Abrion Major/Legends

Abrion Major was a planet in the Abrion Major system of the Abrion sector within the Outer Rim of the galaxy. Its galactic coordinates were S-15. As a Galactic Republic agriworld, among the planet's main responsabilities was the supply of food to other Republic-affiliated planets.

In 22 BBY, just before the start of the Clone Wars, a large conflict between Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems, Abrion Major was directly represented in the Galactic Senate by senator Esu Rotsino. Due to the planet's ag-producers living for decades with few options and limited control of the goods they provided, Rotsino announced to the Senate that Abrion Major and the entire Abrion sector had decided to secede from the Republic and into the Separatists. As a result, the Senate saw many pleas for aid, since many planets relied on supplies from the sector.
