A pair of Zabrak refugees
Arefugee was an individual who was forced to flee their home or native land due to disaster or conflict such aswar orgenocide.
History[]
Massive refugee populations were the often result of pan-galactic wars, including theMandalorian Wars, theJedi Civil War, theGreat Galactic War, and theClone Wars. While many refugees elected to simply move to a less dangerous region of theirhomeworld, as seen onOrd Mantell during theCold War, many others were forced to flee theirplanets altogether. Such mass exoduses were seen during the Mandalorian Wars, when the surface ofSerroco was blasted intoglass craters byMandaloriannuclear warheads. On worlds that were common hosts to refugee populations, specific regions became dedicated to their housing and shelter. TheRefugee Sector onNar Shaddaa served this purpose, as did theOld Galactic Market andUnderworld onCoruscant. During the final decades of theGalactic Republic's reign, theRefugee Relief Movement aided refugees fleeing from violence or coping with disaster.
The refugees of Nar Shaddaa were a loosely knit group of asylum seekers from the Mandalorian Wars and the Jedi Civil War. Led—unofficially—byHussef, they were civilians and ex-soldiers the Republic, Mandalorians and Sith. They were forced to live in horrendous and cramped conditions in a small maze of cargo containers and prefabricated structures in the Refugee Sector of Nar Shaddaa, and were constantly harried by the exploitative schemes of theExchange and the aggressive Serroco thugs.
When theJedi Exile visited the Refugee Sector in her search forJedi MasterZez-Kai Ell in3951 BBY, she helped the struggling refugees greatly by "persuading" both factions to give the refugees more living space, as well as aiding several of the refugees with their individual problems.
