Kou Voravong
The political crisis caused by his assassination, barely two months after the Geneva Agreements which prepared to restore peace in Indochina, contributed to bring down the current neutralist government (pro-French) which was replaced by a progressive one (pro-American) in extremely tense atmosphere of the Cold War between Russia and the United States. From 1955 indeed, the political history of this small landlocked country fell trapped inexorably in the ideological confrontation between the capitalist United States and the communist Soviet Union, annihilating any hope of national unification.
Death Troopers
All the survivors are separated: Sartoris faces the few living survivors who have become cannibalistic, and are hiding in an Imperial Assault shuttle previously captured by the "Vector" tractor beam. Solo and Chewbacca make their way to the bridge in an attempt to either fly the "Vector", or at least turn off the tractor beam. Kale dies from an infected wound, returns to life as a zombie, and is subsequently killed again by Trig. Cody finds herself in the "Vector" medbay, and with the aid of the Destroyer's own 21B discovers the cause of the contagion: Codenamed "Blackwing", it is an artificially created virus – intended to slow the onset of decay and rigor mortis, and increase the healing capacity of the human body prior to death. The "Vector" was taking it to an isolated outpost for testing. However, the contagion – characterised by a grey goo – leaked from its containers and infected the ship, converting its 8,000 crew into the undead. Cody observes from her vantage point that the remaining ships in the docking bay are being filled with the zombies, who are attempting to leave the "Vector" and spread their contagion throughout the galaxy.
