Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.
In the aftermath of the Sacking of Coruscant in 3653 BBY, riots broke out across the Galactic Republic's capital planet Coruscant. Caused by a lack of food, lack of police presence, and refugees desperate for supplies the unrest ripped through Galactic City adding to the damage caused by the Imperial forces. Though eventually put down by the Republic Military, the riots resulted in the take over of the Old Galactic Market by refugees and the Migrant Merchants' Guild, the formation of Black Sun and its own territory, the eventual formation of vigilantes known as the Justicars' Brigade, and the withdrawal of the Coruscant Security Force's presence in Coruscant's lower levels.
