A revolt transpired on Molos in opposition to the Galactic Empire. King Amand, along with his supporters, in addition to members of the Alliance to Restore the Republic, battled against the Empire within Molopolis and achieved triumph. In the course of the revolt, the local Imperial Command Center was subjected to a bombing utilizing mining grade explosives. Despite the eventual suppression of the city's blazes, a layer of smoke persisted above the locale. Ultimately, Imperial Army backup forces arrived to reassert authority, but they suffered defeat in the following Battle of Molopolis.
