Ammuud

A cold planet with a short rotation located in the Corporate Sector, Ammuud was ruled by seven major clans operating under Corporate Sector Authority subcontract.

History
The seven clans (the House Glayyd, Reesbon clan, Tikeris clan, Owphrin clan, Melchett clan, Almowri clan, and the Odoon clan) were ruled by patriarchs called "Mors" and governed by a set of formal rules known as the Code of Ammuud.

Ammuud was first colonized approximately 10,000 BBY by settlers from Thokos, and each of the seven original colony ships formed the basis of Ammuud's seven clans. The colonists were eventually forgotten by their homeworld, and the clans evolved into quarrelling nation-states, continually testing each other in an endless series of savage battles. Circa 100 BBY, the clans called a truce, and formed the Code of Ammuud to govern their future conduct.

Ammuud's main spaceport was a well-defended structure built adjacent to a snow-capped mountain range. People of all types inhabited the surrounding city, which was composed of wood and stone buildings, slums, and open gutters. Animal life on Ammuud included herds of grazers, flying pterosaurs, and crustaceans in the mountains' icy lakes.

During one of his early adventures, Han Solo visited the mountain stronghold of the Mor Glayyd to collect money due him, and encountered the infamous gunman Gallandro. Six years after the Battle of Endor, reeling from the destruction of their command base on Nespis VIII, the New Republic scattered its command ships and fighter units across the galaxy. One of them, the fleet transport Vindicator carrying Luke Skywalker and his Jedi trainees, was stationed out beyond Ammuud.
