Following the arrival of the Imperial Complex on Lothal around 19 or 18 BBY, the garrison protected, enforced and guarded the Galactic Empire's interests on Lothal during the Empire's occupation. The huge garrison's troops and officers harassed the Lothal civilians when they attempted to sell their wares, bribe troopers, or refused to sell their land to the Empire. The garrison also maintained a Imperial Academy to train new recruits for the garrison. The garrison came under attack by small group of rebels known as the Spectres. The Spectres attacked airfields, assaulted the garrison's troops and stole supplies of food and blasters from them.
