Paarin Minor

"The Koorivar have done a good job with their weather machines. Whipped up one brute of a sky. We used the same tactic on Paarin Minor. Drew the Seps into fabricated clouds and blew them to the back of beyond."

- Clone Commander Salvo

History
During the Clone Wars, Paarin Minor was a stronghold of the Grand Army of the Republic and the headquarters of the Ninth Sector Army commanded by Moff Denn Wessex in 22 BBY. At some point between 22 and 19 BBY, the Confederacy of Independent Systems attempted to conquer the planet, but the Republic used a weather-generation machine to create an artificial cloud that hid its clone troopers from the Separatist forces. When the Separatists broke free of the cloud-screen, they were surprised by Republic fire and forced to flee after they sustained heavy casualties. After the end of the Clone Wars, Paarin Minor belonged to the territory of the newly-formed Galactic Empire. Until 17 ABY, it was under control of the Imperial Remnant.
