Tallaan was a planet in Tapani Sector's Freeworlds Region at the confluence of the Giju Passage, the Procopian Shipping Lane, and the Shapani Bypass. It was best known for its starship production.
Tallaan was a voting member of the League of Tapani Freeworlds.
[edit] History
In 4,000 BBY the Talaani Shipyards were established in orbit around the planet. Tallaan would remain a prime manufacturer of starships throughout the centuries of Republic rule and retained its facilities during the reign of Emperor Palpatine.
After the destruction of the first Death Star in 0 ABY, the New Order Progressive reported that Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin and his staff died in a shuttle accident at the Shipyards here, rather than over Yavin.
Tallaan was also the home to the 1st Tapani Assault Battlegroup.
The planet was not attacked by the Yuuzhan Vong during their invasion, and, following the First Battle of Coruscant, New Republic Admiral Garm Bel Iblis made his headquarters there, protecting the sector while operating independently until a decisive engagement at Ebaq 9.
In 40 ABY, Tallaan was developing and manufacturing warships for the Bothan government, to be used in the Confederation's war against the Galactic Alliance.
