Bothawui has been suffering for long months now. For over a decade the planet had been subject to a light touch by its Imperial masters - the Federation's government had remained largely intact and continued to run domestic policy though only at the pleasure of the Imperial Moff. All that has changed now - while Bothan Federation Security continues to patrol the streets they stand aside when Imperial Stormtroopers with utter impunity smash down doors and drag families into the streets. Homes ransacked, belongings destroyed and the victims taken away while helpless neighbors look on. Few are seen again and many are only thankful that it is not they and their families the authorities have come for that day.
