Bantha Sqadron
this Imperial training unit was stationed at the Carida Academy during the years prior to the Battle of Yavin. It was decimated during a training exercise which was designed to test prototype MT-ST walkers. Shira Elan Colla Brie and Myrette Davani were hunting Bantha Squadron's MT-STs as part of a wargame exercise, moving through the mountains known as Tarkin's Teeth. For an unknown reason, Shira's training lasers had been replaced with actual working weaponry, a situation that was later blamed on "instructor error". All members of Bantha Squadron working in the MT-ST were killed, and the walker itself was destroyed. Their deaths were later described in Imperial communications as "regrettable casualties", and the surviving members of Bantha Squadron acted as if nothing has happened.
