[edit] History
Circa 22,000 BBY, the planet joined with the fast-expanding Galactic Republic. Byblos was the headquarters of Byblos Drive Yards, and some other important technology brands maintained corporate towers there. It was a densely populated manufacturing center for high technology and military items. The natives built huge city towers, some of which have 5,000 levels or more. BlasTech, SoroSuub, and Sienar Fleet Systems all maintained corporate towers on Byblos.
During the Clone Wars, a battle occurred on Byblos, in which ARC troopers got behind Separatist lines by hijacking a SRT droid.
[edit] Behind the scenes
Byblos shares its name with the city in what is now Lebanon, it is one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world.
