Seswenna Security Crisis

The Seswenna Security Crisis was a Republic-wide crisis that began in the Seswenna sector and eventually cost the lives of billions of beings. Originally conceived by a loose union of business interests and dictatorial politicians as a way to destabilize the Seswenna sector and the political infrastructure that opposed substantial government control. The Republic stumbled upon the conspiracy when an investigation into Senator Hanik Regueny of Commenor led to his death. As his death was investigated, it became revealed that sinister plots had been put in place by Eriadu Interstellar Enterprises owner and founder Avar Zranik. The conspiracy was broader than Zranik, however, and numerous other businessmen, politicians, and civilians were actively taking part in the terrorist plot.

The crisis came to the fore with the Death Seed Plague, which eventually defined the entire conspiracy. The plague wiped out a substantial majority of the population of Seswenna, permanently altering its xenographic makeup and reducing its political power. The plague was not confined, however, and it spread throughout much of the southern galaxy and into the Slice. Chancellor Anwis Eddicus eventually had to quarantine large sections of the galaxy in an effort to stave off the otherwise unstoppable spread of the plague. By the time it was stopped, hundreds of billions were dead.

Even during the Death Sead Plague, terrorist bombings were carried out on Alsakan, Coruscant, Denon, and Thyferra; long-standing politicians were assassinated; and a pro-governmental control faction gained extensive power in the Galactic senate, pushing the Republic into a time of political upheaval.
