Pantora

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

Pantora was a moon of Orto Plutonia, a planet located in the Pantora system. It was a member of the Galactic Republic and had a full Senatorial representation on Coruscant.

[edit] History

Pantora had a democratically elected government, presided over by the Pantoran Assembly and in turn led by the Chairman. During the Clone Wars, the manipulative Chi Cho at the time ruled over Pantora as chairman. The moon was represented in Galactic Senate by the young female Senator Riyo Chuchi. An influential world, Pantora was able to request and receive a Republic outpost within its system as a measure of protection against the CIS forces during the Clone Wars.

Initially thought to be the only inhabited world in the system, Pantora orbited the ice world of Orto Plutonia, which was a protectorate of the Pantorans and—unknown to them—a home to a Talz colony. When the existence of Talz was discovered, the planet was granted sovereignty—though Chairman Cho fiercely opposed the measure and started a war with the Talz. But senator Chuchi intervened at the behest of the Pantoran Assembly and, in respect of the Talz's wishes to be left alone, she recalled the Pantoran and Republic presence from the ice world and returned to Pantora.
