Battle of Kestos Minor

A firefight on the planet Kestos Minor was a battle of the Kwymar Suppressions, in 17 BBY. The Rebel forces on Doniphon were defeated by the Galactic Empire.
==Prelude==
Early during the Imperial Period, the Rebel bases in the Kwymar sector came under attack by the Imperial forces in a campaign known as the Kwymar Suppressions. Kestos Minor was one of those planets attacked.
==The battle==
During the planetary assault, stormtrooper Modigal Glave would sustain facial damage. A blaster bolt shattered his helmet, sending durasteel fragments into Glave's face. Despite the pain, Glave single-handedly held off a platoon of Rebels until armored AT-ATs arrived. The Rebel forces on the planet were eventually subdued.
==Aftermath==
As reward for his actions, Glave was promoted to lead an elite unit which would later become the storm commandos. Additionally, he was given the Imperial Medal of Valor.
