History
Edit
Discovered after the Ruusan Reformation of the Galactic Republic, Andasala remained outside the Republic's borders throughout its history. A haven for criminals and pirates, the world was settled as a mining colony for Gesenix Mining. Seeing a flood of settlers after word of its lush natural resource supply spread, many colonists came from nearby Svivren.[3]
Avoiding the Clone Wars, Andasala attracted attention during the Galactic Civil War, as many Imperial battles were fought along the shipping lanes surrounding the world. It wasn't until the rise of crime lord Valis Lorn that the world began to nationalize, with the settlements further developing and cleaning up, as the seeder parts were cleared out and made relatively safe. With Lorn's cartel running the government, the small time criminals were driven offworld. The Devaronian Sires Vant ran a money-lending system on the planet. Establishing the Andasala Achievement News, the inhabitants of the world stayed on top of galactic events until the Yuuzhan Vong War cut it off from the wider galactic civilization.[3]
As of 137 ABY, Andasala was part of the Galactic Empire of Darth Krayt, although it was sympathetic to the Galactic Alliance Remnant and the Jedi Order.[3]
Behind the scenes
Edit
The planet Andasala was created for the eleventh issue of the Galaxy Guide, published in 1994. It was later charted on a map of the Outer Rim Territories in the The Essential Atlas.
