Name: Palmo Armory
Planet: Ghorman
Type: Military Headquarters Building
Background: The Palmo armory was an Imperial armory built in Palmo on the planet Ghorman. The towering building began construction by the Galactic Empire the day after a clandestine Imperial meeting at the Maltheen Divide, where top Imperial officers discussed the Ghorman project, involving the Empire’s manipulation of Ghorman to control the planet’s valuable natural resources. Although the Empire did not have a large presence on Ghorman before the armory, by 3 BBY, the armory was in progress and stood tall over Palmo Plaza, casting a shadow over the Monument to the Fallen, a commemoration of the hundreds of Ghorman people who had died in a massacre at the hands of the Empire’s Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin in 19 BBY. By 2 BBY, the armory had been completed.
The armory’s existence violated the Imperial Charter. Publicly, the Empire did not reveal the nature of the construction, and the Ghorman people were told the building was an annex. However, Ghorman Front rebel movement members did not believe the lies and suspected Imperial military involvement.
