Tawassa Planet

Tawassa Planet orbited Tawassa Star in the of the Outer Rim Territories. It was considered an insignificant world by the few sentients who bothered to know it existed but it was a nominal member of both the Galactic Republic and the Empire before it joined the New Republic.

History
The planet was opened to settlers in 529 BBY and a few adventurous settlers arrived from the neighboring sectors. Wroth Montresso was killed in Tawassa City in 457 BBY and the planet banned offworlders from carrying weapons shortly after. In 117 BBY several hundred arrived and there was brief speculation that a new wave of settlement would soon occur but it never happened. During the Clone Wars there was a skirmish in the nearby Vlueri system and the populace feared the war would reach them but they remained safe. The only change on the planet after the rise of the Empire was the establishment of an Imperial recruitment office in Tawassa City. A New Republic diplomat named Gorelot Sermakk persuaded the world to join in 5 ABY.
