364.22 // Civil War erupts on Shumavar
Outer Rim system Shumavar, which lies on the border of Republic Territory, has engaged in a civil war, claim reports from locals in the region. The Royal Palace at Ansun was the main site of the conflict, with several other skirmishes taking place in surrounding cities.
Tensions have been high on Shumavar since the assassination of beloved King Vyar Erinoss in 363ABY. King Vyar was succeeded by his son, Nivian, whose appointment divided figureheads and public alike. Currently, there is no definitive report on whether King Nivian survived the attack.
The Galactic Republic authorities have advised against unnecessary travel to the system, with many trade routes being occupied by aid and rescue transports.
