Nar Shaddaa Revolution

"You won't make it off the planet alive!"

The Nar Shaddaa Revolution of 15 ABY was an explosive and erratic civil war on Nar Shaddaa. Its unlikely alliances and strange developments unveiled more intrigue and danger to the galaxy, while secretly enveloping the rise of a New Sith Order.

Origins
The conflict began in secrecy, and for reasons unknown to most of the galaxy. The Hutts, for the longest time having been in control of the Nar Shaddaa, were notorious for remaining neutral between the wars of the galaxy; only helping themselves out by overcharging the highest bidders.

In a swift move, to support an up-and-coming crime lord, Darth Malign had brought in a battle group to seal off the Hutt Sector in late 15 ABY. His battle group was made up almost entirely of independents, seemingly without the backing of the Galactic Empire. In fact, the only Imperial presence to be seen in the blockade was HIMS Predator, which had recently been part of the Empire's success at the Retribution of Coruscant.

As shipments to and from the area were quickly shut down, local support to Grubba the Hutt plummeted, until only those who were highly paid by him gave him support. Tensions rose quickly across the city-wide moon, threatening an eruption of civil violence of a type never before seen on the moon. It was all orchestrated in secrecy with the quiet backing of superpowers for each side involved.

The Revolution Begins
Life was tense on the Smugglers' Moon. All the heavy sidearms had come out, all the armor was worn; every extra precaution was being taken as the denisens of the moon, trapped beneath the blockade, waited for the fire to ignite. As time wore on, tensions brewed across the moon, until a group of vigilantes led by Darth Malign struck the match that set the moon ablaze.

Showdown at the Meltdown
As fighting erupted across the entire moon, the leaders of the revolution found themselves cornered in the Meltdown Cafe. Using the alias of "Tatooine Bob", Darth Malign managed to recruit help to fight against some of Grubba the Hutt's most vicious thugs. The Showdown at the Meltdown Cafe, as it would come to be called later, became the first major turn of events in the Revolution.
