362.06 // Mon Gazza Riots Leads to Travel Ban
Galactic Republic authorities released a statement yesterday warning against travel to Mon Gazza following several days of intense rioting in the system. Mon Gazza, which maintains a permanent threat rating of Hazardous, was upgraded to High Threat after the riots reached spaceports.
Local reports cite skirmishes between security forces and rioters in major settlements across the planet in what appears to be a coordinated attack. Many amenities and public buildings have closed since the riots began, including the infamous podracing circuits. As of this report, it is not certain how the riots sparked.
Mon Gazza lies at the junction between the Corellian Run and the Llanic Spice Run, with traders as its main traffic. The nearby systems of Ando and Andosha have reported a spike in activity.
