Gassing of Anoat

Around 0 ABY the planet of Anoat was gassed by the Galactic Empire. A group of dissidents were known to have been present on Anoat, but the Empire could not find their camp. Consequently, Captain Ubrik Adelhard, a junior military advisor in command of his own Imperial-class Star Destroyer,Battle of Jakku — Insurgency Rising 1 decided to gas the whole planet, rendering Anoat toxic and poisonous, and forcing much of the population to flee their homeworld. Those who did not evacuate the planet ended up mutating, transforming into feral creatures known as Lurkers. The gassing of Anoat also taught the Alliance a valuable lesson, which was to avoid operating among civilians.
The Empire's official version was that Anoat had been poisoned and a few of its inhabitants "moderately damaged" by "a series of tragic industrial accidents."Star Wars: Uprising—Mercenary Contract: "Anoat"
==Behind the scenes==
The gassing of Anoat was first mentioned in the 2015 video game Star Wars: Uprising, and dates the event several years before the Battle of Yavin. The event was later first depicted in the 2024 comic Battle of Jakku — Insurgency Rising 1. However, Insurgency Rising 1 conflicts with Uprising dating of the event, as the comic shows Ubrik Adelhard being summoned by Darth Vader to the Executor immediately following the event. The Executor is completed shortly after the events of the comic Darth Vader (2015) 25, which is set post-Yavin and is dated to 0 ABY by the reference book Star Wars: Timelines.Star Wars: Timelines As a result, this article treats the date of pre-Yavin as an error.
