Kanz Disorders

The Kanz Disorders (3,970 - 3,670 BBY) was a conflict that took place in the Kanz Sector in the Outer Rim during the Old Republic Era.

During the Old Sith Wars, Provisional Governor Myrial of Argazda seceeded from the Republic and established a military regime throughout the Kanz Sector. During the conflict that followed, her military forces invaded planets that resisted her reign throughout the Kanz Sector including Lorrd. She often enslaved their inhabitants, most notably the Lorrdians of Lorrd.

The enslaved Lorrdians were forbidden by their masters from communicating with each other. As a result, they were forced to develop a system of subtle gestures, facial expressions, and body postures to talk to each other. This nonverbal form of communication would still be in use in the current era. After three centuries and the loss of over 5 billion lives including those of some 500 million Lorrdians, the Kanz Disorders finally ended when Jedi/Republic efforts toppled the regime in 3,670 BBY.
