Legend

this anti-Empire terrorist group was founded on the planet Findris more than sixteen years before the Battle of Hoth by Earnst Kamiel. The goal of the Network was to completely destroy the infrastructure of the Empire through various means, including bombings and assassinations. Kamiel himself was wanted by the Empire on many charges, including thousands of bombings and the cause of over 10,000 deaths. He also had the death sentence in 54 different systems. The organization is often denoted by the acronym JAN. Shortly before the Battle of Endor, the JAN cell in Tapani Sector tried to take out the Imperial torpedo sphere that was stationed near Tallaan. Unknown to the agents, a similar effort was already underway by Vaskel Savill and House Melantha. Both factions discovered their separate activities during their simultaneous assaults on the sphere, and they worked to disrupt the other while hoping to take credit for the destruction of the ship. In the end, though, the attacks gave the Empire all the basis it needed to place a stranglehold on Tapani Sector. The Justice Action Network movement broke up when Kamiel was captured on Elrood and executed on Haldeen some time later.
