally subduing the resistant population.
Mos Hurga[]
Darth Minious himself attacked the final city of Mos Hurga where he encountered the most resistance, as well as two individuals wielding lightsabers. Lysa Sornfree and her husband Korto Vos fought Darth Minious personally whilst George Talore led a large number of men and women in the fight against the Sith Troops. Lysa and Korto died very quickly, and the resistance was defeated, resulting in a complete victory for the Sith, who quickly left the planet once again.
Naming[]
The Sith Council decided that due to the high speed under which the mission was executed, coupled with the fact that they suffered next to no casualties in comparison to many of the other worlds the Sith Military had fought at, they decided that it would be fitting to describe it as a massacre.
