The Alteria Suppression,[4] also known as the Planet Alteria Scorched Earth Operation[5] or the Uprising on Planet Alteria,[6] was one of the most destructive acts the Imperial Guard committed near the end of Desler's regime .
Prelude[]
After word spread of Space Battleship Yamato's existance, and how a ship from a planet being invaded by the Empire had caused so much trouble for the Imperial Defense Force, many worlds began revolting against Garmillas and Desler. Prior to the Battle of Carell 163. The population of Alteria began a revolt.[2]
The assault[]
The Astro Coast Guard Fleet at Alteria
When the rebellion began, many Garmillans were forced to evacuate as the natives began taking their planet back, encircling the colonial capital, however many weren't able to escape. The planet's Consul, Liber Droppe, escaped the planet and requested aid. Director General Hydom Gimleh of the Imperial Guard led the Astro Coast Guard Fleet to deal with the rebellion.[2]F
Gimleh met Droppe aboard his flagship, and after hearing his pleas for aid in defending the remaining Garmillans on the planet, he instead ordered the governor to be killed.[2]
The Alterian Hill tribe is wiped out
The fleet moved in to bombing position as interplanetary missiles began raining down on the planet killing the celebrating Alterians. After the initial strike multiple Polmeria-class carriers fired upon the surface cities while squadrons of fighters wiped out smaller, more remote groups. In a matter of minutes a once blue world had been largely burnt.[2]
Aftermath[]
Admiral Gul Dietz and Lt. General Ghader Talan's reaction to the Alterian suppression
This event caused a rift in Garmillas leadership between those who thought they were being to brutal and those who didn't. The brutality of his actions led to Gimleh gaining the moniker of "Butcher of Alteria".[4][2]
Many of the surviving Alterians would find themselves in prison camps. These people were presumably released after the new Garmillas government took power.[7]
Notes[]
- The Space Battleship Yamato 2199 manga specifies that there were 80,000 Garmillas immigrants on Alteria during the bombing.[3]
