Brigia

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

Brigia was a planet in the Tion Hegemony, and the Brigian homeworld.

Brigia was also the site of a University of Rudrig branch campus and had a sensitive ecosystem, requiring all incoming ships to undergo a phase-one decontamination before landing. The planet was also home to a Rebel base, though it was abandoned by the Rebellion when they suspected (correctly) that the Empire was going to attack it. This was based on information gathered about Operation Strike Fear.

The evacuation was done with the assistance of Red Squadron and Gold Squadron. All equipment and personnel were loaded aboard all available transports, like the frigate Fugazi and corvette Sonnel etc. Important persons boarded the shuttle group Arroyo while the wounded from the evacuation operation were transferred to frigate Redemption.

During the Yuuzhan Vong War, the Yuuzhan Vong invaded Brigia. The native Brigians resisted at first, though they were eventually forced to go underground and begin a guerilla war. The desperate Brigians pleaded with the Corporate Sector Authority for help, though the business minded organization ignored them.

In the end, the surviving Brigians were enslaved and inserted with Yorik-kul implants.
