The resistance’s victory was short-lived. At some point during the waning years of the Galactic Civil War, Imperial forces led by the ISB agent Gideon began a retaliatory bombardment of Mandalore, destroying the world’s remaining dome cities and its capital, Sundari in the process. After Bo-Katan Kryze negotiated a ceasefire agreement and surrender to the Empire in the wake of the bombings, known as the Night of a Thousand Tears, Gideon betrayed their terms and continued the genocidal purge of Mandalore, forcing Bo-Katan and her remaining forces into hiding off-world and stealing the Darksaber as his personal trophy in the process.
