Milano

Milano was a terrestrial planet located in the Milano sector of the Inner Rim Territories. It was the homeworld of the native population of humans known as Milanians. During the last years of the Galactic Republic, Milano was pushed to the forefront of galactic politics as the Royal House of Milano remained in alignment with the Republic in its war effort against the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Notable dignitaries such as King Bale Andros and Senator Ladan Duran represented the interests of the Milanian people, seeking a peaceful resolution to the Clone Wars. However, with the end of the war and the Republic's transformation into the Galactic Empire, there was a political debacle and civil unrest as Milano entered economic turmoil. As King Andros' office term came to an end, Tyr Valamar was elected to take his place with the promise of restoring Milano to its former glory. He was one of the few on Milano who believed in the Empire's promise of bringing peace and order to the galaxy, and therefore, petitioned for Imperial governorship over Milano.
By 5 BBY, the Empire's occupation of Milano was contested by the Milano Resistance, and after receiving support from the Phantom Cell, the rebels attracted the attention of Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin and Fleet Admiral Erend Kane. With Kane's 2nd Fleet, the two imposed a planet-wide lockdown to entrap the Phantom Cell, but they were able to relocate the Milano Resistance and slip through the blockade. In 3 BBY, the Phantom Cell participated in the attack on the Cayden Royal Palace with the Milano Resistance, resulting in the death of Valamar, but the Resistance Commander Garus Pallon was captured and held prisoner in the Imperial Complex. Afterwards, Kane and Moff Porsha Odom took advantage of the attack to encourage the citizens of Milano to stand with the Empire against the growing rebellion.
== Behind the scenes ==
When creating the homeworld of the character who would become Kenan Verso, the planet was supposed to be a small, rocky, backwater planet in the Outer Rim, similar to Tatooine, called "Teluma." However, its name was changed to Milano and its landscape was changed as well, inspired by Naboo's greenery and high-class. The name Milano derives from the real-world city of Milan, Italy, the regional capital of Lombardy. The name was also inspired by the ship owned by Peter Quill called the Milano in the 2014 Marvel Comics film Guardians of the Galaxy. Milano will first appear in the upcoming film Star Wars: Return of the Sith, the first installment in the Legacy saga, as the site of the wedding for Keleran Verso and Hela Naterrie.
