Orto Plutonia / Legends Orto Plutonia was a desolate icy planet in the Pantora system , home to the native Talz and a number of narglatches . It was considered a protectorate of the orbiting moon Pantora until the Clone Wars , when the Talz inhabitants were granted political supremacy by the Pantoran Assembly following a brief conflict with Galactic Republic forces . History . Orto Plutonia had long been a protectorate of the nearby Pantoran moon , after Pantoran scouts searched the world and declared it uninhabited . They had missed the Talz population , which lived in the ice canyons in villages carved out of the ice walls , filled with huts made from animal skins pulled over bone - frames . The Talz lived a simple existence , somehow subsisting off the harsh environment , and using the native narglatch cats as mounts and protection . It is unknown how or why that Talz clan colonized the planet ; Talz of Orto Plutonia were more aggressive and war - like than other members of their species who belonged to the galactic community . During the Clone Wars , the Pantoran Assembly requested that the Republic establish an outpost on Orto Plutonia to serve as an advanced warning station for any Separatist incursions . To that end , the Republic established Glid Station , a clone trooper outpost built within a massive ice spire . The Separatists too established a temporary base in the ice , and all this activity aggravated the Talz . When the Separatists discovered the Talz , they attacked them , but the Talz fought back . Glid Station got caught in the middle of the conflict , which ended in the Talz slaughter of all Separatists and Republic personnel on the planet . The Talz also left behind grim warnings against future trespassers - droid heads and clone helmets left perched atop spears . The Republic sent a task force to investigate , led by Jedi Anakin Skywalker and Obi - Wan Kenobi , assisted by a squad of clone cold assault troopers . The Pantoran side was represented by the Chairman Chi Cho and Senator Riyo Chuchi , whom the chairman brought along to have some measure of authority over the Jedi . Cho believed that the Separatists had attacked Glid Station , but the Jedi investigated the disappearance of their troopers and discovered the Talz village . They were welcomed as visitors to the chieftain ' s hut , and Talz leader Thi - Sen explained that the Talz simply wanted to be left alone on their world . Kenobi and Skywalker promised a peaceful negotiation with the Pantorans , but the chairman did not want to lose claim over Orto Plutonia . When it became an apparent that Orto Plutonia had a native population , Cho at first refused to believe it , and then later declared war to wipe out the Talz and keep the planet under Pantoran control . Before the Pantoran Assembly was able to intervene , Cho led a charge of clone troopers against the Talz , which went poorly and the Talz nearly overwhelmed Cho ' s forces , fatally wounding Cho in the process . Cho ' s violent gambit failed , and when he told reinforcements under Senator Chuchi to continue the war , he died in disbelief that the Assembly called his decision out of order . Senator Chuchi , backed by the Pantoran Assembly , ceded ownership of Orto Plutonia to the Talz , allowing them sovereignty over the planet . She withdrew the Republic and Pantoran presence from the world , leaving the Talz free to live their quiet life in their ice canyon villages .
