Vorzyd V, also known as the Gambler's World, was a planet in the Vorzyd system of the Outer Rim Territories.

HistoryEdit

Once a colony world of the people of Vorzyd IV, the Vorzydiaks that lived there gave all their physical work over to labor droids, valuing leisure and games over hard work.

Around 39 BBY, the people of Vorzyd V began to build the casinos and amusement parks for which their world would later become famous. During this time, the citizens of Vorzyd IV accused the people of Vorzyd V of sabotaging their monitoring systems and factories. After investigation by the two Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, it was found to be caused by the Freelies, a youth movement native to Vorzyd IV.

The Jedi Padawan Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy, better known as "Scout" was born on Vorzyd V in 34 BBY. In 22 BBY, its Prime Minister was Kalasaad Woztu.

During the New Order, the heavy taxation and strict gaming laws of the Galactic Empire began to weigh heavily upon the people of Vorzyd V. Due to this, the President of the Gambler's World became a Rebel Alliance sympathizer and set up a meeting with Luke Skywalker to begin negotiations for their defection to the Rebel Alliance.
