Mission to Kegan

Background
Kegan's surface consisted of mainly rugged countryside, as well as plateaus. It was used mostly for food and animal cultivation. There was only one city on Kegan, which was divided into circles for each area of work. The Circles were large domed structures connected to each other by unpaved roads and located in a ring around the Gathering Circle, where meetings were held. Kegan did not have a currency, but relied on a barter system.

From 73 BBY to 43 BBY, Kegan isolated itself in accordance with the visions of V-Tan and O-Vieve, who foresaw the coming of the Galactic Empire. In their zeal to protect their homeworld from the Empire, these Benevolent Guides created a new government system made to protect the people from this threat. However, measures intended for good taken by the government caused just as much suffering as it was intended to avoid. New systems were put in place on Kegan such as universal surveillance which caused the government to become repressive. All the citizens of Kegan had a vote in government issues, however V-Tan and O-Vieve decided what they should vote on, creating only the illusion of democracy.

Under the rule of the Benevolent Guides, all Keganite children were forced to add a "V-" (for males) or "O-" (for females) before their names. Also, the Keganite children were sent away to be raised in schools. Here they were taught and instructed to the point of brainwashing to be extremely xenophobic, through lessons that misrepresented the galaxy as much more dangerous and malignant than it actually was.

Mission
The rule of the Guides was ended in 43 BBY by Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Adi Gallia, and Siri Tachi. They exposed the cruelty brought about by the Guides' rules of isolation, including the suffering caused by diseases which the galactic community had learned the cure for during Kegan's self-imposed quarantine. When Siri, V-Davi, and Obi-Wan escaped the Re-Learning Circle, the Anti-Isolationists used it to cause a public uproar that disposed of Benevolent Guides and to send a envoy to the Republic.
