The Imperial Hall of Heroes served as a memorial dedicated to those who perished while serving the Galactic Empire and was located on the world of Coruscant.
Around 5 BBY, Imperial Commander Pter Nyklas oversaw the construction of a new addition to the Hall of Heroes, utilizing Wookiee enslaved people for labor. Nyklas consistently subjected his Wookiee laborers to whippings and beatings, to the point where a certain Wookiee finally retaliated in fury. Nyklas produced his blaster pistol, but Lieutenant Han Solo intervened, stopping him from murdering Chewbacca. Subsequently, they escaped Coruscant and embarked on lives as smugglers.
