Svivren/Legends

"No Hutts, no Jawas. This is already better than Tatooine."

- Mara Jade

Svivren was the Svivreni homeworld, an Outer Rim Territories world not too far from the planet Andasala. Despite the harsh nature of the mountainous world and its severe seasonal variation, Svivren became an important trading port, and its population of more than eight billion included large colonies of Humans, Sullustans and, by 9 ABY, Ewoks. The source of Svivren's Ewok population is unknown. The importance of trade was reflected in the planet's Festival of Great Trade.

The planet was directly represented in the Galactic Senate, and it remained completely neutral during the Galactic Civil War. Svivreni law forbid the presence of any personal weapons, and any violent acts resulted in immediate execution; its well-armed security forces (apparently exempt from the law) carried out these harsh codes efficiently.

The planet was divided into a northern and a southern district. The northern district was experiencing an anti-Imperial rebellion as of 4 ABY. The southern district as a result had fewer troops and of less quality. The southern garrison was commanded by High General Touno, who resided in the southern district's capital of Wrils.

During the Thrawn campaign, Imperial forces attempted to subjugate the planet, but the notoriously stubborn Svivreni resisted occupation and siege efforts, and doggedly refused to submit to Imperial rule.

The planet was home to the Svivren Xenomineralogy Institute, which graduated fine mining foremen and metallurgists.
