Logi Xenocide

The Logi Xenocide was a controversial event that occurred late during the regn of Sam Sinays, in 3,940 BBY.

Background
After the discovery of Devastator, the Sith Order of Decreto was ruled with absolute power by Dark Lord Sam Sinays. Initially, many people of the Empire enthusiastically supported Sam Sinays renewed regime, largely due to the uncertainties that had plagued the Empire for so long. Many wholeheartedly supported Sam Sinays.

But the Sam Sinays' policy became increasingly militaristic in nature. Non-Humans and women were excluded from much of the Empire's rulings. Peaceful demonstrations were organized against the Empire's policies throughout the Empire. One of these so called policies was the Logi Festival of Light.

The Xenocide
A massive group of festival goers were celebrating the start of the Logi new year when the flagship of Jandi Ban arrived in orbit. Mistaking the festival for a protest against his Master's regime opened fire upon the Logi wihout warning. Thousands were killed instantly, and millions more died in the following hours.

Aftermath
Ban, who lied about the military position of the "protestors", was promoted to the position of Commander of the Home Fleet following the xenocide. The Phasasites movement also increased their militaristic campaign against the Empire.
