Mij's knowledge of the Death Star incident:
Mij Korsta's knowledge of the Death Star's destruction is pieced together from the fragmented and often contradictory information that trickled into the Outer Rim. On Nar Shaddaa, where information flows freely but is often distorted, Mij heard rumors in cantinas, smugglers' dens, and gambling halls. Some stories painted the Rebel Alliance as bold heroes who struck a critical blow against the Empire, while others framed them as reckless terrorists inviting chaos.
The details Mij gathered were incomplete: he knew the destruction occurred at Yavin and that a Rebel pilot was responsible for delivering the final blow. However, specifics like the Death Star's planetary-destroying capabilities or the full scope of the Rebellion's involvement were shrouded in misinformation. Propaganda holovids from the Empire denounced the Rebels as dangerous insurrectionists, while underground news sources celebrated the act as a triumph of freedom over tyranny.
Mij filtered what he heard through his own experiences. While he recognized the audacity of taking on the Empire, he also believed the event would lead to harsher Imperial crackdowns on already-oppressed systems like Toshara. To him, the destruction of the Death Star was less a symbol of hope and more a spark that would ignite further suffering for those caught in the Empire's grip.
