HistoryEdit

The Herglic developed hyperdrive around 27,500 BBY and colonized many nearby planets in what became Herglic Space, establishing the Herglic Trade Empire. The Trade Empire collapsed 13,720 BBY. In 12,720 BBY, the Herglic established contact with the Human colonists of nearby Tapani sector. The planet joined the Galactic Republic.

Sha Koon fought on the world during the Battle of Giju during the Clone Wars. When the New Order was being formed, this planet was one of the earliest to fall under Imperial control. In particular, manufacturing centers and spaceports were taken over, spurring a violent, yet brief, rebellion by the natives. After the Herglic people suffered gross massacres for their armed resistance, they yielded to the Empire's rule.^[1]

Following the Battle of Endor and the establishment of the New Republic, Giju quickly joined the new galactic government.
