Due to the wealth of Vorzyd V , the Vorzyd system was an important part of the Commonality , a confederacy of nine sectors centered around the trading world of Columex . Vorzyd V had a democratic government with a Prime Minister , and while the planet had no major exports , it received imports including consumer goods , industrial goods , and foodstuffs . Efavan , the capital city of Vorzyd V , hosted a number of lavish casinos , which were marketed by holographic advertisements in the world ' s orbital traffic lanes . History . Once a colony world of the people of Vorzyd IV , the Vorzydiak s 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 , the Prime Minister of Vorzyd V was Kalasaad Woztu . During the Clone Wars , the Vorzyd system was within space controlled by the Confederacy of Independent Systems . 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 , President Natala Vanden 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 . In 4 ABY , the Vorzyd system fell within the boundaries of the Greater Maldrood , a section of space that was fortified by Admiral Treuten Teradoc during the disorder that followed the Battle of Endor . In 8 ABY , under pressure from a New Republic campaign , Teradoc abandoned his territories , including the area surrounding Vorzyd V , which were then annexed by the Galactic Empire . In 9 ABY , Vorzyd V was outside of the core territory of the shrinking Empire , but it was within space affiliated with Grand Admiral Thrawn during his campaign against the New Republic . By 27 ABY , during their invasion of the galaxy , the Yuuzhan Vong had taken control of the Vorzyd system . By 137 ABY , Vorzyd V was within space claimed by the Empire of Darth Krayt .
