Description
Sif-Uwana was a planet[2] of the Sif-Uwana system, within the Colonies region of the galaxy.[1] The individuals native to Sif-Uwana were called the Sif-Uwani, known for their casual way to approach money and management. The world was ruled by the Sif-Uwana Council, an organization composed only of Sif-Uwani.[2]
History
Eventually falling within the Northern Dependencies, Sif-Uwana was under Alsakan control during the Alsakan Conflicts, but a few hundred years after the Fifth Alsakan Conflicts ended, the world fell within the Alsakan's opponents' grip, namely the Galactic Republic's.[3]
By 0 BBY, the thief Kels Turkhorn, had acquired a certified Sif-Uwana credit voucher.[4] At some point, the Emperor's Hand Mara Jade, traveled to the planet for business reasons,[2] under the orders of Emperor Palpatine, the leader of the dominant galactic government, the Galactic Empire,[5] which also controlled the territory Sif-Uwana fell in. Around 6 ABY, the smuggler Talon Karrde posed as a Sif-Uwani chief purchasing agent of the Sif-Uwani Council, during diplomatic negatiations on the world Kaal, claiming that the Sif-Uwani Council wished to set up their own harvesting operations on the Unis Islands.[6] Two years later, Karrde would pose again as the Sif-Uwani agent, during an investigation on the planet Varonat.[2]
