History
Edit
Discovered by the Galactic Republic around the time of the Great Sith War, the planet Durren was settled by Humans of the Grissmath Dynasty, an interstellar government which ruled in the Meridian sector. Unaligned to the Republic, Durren and the Meridian sector were conquered by the Mandalorians during the Mandalorian Wars and was eventually engulfed by the Sith Empire during the Jedi Civil War. Durren would remain outside of Republic control for the next several galactic conflict, including the New Sith Wars.[2]
During the Clone Wars, Durren was located deep in the space controlled by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, a separatist government created in opposition of the Republic's rule.[2] Despite the area's allegiance the Republic's 12th Sector Army of the Grand Army of the Republic patrolled the region. Following the war's end the Galactic Empire, which replaced the Republic, reconquered the galactic rim, placing the Meridian sector and Durren under its direct control.[4]
Sometime after the collapse of the Grissmath Dynasty governance of the planet was turned over to the Durren Central Planetary Council; six major religions were in power on the planet. During this time, the Durren population had placed the Republic's shipyard station, Durren Orbital, in orbit around the planet. While the system was part of the Greater Maldrood territory in 4 through 8 ABY,[2] the planet was overtly pro-New Republic during the end of the Galactic Civil War. Imperial agent Seti Ashgad instigated a revolt against the Planetary Council on Durren and also instigated pirate attacks on Ampliquen to draw the Republic battle cruisers Caelus and Corbantis away from Durren. The plan succeeded, and both ships were infected with the Death Seed plague. The cruisers Courane and Fireater were sent from Durren to investigate the Death Seed breakout on Cybloc XII. [3]
