[edit] History

Sanctuary was first settled by religious pacifists escaping conscription and later became one of the Rebel Alliance's first safe worlds. After Mon Mothma proclaimed the Declaration of Rebellion, the leaders of Sanctuary agreed to support the Alliance on one condition: none of their people would have to take up arms in the conflict. Mon Mothma agreed, and Sanctuary became the new home for thousands of refugees and Rebel sympathizers.[2]

The people of Sanctuary also supported the Rebel Alliance by exporting the riches of their oceans. Though their population was small, and they only used hand-woven nets and steam-powered wooden boats, they exported tons of fish and other seafood to the Alliance. They also harvested seaweed which was processed into cloth (though many Rebels complained that the resulting uniforms had a lingering fishy smell.)[2]
