Chaos followed in the wake of Chancellor Palpatine’s gruesome and untimely death. Some, like the Jedi and the Coruscant Guard, did their best to contain the damage, but this only put them first in the line of pointed fingers from those grasping desperately for someone to blame for the Chancellor’s unfortunate demise.

Someone needed to be held responsible, but no one could agree on a target. Because as the facts came to light, it became clear that despite objections raised by everyone else involved, Chancellor Palpatine had been the one who had insisted the Zillo Beast be brought to Coruscant.
