The Raid of Janara III represents an Imperial offensive action directed at Janara III which occurred during the era of the Great Jedi Purge.

In the year 6 BBY, High Inquisitor Adalric Cessius Brandl participated as a member of an Imperial fleet. The fleet's mission was to obliterate a settlement situated on Janara III. Intelligence reports indicated that this town served as a haven for Rebel operatives and concealed Jedi who were in hiding. Brandl commanded the task force, which included the Imperial-class Star Destroyer known as the Judicator. The city of Sreina faced complete annihilation, resulting in the massacre of numerous innocent civilians.
However, unbeknownst to Brandl, a young child, gifted with Force-sensitive abilities, managed to survive the destructive onslaught.

Amidst the debris of a destroyed residence, a junior officer holding the rank of Lieutenant, named Chanceller, discovered a small, unconscious six-year-old girl named Alexandra. Senior Lieutenant [Brandei], Chanceller's commanding officer, was unaware of Brandl's actual directives. Brandei made the decision to have the child adopted by Imperial Governor Tork Winger residing on Garos IV.
