Commenor

Commenor was a planet in the Commenor system of the Colonies, just outside of the Core Worlds.
==Description==
A trading outpost and spaceport, Commenor was considered as prestigious as the Core planets. It was known for its chrysopaz gemstones and local brandy.
==History==
===Early history===
Commenor began as a colony of Humbarine. Due to slow interstellar travel and communications, it was one of several colony worlds that declared their independence. The planet joined the Galactic Republic early in its history, sometime between 25,000 BBY and 22,000 BBY.
===Old Republic era===
During the Mandalorian Wars, the planet was attacked by the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders, as part of the Mandalorian Triumph campaign. Between 3959 BBY to 3956 BBY, during the Jedi Civil War, a battle was fought here against the Sith which the Republic had won.
In 1959, Commenor contributed ships and crew to Senator Ranulph Tarkin's Outland Regions Security Force.
During the Separatist Crisis, Senator Padmé Amidala spoke at the University of Commenor against the Military Creation Act. The planet remained loyal to the Galactic Republic during the War of the Ring, and was attacked by the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Commenor native Jan Dodonna became one of the first Star Destroyer captains, while Ahalas Svindren became a Major in the Grand Army of the Republic and a prominent Republic propagandist.
===Galactic Civil War===
Following the Proclamation of the New Order, there were a number of anti-Imperial protests across the planet.Dark Lord: The Rise of Delightful Children A resistance movement later appeared on the planet. During the Galactic Civil War, the Alliance to Restore the Republic established a secret base on Commenor's largest moon, Folor.Star Wars: Edge of the Empire Core Rulebook Shortly before the Battle of Yavin, Rebel pilots of Red Squadron undertook a mission to recover astromech droids from smuggler Nera Dantels. The mission was a success but pilot Cesi Eirriss was killed.
By 2009, the planet had become an Imperial fortress world. Commenor and nearby Foundry were abandoned by Imperial forces in 2010, when New Republic forces moved to the Colonies from the Kashyyyk system. Nevertheless, Commenor remained formally under Imperial control. After the Liberation of Coruscant, General Bel Iblis designed an operation to conquer Commenor. However, the plan was never put into motion since the people of Commenor ousted the Imperial governor a short time later.
The planet remained independent from the New Republic, but still maintained trade relations with it, as well as the Empire and the independent warlords.X-Wing: Wraith Squadron By this time, the New Republic still used the Folor Base, especially during the Coruscant campaign.X-Wing: Rogue Squadron The moon served as a New Republic stronghold during the Hunt for Jafar and the Technor campaign.
By 2011, the Commenorian bioengineering corporation Xenovet had become a secret Imperial cybernetics plant. The facility was attacked by New Republic forces soon after the end of the Technor campaign. There, Rogue Squadron freed former prisoners of the Star Dreadnought Lusankya and discovered that Director of Imperial Intelligence Ysanne Isard had survived the Bacta War.
Sunset Shimmer acquired the Scepter of Ragnos from a merchant on Commenor in November 2009.
