Rebels fleeing through Setnin Sector?

Following reports of the destruction of the Empire's ultimate weapon, the Death Star, clampdowns on primary Setnin starports has been implemented by the Imperial Forces stationed within the area's borders. Planets at the periphery of the sector have been targeted by destroyers and frigates in an attempt to locate Rebel Forces believed to be using the lightly patrolled routes as an avenue of escape.

Chinngard, one of the planets targeted by the increased Imperial activity, has spoken out at the new pressure placed on their lives. 'We've just got over an attempted Janos invasion and now we're expected to put up with Imps crawling all over the place', said a government spokesman. This followed an Imperial sector-wide decree that anyone hindering Imperial investigations would be investigated as a Rebel collaborator and possibly executed.

This bodes ill for the Sector as a whole. The whole reason for the divide from the Old Republic was to gain autonomy from the rest of the galaxy but this ideal seems to have been replaced by an overwhelming threat of force.
