Looking back, they called those turbulent times simply: The Troubles.
A period of chaotic upheaval and destruction that sent the Republic reeling through successive crises, each growing more desperate as the galaxy spun out of control. Exactly when The Troubles started was open to interpretation--after the Savage Wars, the action on Psydon, the forced migration of the zhee, the Mid-Core Rebellion, Kublar, Goth Sullus, the Cybar, or the return of the lost Savages led by their messiah, the Golden King.
A quaint name for a horrific period in the galaxy's history. Through it all, the silent Legion waits for its cue to once more tread upon the stage and break their enemies through nothing more--and nothing less--than total violence of action, capably applied.
As though this time... things will be different.
Out on the edge, they say... Everyone's got a plan, until the Legion shows up.
