The Ghorman Massacre, alternatively referred to as the massacre on Ghorman, occurred in 2 BBY when Galactic Empire troops brutally murdered unarmed demonstrators on the planet of Ghorman. Magva Yarro, a participant in the demonstrations, lived through the tragic event and subsequently became a member of Saw Gerrera's Partisans. News regarding the devastating massacre was received by Senator Tynnra Pamlo, who maintained a strong working relationship with the Rebel Alliance Intelligence Service.
After the catastrophic event, Mon Mothma, the Senator representing Chandrila, openly held Emperor Sheev Palpatine accountable for the violent assaults against the Ghorman population, which led the Empire to attempt to capture her.
