Rix Road Protest

The Rix Road Protest, also known as the protest on Ferrix, was a violent protest on the planet Ferrix in the Free Trade sector in 19 BBY following the reformation of the Galactic Republic into the Galactic Empire. On the Ferrixian street of Rix Road, as clone troopers of the former Grand Army of the Republic, transformed into the stormtroopers of the Imperial Army, marched down the street, several residents of Ferrix had protested during the ceremony. While demanding for Ferrix's liberation and a return of the former Galactic Republic, four clone stormtroopers were ordered by their commanding officer to take aim on the Ferrixians. Several of the perpetrators, as well as the innocent Clem Andor, the adoptive father of Cassian Jeron Andor, were executed by hanging.
