Kinyen / Legends Kinyen was an agriworld in the Expansion Region , located on the Corellian Trade Spine at the junction to the Great Gran Run . It was the Gran home world , with a recorded history dating back to 10 , 000 BBY . Though it was an outpost of the violent Rakata during the Pre - Republic era , during its recorded history , the planet has had no local wars . At the time of the Clone Wars , Senator Kharrus represented Kinyen in the Galactic Senate . Description . The planet itself boasted many differing climates , large and rolling grasslands , a dense and beautiful forest , and one of the longest and clearest rivers in the Bes Ber Bikade sector . The beauty of this planet , which boasted almost no natural predators , helped the Gran develop strong bonds of home and family in their race . With such close bonds formed throughout the Gran community , it was not surprising that they concentrated their cities into very small areas , so they were never out of touch with their many relatives . Often times , families would adopt the native Houjix as pets . These cities , while hosting a majority of the population of Kinyen , also hosted the small government of the Gran . The government was a loose group of delegates from the major Gran families who usually control different aspects of Gran society . One delegate is selected randomly every three and a half standard years to be the leader of this group . It is only due to the very peaceful sensibilities of the Gran race that this system worked at all . Indeed , in most of recorded history there had never been a major conflict between Grans . The Kinyen government was a socialist demarchy , based on community and codependence . Poverty and unemployment on the planet were almost eliminated , and its inhabitants were guaranteed access to one of the best health care systems in the galaxy . The government of the Gran controlled many aspects of Gran society for a very long time . Mostly the Gran have accepted this government , the one exception being the Gran colonies on Hok and Malastare . Feeling they were destroying too many families , and diluting the Gran race , the government asked all Gran to stay on Kinyen . This protected the Gran society , but it also isolated them from the Gran on Hok and Malastare . History . During the Clone Wars , Kinyen was a member world of the Confederacy of Independent Systems . From their position at Kinyen , the Separatists advanced along the Trade Spine to Bomis Koori , meeting resistance from the 19th Sector Army . Under the Galactic Empire , the Gran became less influential and powerful . On one occasion , the Imperials leveled one of Kinyen ' s cities after the Gran refused to allow them access to all parts of Kinyen . This forced the Gran of Kinyen to collaborate with the Empire . Some Gran during the Imperial era secretly supported the Rebel Alliance , usually by peaceful means such as supplying food to the Rebels . Most Gran disapproved of violent revolt , however , and even Rebel sympathizers insisted that no military actions were acceptable on their home world . Eventually , Kinyen would be liberated by the New Republic . The planet joined the New Republic sometime between 4 ABY and 9 ABY . It was a New Republic stronghold during the Thrawn campaign . Behind the scenes . The PC game " " mistakenly places Kinyen in the Farfin sector ( a misspelling of the true Farrfin sector ) of the Core Worlds .
