The Humiliation of Barkhesh represents a clash that occurred on the world of Barkhesh during the Galactic Civil War. This confrontation pitted the forces of the Galactic Empire against those of the Rebel Alliance. The battle took place at some point prior to the significant Battle of Yavin. Cassio Tagge, a High General within the Imperial Army, asserted in his contribution to the Imperial Handbook: A Commander's Guide that the 1st Tapani Assault Battlegroup emerged victorious. However, this assertion was subsequently challenged by General Carlist Rieekan of the Rebel forces.
