Milvayne/Legends
- "Mon Mothma, I am forced to disagree. The course you are embarking on is foolhardy. I request that you postpone and reconsider the attack on Milvayne."
- ―Garm Bel Iblis to Mon Mothma
Milvayne was a planet in the Gyrica system[2] of the Inner Rim.[1]
History
During the Galactic Civil War, Milvayne was an Imperial fortress world and essential to the Empire's hold on the Gyrica system. Shortly prior to the Battle of Yavin, Mon Mothma proposed an attack on Milvayne in the near future, which was supported by Bail Prestor Organa before his death. Following the Battle of Yavin, Mon Mothma ordered the attack to be carried out. Garm Bel Iblis, who rarely saw eye to eye with Mon Mothma, believed that the planet possessed an Ubiqtorate base rather than a mere Imperial garrison, and that the attack was an impossible, suicidal undertaking. The quarrel over the attack ultimately led to the split between the Alliance and Bel Iblis's forces.[2] The battle eventually occurred but Rebel forces were defeated as expected by Bel Iblis.[3]
