A pair of Zabrak refugees

A refugee was an individual who was forced to flee their home or native land due to disaster or conflict such as war or genocide.

History[]

Massive refugee populations were the often result of pan-galactic wars, including the Mandalorian Wars, the Jedi Civil War, the Great Galactic War, and the Clone Wars. While many refugees elected to simply move to a less dangerous region of their homeworld, as seen on Ord Mantell during the Cold War, many others were forced to flee their planets altogether. Such mass exoduses were seen during the Mandalorian Wars, when the surface of Serroco was blasted into glass craters by Mandalorian nuclear warheads. On worlds that were common hosts to refugee populations, specific regions became dedicated to their housing and shelter. The Refugee Sector on Nar Shaddaa served this purpose, as did the Old Galactic Market and Underworld on Coruscant. During the final decades of the Galactic Republic's reign, the Refugee Relief Movement aided refugees fleeing from violence or coping with disaster.

Alderaan Refugees

Alderaan refugees

The refugees of Nar Shaddaa were a loosely knit group of asylum seekers from the Mandalorian Wars and the Jedi Civil War. Led—unofficially—by Hussef, they were civilians and ex-soldiers the Republic, Mandalorians and Sith. They were forced to live in horrendous and cramped conditions in a small maze of cargo containers and prefabricated structures in the Refugee Sector of Nar Shaddaa, and were constantly harried by the exploitative schemes of the Exchange and the aggressive Serroco thugs.

When the Jedi Exile visited the Refugee Sector in her search for Jedi Master Zez-Kai Ell in 3951 BBY, she helped the struggling refugees greatly by "persuading" both factions to give the refugees more living space, as well as aiding several of the refugees with their individual problems.

A painting titled Alderaan Refugees[1]—created after 104 ABY[2]—depicted a variety of refugees on the planet Alderaan.[1]

Notes and references[]

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 "Celestia Galactica Photografica" — Star Wars: Visionaries
  2. ↑ "Celestia Galactica Photografica" was included in Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: Legacy Vol. 4, which describes the stories it contains as taking place more than a century after the events of Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi. That film took place in 4 ABY according to The Essential Atlas, meaning that all paintings in "Celestia Galactica Photografica," including Alderaan Refugees, must have been created after 104 ABY.
