The Anchorhead Massacre

''"Anchorhead...I'd rather not talk about it, it was dark day for the republic and the people of Tatooine." ''- Ozone recalling The Anchorhead Massacre

The Anchorhead Massacre happened during the clone wars on Tatooine during the pinnacle of the war. Raider Squad was the only known military force involved in the situation.

 Plot 

The Anchorhead Massacre was based in the city of Anchorhead, the only major city on Tatooine. During a time of tension between the Republic and CIS, Tatooine was one of the unharmed planets aside from the Hutts. The Republic did not bother to send troops to occupy the planet as it was controlled by the Hutts and so saw no need to take it. However during the time that Raider Squad had took leave to have some time off on Tatooine the city of Anchorhead came under assault from some of the natives of the planet Tusken Raiders. It was an unusual attack as there was a lot of them and the attack seemed more coordinated than what the Tusken Raiders would usually do. However gracing over that fact Raider Squad had just a small amount of time to evacuate the large amounts of civilians living in Anchorhead to the spaceport where they would be protected and could hold off until the Tusken Raiders had been driven off.

 Aftermath 

After the assault was quelled there were many casualties for the Republic as not all the civilians could be evacuated. A lot of homes were burned down, civilians and troopers lay dead on the streets. The Republic had eventually sent a cleanup crew to help rebuild the city of Anchorhead.

 Anchorhead cleanup 

After the massacre had happened a small squad of troopers was sent to help get rid of the remaining Tusken Raiders. The small clone force was located at a camp nearby to the city of Anchorhead and they would be scouting out the city before deciding to flank the city on two fronts assaulting the Tusken Raiders that inhabited the city. The troopers eventually made it into the city moving in and out of houses clearing them of any hostiles. During the assault on the city certain clones would also fire upon unarmed Tusken Raiders and brutally killing them to the extent that their bodies were unrecognisable and would then move on to clear the entire city and killing all armed and unarmed Raiders. After the Tusken Raiders were dealt with the Clones had boarded the LAAT leaving for debrief.
