The civil war on the South Cont was a civil war that occurred on the southern landmass of the planet Ranklinge. The northern landmass, where the planet's most significant urban centers were situated, remained untouched by the hostilities.
In 8 BBY, following two years of fighting, the Galactic Empire dispatched a pair of diplomats with the aim of brokering a peace agreement. Their efforts to resolve the conflict proved unsuccessful, and eventually all Imperial military personnel were withdrawn from the world. The internal conflict persisted even after the Battle of Yavin in the months that followed.
