Ansion / Legends Ansion was a planet in the Mid Rim near Vortex and Bilbringi , located on the Namadii Corridor . History . Discovered sometime after 3000 BBY and before the Galactic Republic ' s Ruusan Reformation , the world joined the Galactic Senate and maintained a relatively humble existence within the government . Seemingly unimportant , the world helped found the Malarian Alliance in 42 BBY , alongside Dbari , Malari and Mamendin , which secured Ansion ' s trade and security . Later , it signed the Keitumite Mutual Military Treaty , tying the planet to Keitum , Mondress , Lonnaw , Dorin , Eeropha , and Glom Tho . Represented in the Senate by Senator Mousul during the Separatist Crisis , Ansion was being eyed by Commerce Guild President e Shu Mai , for if it could be made to secede , the other worlds tied to it could also fall to the Confederacy of Independent Systems . Inciting a border dispute between the Unity of Community government and the nomadic Alwari , Presidente Mai began to strain the world ' s relationship with the other signers of the treaty . Before the plot could unfold , the Jedi High Council dispatched Jedi Master Luminara Unduli , Knight Obi - Wan Kenobi , and their Padawans Barriss Offee and Anakin Skywalker to negotiate peace . The Separatists hired local Bossban Soergg the Hutt to help induce riots and conflict between the Ansari and the Unity Council , but when the Jedi appeared , he was forced to turn to more brutal techniques . Hiring thugs to track the Jedi , his men harried the four peacekeepers into the foothills , where they found shelter among the native tribesmen . Eventually the Jedi were able to restore peace between both nations and the Unity Council voted to remain with the Republic . Padawan Offee confronted Soergg the Hutt with evidence that he was connected with the Separatists , but all evidence was circumstantial and no charges were brought against him . Joining the Galactic Empire following its rise from the ashes of the Republic , Emperor Palpatine appointed a Moff who dissolved all existing treaties and alliances , guaranteeing that a threat to Imperial security could not arise amongst the obscure worlds . Shortly after Battle of Yavin , the Galactic Empire prepared a massive attack on Ansion , a civilian target . The Empire suspected the planet ' s population of harboring Alliance assets or at least Rebel sympathizers . The charge was intended to permanently silence the growing Rebellion on the planet . Information on the preemptive strike was retrieved by Lieutenant Deena Shan during the attack on Bannistar Station . In response , Admiral Ackbar sent fighter squadrons , including Dagger Squadron , to the Ansion system to warn their allies of the impending assault . Taken by Grand Admiral Mitth ' raw ' nuruodo during his northern campaign , the world was overrun by the Yuuzhan Vong during the Yuuzhan Vong War and its inhabitants enslaved . Freed by the Imperial Remnant in 29 ABY , the world remained in Imperial space throughout the Second Galactic Civil War . Geography and wildlife . Ansion was a world of rolling plains , grassy fields , and wide valleys . Due to the high winds that swept the planet ' s surface , the extensive animal life on the world adapted to ride the winds or withstand it on the ground . Mammals such as the mountable suubatar and sadain , the domesticated surepp , the enormous lorqual and the predatory shanh , were all built with thick hides and strong legs to propel them along the windswept grasslands . The ongun - nur adapted to the skies with large wings , allowing it to ride the air currents with ease . Other bizarre creatures include the water - dwelling , community - minded gairk , which captured unwitting victims by working in succinct with other members of its species . The kyren swarms were known to darken the skies over the valleys , as they moved about the world . Plant life on the world was largely limited to low - standing shrubs and grasses , though there were small stands of trees dotting the landscape . A uniquely adapted creature was the tumbleweed - like plant called the Chawix , which used its many spiky growths to impale its prey as the wind carried it . Aside from the plains , volcanic vents often times opened up on the surface , billowing ash and smoke into the sky .
