Ralltiir/Legends

Ralltiir was a planet along the Perlemian Trade Route, along with several others, including Chandrila. The Black Sun leader Alexi Garyn had his base on Ralltiir, but he was murdered by Darth Maul in 32 BBY. Later that year, Maul took out a Bartokk fortress on the planet.

During the Galactic Civil War, an uprising on the planet was suppressed by Lord Tion, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. The planet was invaded and bombarded by Imperial Star Destroyers in an attempt to capture scientists for their weapons research. The Rebel Alliance sent Commander Luke Skywalker and his Rogue Squadron to intervene. They succeeded in stopping the Imperials and escaped with the scientists (see Blockade at Ralltiir).

Ralltiir was the first world liberated from the Empire by the New Republic.

The planet was known for its marble quarries, farming communities, and medical centers. It was the headquarters of Ralltiir Securities, Ralltiir Consolidated Marble, and Xwizi Marble.

During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, Ralltiir accepted millions of refugees from conquered worlds. As the alien invaders took more territory, Leia Organa Solo pleaded with the Ralltiir government to accept more refugees. However, the Ralltiir government, fearing an invasion, refused to accept more refugees.

Eventually, Ralltiir itself was conquered by the alien invaders and its inhabitants were enslaved. During the assault on Coruscant, Ralltiiri captives were among those that the Yuuzhan Vong flew in suicide attacks to destroy the capital's shields. Ralltiir was used by the invaders as a colony world throughout the invasion.

Behind the Scenes
