Background: Palmo was the capital city of the planet Ghorman. It was situated between mountains and the sea, with canals running around its borders and through its interior. In 19 BBY, the city was the site of a violent incident, later known as the Tarkin Massacre, in which Moff Wilhuff Tarkin landed his cruiser on top of the crowd of peaceful demonstrators in one of the city’s plazas, ultimately killing five hundred people. Eventually, the somber event was memorialized by the Ghorman people with the Monument to the Fallen at the massacre site.
In 4 BBY, the Galactic Empire began constructing an armory, which it called an annex. The new building was within sight of the Monument to the Fallen and violated the Empire’s agreement with the Ghorman people following the Tarkin Massacre.
By 3 BBY, an Imperial office complex operated near the Palmo Plaza. The complex included a field office for the Imperial Bureau of Standards.
