Affiliation

Thisspias was the rocky homeworld of the Thisspiasians. Its militant people were ruled by a Blood Monarch for millennia. The planet joined the fledgling Galactic Republic and remained a member until the Republic's fall.

These Blood Monarchs included Oppo Rancisis's mother and sister. When the latter was assassinated in the alcazar of Ramatesh, Rancisis refused the crown, which was taken by a male. This new Blood Monarch was defeated in personal combat by Rancisis, whom thus ensured the Thisspiasians loyalty to and assistance of the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars.

The Galactic Empire bombarded the planet and established an Imperial Governor, who killed the Blood Monarch and imprisoned the crown prince, subduing a local rebellion thereafter. The Rebel Alliance eventually freed the prince; for letting this happen, the Imperial Governor was assassinated by an Emperor's Hand. Thisspias was quarantined by the Empire until liberated by the New Republic after the Battle of Endor. The crown prince returned to his homeworld, but only managed to retake his throne after a brief civil war. Even after his victory, much of the populace viewed the monarchy as decadent and outdated.

Thisspias was also home to swarms of biting cygnat creatures.
