Dhen-Moh genocides

The Dhen-Moh genocides were ordered by the Galactic Empire on the astronomical object Dhen-Moh. The Sith Lord Darth Vader killed many there with his lightsaber, an act that was marked on his reputation afterward. Various figures compared the atrocity on Dhen-Moh with some of the Empire's other major genocides.

Between 19 BBY and 3 ABY, the Galactic Empire ordered genocides on the astronomical object Dhen-Moh. The Sith Lord Darth Vader notably took part in the mass murder, massacring many with his lightsaber.
==Aftermath==
Everi Chalis, an Imperial governor who had defected to the Rebel Alliance's 61st Mobile Infantry, cited his participation to the rebel First Sergeant Hazram Namir in 3 ABY. In 4 ABY, Yrica Quell, an Imperial pilot who had defected to the New Republic, the Alliance's successor, compared the Dhen-Moh genocides—alongside the atrocities involving the planets Alderaan and Lasan—to the Empire's enactment of Operation: Cinder, another genocide ordered by the Empire, in her mind during a conversation. Quell considered the difference between the former genocides and Operation: Cinder as that between ruthlessness and cruelty.
