Chazwa/Legends

"At a guess, I'd say neither of us is going to get much business done at Chazwa this time around."

- Gillespee to Talon Karrde

Chazwa was a cold planet in the Chazwa system of the Orus Sector, located in the Inner Rim. Its location along a popular freighter traffic route made it an ideal shipping center for all sorts of goods. As such, heavy freighter traffic within the system was not an uncommon sight. However, the abundance of valuable merchandise moving through the system lended itself to strong influence by smugglers.

History
Chazwa joined the Galactic Republic early in its history, sometime between 25,000 BBY and 22,000 BBY.

The planet didn't secede during the Clone Wars.

During the later years of the Galactic Empire, the Interdictor cruiser Rampart was assigned to the system to reduce smuggling in the area.

By 4 ABY, Chazwa had become an Imperial fortress world. The Empire abandoned the planet in 5 ABY. The planet joined the New Republic sometime between 5 ABY and 7 ABY. It was a New Republic stronghold during the Zsinj campaign but was lost during the Thrawn Campaign, in 9 ABY.

During his campaign, Grand Admiral Thrawn tricked the New Republic into believing Chazwa was one of his clone sources.

The planet later returned under New Republic control but was conquered by the Empire during Operation Shadow Hand.

Behind the scenes
The PC game Star Wars: Rebellion mistakenly places the Orus Sector and, consequently, Chazwa, in the Outer Rim Territories.
