[edit] History

[edit] Capture of Dooku

A Weequay pirate gang led by Hondo Ohnaka had its headquarters located on Florrum. After their capture of Count Dooku on Vanqor, they returned the planet with the Sith Lord.^[1] Later it was there that Ohnaka captured Jedi Knights Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker after they came to check that Dooku was there to pay the ransom for him. They escaped soon after, with the help of Representative Binks, Commander Stone and several clone troopers. The planet was then left in peace by the Republic, though Dooku was likely to have his Separatist forces invade the planet.^[2]

[edit] Crash landing

Shortly after Cad Bane and his accomplices broke Ziro the Hutt out of Galactic Republic imprisonment. Shahan Alama, one of Cad Bane's accomplices, was caught in a battle over Florrum, while trying to hide from the Republic in the Outer Rim. A Republic gunship, which was under attack by a Munificent-class star frigate and several starfighters, shot Alama's saucer craft down. Shahan was forced to make an emergency landing on Florrum's rocky surface, where he met Hondo Ohnaka and was captured by him.^[3]
