History
Edit
Discovered by the Galactic Republic during the Great Manifest Period, Affa was located along the Shipwrights' Trace. Located in space contested by the Republic during the New Sith Wars, it joined the galactic regime after the defeat of the Brotherhood of Darkness.[1]
Affa was host to a Cybot Galactica manufacturing plant, one which produced many components which would be used in the construction of the protocol droid C-3PO, nearly a century before his activation on Tatooine. During the Clone Wars the world remained loyal to the Republic, pledging allegiance to the Galactic Empire at its rise in 19 BBY. Remaining neutral throughout the wars of the next several decades, it wasn't until Affa was conquered by the Yuuzhan Vong that they felt the horrors of war. While it was eventually freed, little was heard from Affa over the next century; though it did join Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire as of 137 ABY.[1]
Behind the scenes
Edit
Affa first appeared in notes George Lucas composed in 1977 when creating a backstory for C-3PO intended for the use of licensees in the Expanded Universe. It was where the droid was first built, in 112 BBY. It is described as being in the "Third Sector" of the Galactic Empire, in the Outland Regions (Outer Rim).[2]
