Sluis Van/Legends

Sluis Van was the primary planet in the Sluis Sector of the Outer Rim and the homeworld of the Sluissi race. It was the site of an extensive deep-space docking facility and shipyard, the largest and most impressive in the area. The leader of Sluis Van was called a khedive.

History
The Sluissi were long supporters of the Galactic Republic, and they were disgusted at the great injustices done during its final years. The planet was represented in the Galactic Senate by Bor Gracus and then Corlissi Ludar until 22 BBY, when Sluis Van seceded shortly before the Clone Wars. During the Clone Wars, Sluis Van was a Separatist stronghold. At the end of the Clone Wars, Sluis Van, as well as many other Confederate worlds were placed in sieges, but Sluis Van held off the Republic. However, civilians didn't fare well, as mass starvation broke out on the planet as a result of the Outer Rim Sieges.



The Galactic Empire took control of the planet, and was never popular; Sluis Van joined the New Republic shortly after the death of Emperor Palpatine.

During the Thrawn Campaign, this planet was the site of a battle with Grand Admiral Thrawn during his campaign against the New Republic.

During the Yuuzhan Vong War, the world and its shipyards were crucial to keeping the New Republic supplied with new warships. Following the loss of Fondor, additional units of the New Republic Navy, including several carriers, were deployed to the region for added protection, when Sluis Van took over Fondor's operations. It went on to be a key world in the Galactic Alliance. During the Second Corellian Insurrection, it was feared that its shipyards would be a target for the forces of the newly formed Confederation.
