Rimma

Rimma was an astronomical object in the Core Worlds, situated on the super-hyperroute known as the Rimma Trade Route. The city of Recardeon was located on Rimma, as was a set of ancient ruins. Several scrolls discovered in the latter by 3637 BBY noted the existence of the artifacts known as the Three Great Works.
Four thousand years later, the jatz musician Fitz Roi was set to perform on Rimma. However, on the day before his concert, Roi caused an incident in the Crystal Room of the Teirra Parko establishment in which he fired his projectile pistols at various historical artifacts kept in the room, causing damage to the artwork on display. Local officials immediately expelled Roi from Rimma, and the millions of the musician's fans engaged in riots in Recardeon upon learning of the concert's cancellation.
Another instance of rioting on Rimma occurred at some point during the Galactic Civil War, when mobs of the residents of the Norsec shanty town entered the suburbs of Recardeon and looted the private residences located there. The Imperial governor of the Rimma system, Alyk Krysusten, subsequently issued a public declaration in which he claimed the mobs had been incited by Rebel Alliance provocateurs, further stating that the government would take strict security measures as a result of the disorders.

Around the date 35:1:22, the famed jatz musician Fitz Roi visited Rimma as part of his Core-wide Summerside Tour of concerts. Millions of fans of Roi's music flocked to the city of Recardeon on Rimma from all over the star system. On the day before he was to perform in a concert in Recardeon, Roi visited the Teirra Parko establishment, where another occupant of the Crystal Room issued a challenge to him. In response, the musician started firing his famous antique projectile pistols at the Crystal Room's fixtures in a random, uncontrolled fashion. In the ensuing chaos, several historical artifacts were either destroyed or damaged.
Rimma officials responded immediately and permanently deported Roi from the celestial body, bringing his concert tour to a halt. Roi's fans, upon learning of the concert's cancellation, engaged in rioting, which caused several hundred thousand credits' worth of damage to properties in downtown Recardeon. On 35:1:22, TriNebulon News covered the Crystal Room incident in a news report issued from Recardeon.
===Disorders in Recardeon===
During the Galactic Civil War, Alyk Krysusten served the Galactic Empire as the governor of the Rimma system. At some point during that conflict, the inhabitants of the Norsec shanty town started rioting, entering the suburbs of Recardeon and looting private residences there. Upon reaching the industrial sector of the city, the mobs encountered fierce resistance from troops of corporate security.
In response to the disorders, Krysusten made a public declaration the following day. The governor claimed that his intelligence sources indicated the inhabitants of the Norsec shanty town had been incited to riot by political dissidents affiliated with the Rebel Alliance. According to Krysusten's declaration, the Rebel provocateurs were also living in the slum district, hiding among the huts of the locals while in the process of establishing a permanent base of operations. The governor ordered an increase in security checks throughout Recardeon and traffic restrictions from outlying areas of the city.
Later that day, Krysusten was scheduled to meet with Iolyn Travanne, the commander of the local garrison, and the citizens of Recardeon expected that Imperial stormtroopers would be ordered by the government to overrun the Norsec district in order to disperse its populace and eliminate any Rebel presence. The rioting in Recardeon and its aftermath was later reported on by media.
