HistoryEdit

In the aftermath of the Sacking of Coruscant, crime syndicates, such as Black Sun, took advantage of the upheaval on Coruscant and began seizing control of the planet's lower levels. With sparse resources, the Republic was unable to counter the takeover and Republic forces and Coruscant Security were withdrawn from various areas.^[1]

In response, a group of ex-soldiers formed the Justicars' Brigade, a militia later simply known as the Justicars. Their intent was to defend not only their homes, but to retake their neighborhoods. As the backlash from Black Sun began, the Justicars took harsher steps to retake control, declaring curfews and eventually martial law. The Justicars' Sector was ringed with checkpoints. Armed guards were authorized to use lethal force against those who did not posses the proper clearances as defined by the Justicars. The government of Coruscant declared the Justicars a threat and the Justicars subsequently cut off all communication with outsiders except the Sith Empire. However, they continued the fight to retake various areas of Coruscant, as well as acting as a self proclaimed security force.^[1] The Justicars became very unpopular. Former Republic trooper Larin Moxla, a denizen of the lower levels, did not approve of their methods, seeing them as as blood thirsty and lawless.^[3] Black Sun, the foremost enemy of the Justicars, constantly worked to destroy them.
