In a sweeping and controversial move, the ISC President has halted all bacta and kolto trade from going into Imperial space. With the ISC having control of both Thyferra and Manaan, this is a critical blow to the Empire that will cause a massive crisis across their worlds as their soldiers are thrown into war. The blockade over Bespin has also denied the Sith critical tibanna access.
While Imperials are in uproar, much of the galaxy favors the move. Several worlds have begun to hunker down on their sanctions against the Sith, a motion passed by the Galactic Senate that has since become optional. Because enforcing sanctions does not violate ceasefires, Alliance and New Republic worlds alike are free to deny trade and assets to Imperial space.
The kolto and bacta crisis is one that will not only impact Imperial soldiers, but also their citizens. There will be major protests and public outcry from the populations that seek to defect from the Sith or call for a surrender.
