Ruuria, on the Hydian Way, was the homeworld of the insectoid Ruurians. The planet was located near the Corporate Sector. It featured tropical jungles, manufacturing centers, and universities. Ruuria was a member of the Unified Ruurian Colonies.
The Ruurians' society was made up of 143 colonies,[6] and every Ruurian belonged to a single colony for life.
History[]
During the Jedi Civil War, Ruuria aligned with the Sith Empire.[3] Nearly 300 years later, in 3681 BBY, the Sith Empire established a puppet government on Ruuria which then helped scatter the Republic Navy forces in the Tingel Arm campaign.[2]
During the Clone Wars, Ruuria remained a loyalist world.[3]
It briefly surrendered to the Imperial Remnant when Thrawn seemingly returned from the dead in 19 ABY.[7]
During the Yuuzhan Vong War, Ruuria was conquered by the Yuuzhan Vong though they left the natives alone after learning about their life stages and habits.[source?]
