Commenor/Legends

"I tell you, Hobbie, nothing Dodonna said prepared me for the sight of all those ships. Commenor must be some major-league trading planet...Made me feel like a real rube from Tatooine."

- Biggs Darklighter

Commenor was a planet in the Commenor system of the Colonies, just outside of the Core Worlds.

History
A trading outpost and spaceport, Commenor was considered as prestigious as the Core planets. It was known for its crysopaz gemstones and local brandy.

In 44 BBY, Commenor contributed ships and crew to Senator Ranulph Tarkin's paramilitary force.



Shortly before the Clone Wars, Senator Padmé Amidala spoke at the University of Commenor against the Military Creation Act. The planet remained loyal to the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars, and native Jan Dodonna was one of the first Star Destroyer captains. Following the Declaration of a New Order, there were a number of anti-Imperial protests across the planet.

After the Battle of Endor, Commenor declared its independence from the Empire, but still maintained trade relations with them, as well as the New Republic and the independent warlords. They did not join the New Republic until after the defeat of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Tavion Axmis acquired the Scepter of Ragnos from a merchant on Commenor in 14 ABY. Fyor Rodan served in the New Republic Senate during the Yuuzhan Vong War, during which time the Yuuzhan Vong conquered the world.

In 40 ABY, Commenor became allied with Corellia in the Confederation-Galactic Alliance War. By that time Fyor Rodan was its Prime Minister. Matric Klauskin served it as an admiral. It sent a fleet to repulse the Blockade of Corellia. Later, at the height of the Confederation-Galactic Alliance War, Commenor contributed a fleet of Star Destroyers equipped with new turbolaser technology to the Confederation war effort. It later came under attack.
