A planet without law

With the indiscriminate destruction rendering large sections of Coruscant without power, services, or law, citizens are forced to take matters into their own hands. Unfortunately, years of rule by the Imperial overlords has removed any individual thought or organizational ability from 99% of the population. The segment of the population with skills and abilities to survive a loss of power and direction turned out to be the least acceptable population on the planet, criminals.

Those despised few that lived life off the Imperial grid possessed the skills and resources needed when the grid was destroyed by the bombardment from returning Imperial ships. Any pockets of rebel influence would have been able to rally citizens against their newly destructive Imperial rulers. Unfortunately, these same rebels were some of the first groups destroyed by the returning fleet. With uncanny accuracy, all rebel pockets of influence were wiped out in the first few hours of the Imperials return - wiped out, all of them.
