Blackguard campaign

A violent campaign led by a division of Pijali blackguards on the Inner Rim planet Pijal took place in 40 BBY. Operating secretly under the orders of the Pijali Princess Fanry, the soldiers carried out several attacks across Pijal and its moon under the guidance of the monarch's royal guard captain Deren.

As the attacks became increasingly bolder, Fanry assisted in blaming the incidents on the Opposition performance troupe, who had been conducting a series of peaceful protests against the signing of the Governance Treaty initiative. Many of the locations sabotaged were owned by the Czerka Corporation and managed by its local Sector Supervisor, Meritt Col. Believing the Opposition to be the result of the blackguards' actions, Pijal's lord regent Rael Averross attempted to hunt the troupe down.
