Jabiim had been all but torn apart by civil war. The traditionalist - and ruling faction - wanted to maintain the status quo of the planet's independence while a new, more radicalized group of insurgents had lobbied hard for joining the Empire.
What had at first begun as a political movement had quickly turned violent as the traditional party began arresting those speaking out for Imperial annexation. Following the arrests, violence had begun. Blood mixed with the natural rain of the mud planet and flowed freely through the streets and countryside.
This was why Zathria and Tazlen had been sent here: to try to sort... something out of this mess. Their particular instructions had been pretty vague except to "help" the planet. Whether that meant settling a truce, fighting the battles, healing the wounded, or generally providing encouragement was not as clear. One thing was certain, however: they had their work cut out for them.
Zathria had descended from their ship with her poncho hood up as rain was still pouring down into the mud. The moment her boots hit the mud, it sunk in almost an inch, and she realized she was going to have a very wet time here on this world.
