Sluis Van/Legends

Sluis Van was the primary planet in the Sluis Sector and homeworld of the Sluissi. It was the site of an extensive deep-space docking facility and shipyard, the largest and most impressive in the area.

The Sluissi were long supporters of the Galactic Republic, and they were disgusted at the great injustices done during its final years. When Count Dooku formed the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Sluis Van was one of the first to join. During the Clone Wars, Sluis Van was a Separatist stronghold. The 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 Galactic Civil War, this planet was the site of a battle with Grand Admiral Thrawn during his campaign against the New Republic.
