Events

 * A conspiracy within the CDU government Caspian Democratic Union which has secretly supplied arms to the New Republic for years in violation of neutrality is uncovered by the Galactic Empire. A massive fleet under the command of Lord Aldus Thel establishes a months long blockade of the entire sector. The Republic mounts relief efforts and a valiant attempt to break the Imperial stranglehold but narrow defeats see the starving Union bow to Imperial demands. A new treaty is agreed, banishing the Republic from Union territory and surrendering sovereignty of its customs enforcement to the Corporate Sector Authority.
 * The Imperial Governor of the Maw Sector and the infamous Spice Mines of Kessel is executed during a daring prison break by Jedi Knight Johanna Siri te Danaan. Thousands of tons of unprocessed spice are stolen and slaves freed. The Empire covers up the incident, claiming to have executed the Moff on charges of corruption. Moff Hennis is appointed the new governor, pledging to make up the shortfall by the year's end.
 * Entire villages bordering the shadowlands on Kashyyyk are found abandoned. The headcount of the missing climbs to the tens of thousands as it spreads outward, affecting larger and larger settlements.
 * A warlord arises on Trandosha, leading a confederation of the lesser clans. They are extremely well supplied and a growing threat to the ruling Blackscale hegemony. Many anticipate civil war.
 * Sporadic episodes of uncontrolled violence occur on Ord Mantel. No explanation is made public for the phenomena.
