Unnecessary Execution

In October 2246, the USS Enterprise was the first Republic vessel to reach Tarsus IV with food and supplies for the famine-stricken colony, but interference from General Grevious and his ship, Devastator, allowed the unnecessary execution of 4,000 colonists by Governor of Tarsus IV Kodos the Executioner. Captain April regretted that he had not been able to save them in time, but rejoiced when he heard that James T. Kirk, on the colony at the time, had survived the slaughters.
