Loronar was the headquarters of Loronar Corporation and the site of the Loronar shipyards.
History[]
Like its neighbor Byblos, Loronar was colonized by Corellian settlers before the founding of the Galactic Republic. Both worlds later declared their independence from Corellia.[3]
During the Galactic Civil War, a large Imperial presence was felt, as many small bases existed. Many of these bases were defended by missile turrets, TIE interceptor squadrons, and AT-PT walkers.[source?] The Rebel Alliance attacked one of the small bases on the Jade Moon during a raid. Using the X-wing Starfighter, Rogue Squadron provided air support for Crix Madine's commando unit. The raid destroyed a small base used for critical Imperial operations.[5]
By 4 ABY, the planet had become an Imperial fortress world.[3]
Loronar joined the New Republic after its liberation and contributed to the Galactic Civil War by producing starships for the New Republic.[4]
