The people of Yridia II are dying. A plague has hit the population and Tarentum is being blamed for it, if not for causing it then certainly for not dealing with it properly. Fear has taken over the population, and to make matters worse it seems to be delivered through the returning dead of Yridians who gave their life on Korriban for Tarentum. While no Tarenti has been infected, the Yridian people are being singled out as targets with the intent to harm Tarentum's relationship. And its working.... with some extremists now plotting against the Tarentum.

The plague originally was discovered in the north west island chain. A strong, warrior like people they have been some of the most loyal to Tarentum and regularly had their sons and daugthers enlist with the Tarentum military. However, when their dead began returning from Korriban, a plague came with it and their population was the worst hit. Now, angry with Tarentum, they lead the a rebellion against their former masters.

Write a character fiction of a Yridian effected by the spreading disease. This fiction should have nothing to do with your character, and focusly solely on the Yridian you create. They can be a returning soldier, grieving parent, confused younger sibling, whatever. Detail how the disease is effecting them, and lead up to the night that they were attacked.
