Salliche

Salliche was an agriworld located in the Core Worlds of the galaxy. It provided crops to other worlds in the region like Coruscant. While it was being ravaged by Norkronian raiders, Salliche's Senator Bulgeski called for the Republic Guard of the Galactic Republic to intervene, although not long after he argued against similar support for other worlds in 42 BBY. In 3 ABY, the Galactic Empire was victorious in operations on Salliche with no civilian casualties.
==Description==
The planet Salliche was an agriworld located in the Core Worlds region of the galaxy at coordinates K-10 on the Standard Galactic Grid. It was home to the Sallichen people.
==History==
Salliche was a member of the Galactic Republic and was represented in the Galactic Senate by the Sallichen Senator Bulgeski. It acted as the breadbasket of the Core Worlds, providing crops for planets such as the Republic capital, Coruscant. When the world was ravaged by Norkronian raiders, Bulgeski called for the Republic Guard to intervene before the Senate.
Not long after this in 42 BBY,Dooku: Jedi Lost places Dooku and Bulgeski's exchange shortly before Dooku leaves the Jedi Order, which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 42 BBY., Jedi Master Dooku spoke on behalf of the Jedi Order before the senate and advised them not to make cuts to the Republic's trade route defense program; however, Bulgeski objected to the Jedi's attempt to influence the senate. Dooku then reminded those present of Bulgeski's recent call for the Republic Guard to aid his own planet and suggested the residents of the Outer Rim Territories should recieve the same protection. Bulgeski argued Salliche's importance in providing for the other Core Worlds, but Dooku retorted that there were agriworlds in the Outer Rim that could provide the same support and perhaps it was their competition that Salliche feared. Bulgeski called this a scandalous accusation before Supreme Chancellor Kalpana dismissed Dooku's advice.
In 14 BBY,Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of Tarkin to 14 BBY. a frigate in the Imperial Navy of the Galactic Empire, successor state of the Republic, shared its name with Salliche.Tarkin In 3 ABY,Star Wars Outlaws the Empire carried out operations on Salliche where it claimed to be victorious with no civilian casualties. This was covered in a broadcast of the HoloNet News by reporter Dorna Parros, who called the operations an unqualified success.
