* In ''Literature/ShadowsOfTheEmpire'', Xizor wants Darth Vader disgraced and dead because of what happened to his hometown: a bioweapon lab under Vader's authority situated in the city accidentally leaked a [[SyntheticPlague flesh-eating bacteria]], and to prevent it from spreading to the entire planet and possibly beyond [[ItsTheOnlyWayToBeSure incinerated the entire city and everything within 40 kilometers of the labs from orbit]], killing 200,000 people including Xizor's family. But that's not the worst part, the worst part is that Vader ''held back'': the commander of his ship ''[[MeaningfulName Devastator]]'', captain Bolvan, wanted to use a weapon that would have [[AtmosphereAbuse incinerated the atmosphere of the planet]], but [[EvenEvilHasStandards Vader decided it was excessive]] and ordered a conventional OrbitalBombardment with turbolasers (and demoted Bolvan).

* The Unknown Regions. Huge uncharted regions of the galaxy that are difficult to travel to thanks to black holes and [[EldritchLocation bizarre planets]], many that are inhabitated by [[EldritchAbomination frightening monstrosities]] such as the aformentioned [[BlobMonster Mnggal-Mnggal]] and [[HumanoidAbomination Abeloth]], as well as the freaky looking [[https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Starweird/Legends Starweirds]].

* InUniverse example in "The Krytos Trap", book three of the original Literatre/RogueSquadron novels. At the novel's climax, the Super Star Destroyer ''Lusankya'' emerges from its hiding place ''inside'' the [[CityPlanet planet-encompassing cityscape]] of Coruscant. As Wedge contemplates how in the world Emperor Palpatine managed to put it in there and have nobody aware of it, he comes to the conclusion that thre's two possibilities. Option 1: Palpatine was so ''powerful'' he was capable of using MoreThanMindControl on ''thousands'', maybe '''millions''' of sentients and wiping all memory of seeing ''Lusyanka'' installed. Option 2: Palpatine simply had every last one of those thousands to millions of witnesses ''KilledToUpholdTheMasquerade'' '''and nobody ever noticed'''. He's honestly not sure which option scares him the most.
