Subjugation of Lirra

The Subjugation of Lirra took place in 2 ABY, during the Galactic Civil War. Three months before the take-over, an undercover news investigation team discovered that the Jhank Shel Hutt clan maintained over a million Human slaves on Lirra. In response to the pressure of the public opinion, Moff Heedra of the Baxel sector declared Lirra a disaster planet. Heedra sent Imperial forces to claim Lirra and surrounding systems. The subjugation was largely paceful and the Hutts only lodged official protest with Coruscant. Relief assstance groups arrived on the planet in the days following the capture of Lirra and it was expected that an Imperial governor was appointed to supervise the reorganization of the planet's infrastructure.
