Leia struggles desperately to keep the Republic from collapsing into all-out civil war, and Han mainly works to keep Leia from going crazy. Taking a chance, rather than lending his efforts to the larger danger, he listens to the Force and goes after her. Luke's clone hunt falls short, and he learns that Mara Jade has vanished on a hunt for a mysterious alien ship that's buzzed her twice. The Imperial conspirators spin their webs larger yet tighter. just as word arrives on Coruscant that Grand Admiral Thrawn has returned.īefore the Caamas crisis rose up, this would have caused the New Republic to react decisively and overwhelm the pathetic fleets still guarding what is left of the Empire, but in the current political climate, there is no consensus on if it is even real.
The heatedness of the debate, with leaders of entire species coming down on either side, leads to a resurging of old inter-species rivalries, and the New Republic begins to fracture. When the news gets out, the New Republic is engulfed by demands for justice - but without knowing who the perpetrators are, for some species the solution is to punish the entire Bothan race, while others consider that unacceptable. Unfortunately, the document Leia has found is corrupted, and the actual list of names is lost. Palpatine's copy of the Caamas document confirms this-but more importantly, notes that a number of Bothans, working for him, helped to lower Caamas's planetary shields, allowing the destruction. Shortly after the Clone Wars, their planet's surface was razed the few survivors were offworld or didn't see what initiated the Holocaust, but the genocide had long been believed to have been directed by Palpatine.
The Caamasi people were a group of peaceful Actual Pacifists, so respected by even some warlike species that "caamasi" was a word for "friend from afar" or similar in numerous languages, and there is even a legend that the first Jedi came to the Caamasi to learn ethical use of the Force. And taking a much-needed vacation on Wayland, the world that the Emperor used as a trophy case, Senator Leia Organa Solo and her children run into a smuggler who has stumbled across a cache of datacards, one of them the Caamas document.
