Stenax Massacres

While Stenos spent years under Imperial occupation, the violent Stenax people evaluated the Imperial forces in secret, attempting to assess their strength in preparation for a massive counter-offensive. When the conflict finally began, approximately ten months after the Battle of Endor, it was so bloody, historians rightfully termed it a "massacre" and compared it to the later Yevethan revolt during the Black Fleet crisis.

Many planets in the Gordian Reach and beyond had significant Stenax populations, and these were instrumental in the surprise attacks, recieving the call to fight from Stenos. Having little information on the on-going Galactic Civil War, the Stenax made many wrongful assumptions, letting their attacks on Imperial military outposts and installations extend to civilian areas. Entire worlds were depopulated by the fanatical species as their campaign of revenge spread across the entire Gordian Reach sector.

Finally able to put an end to the massacres, the New Republic assessed the situation. With millions of lives lost and many intelligent species made extinct, monitoring posts were placed in orbit around Stenos to prevent any future campaigns by the Stenax.
