A few months ago, some holonet transmissions made their way to Damar talking about Coruscant's recapture by the Empire and the rise of some bloke named Grand Marshall Simon Kaine.

Whatever was 'grand' about being a marshall was lost on Kreech. The food still tastes like crap and for every cretin who scurries out of your way, there are two who try to get a bit of fame by knocking off the Marshall.

It seemed this Kaine fellow was too prissy to be an effective marshall and assumed he wouldn't hold the office for long before being killed.
