Tar Morden was a planet[4] located in the Tar Morden system, within the Vensensor sector of the galaxy's Expansion Region,[1] along the Corellian Trade Spine.[2] It was the site of a Confederacy of Independent System facility that manufactured LM-432 crab droids.[4] These Techno Union factories were taken by the Galactic Republic during the Battle of Tar Morden at the end of the Clone Wars,[3] and tens of thousands of crab droids were captured. These droids were eventually used in live-fire stormtrooper training exercises[5] at the Imperial Academy on the planet Carida.[3]
Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, the Alliance to Restore the Republic established a starfighter manufacturing enterprise on Tar Morden.[4] Information about this enterprise was gathered by Imperial Intelligence, which sent it in a Plexus Droid Vessel to the Vensensor sector's Imperial Intelligence Sector HQ. Rebels intercepted this vessel, which self destructed, ejecting its I2-CG storage and transceiving droid, which landed on Goratak III.[6]
Behind the scenes[]
The Expansion Region map in The Essential Atlas refers to the system as "Tar Mordren," though the appendix of the book uses the existing spelling.
