Gra Ploven was a planet in Colonies, which fell within the priority sector of Grand Moff Dureya under the reign of the Galactic Empire. When Gra Ploven failed to make the expected contribution to the Galactic Empire's war effort, 200,000 of the native Ploven were boiled alive when the Star Destroyer Forger carried out a punitive orbital bombardment of the seas around their coastal cities.
