The Bargudeen Disaster occurred roughly three hundred years before the Battle of Yavin on Innik, a world in the Unknown Regions. Bargudeen was a highly populated region on one of Innik's largest continents. Two Toork countries were at war, and one sought to eliminate the other and gain access to its natural resources by poisoning the enemy city's underground water supply. The toxins administered worked, but too well; due to the interconnectedness of Innik's underground caverns, the poisons spread over most of Bargudeen, killing off the target society and the country which did the poisoning, wiping out several small states which had been neutral in the conflict, causing massive casualties in nearby nations, and causing widespread crop desolation on the surface.
