Kestic Station was a free-trader outpost on the fringes of the Bestine system. It was a stopover point and occasional home to free-traders and asteroid miners of a distinctly non-guild, non-regulation, non-Imperial bent. Early in the Galactic Civil War, the parents of Zev Senesca, longtime traders of any and all goods, began dealing in arms for the then-fledgling Rebellion. Although these actions were extremely risky—illegal arms dealing with the Alliance carried the death penalty—they felt they were doing the right thing. They would soon become a vital link in the Rebellion's supply chain.
