The Vesarians were the inhabitants of the Vesari system.[1] At some point before 18 BBY, a group of Vesarian students had matriculated to Imperial City University. When they were deemed dissidents by the Galactic Empire, the Imperial Sector Police under the leadership of a centurion stepped in and killed at least some of the dissidents. Pol Haus, the prefect in charge, later deemed the incident the actions of "rogue elements." The centurion was detained to await trial for the events.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
The Vesarians are mentioned in Coruscant Nights II: Street of Shadows, a novel written by Michael Reaves and published by Del Rey in 2008. The novel fails to indicate whether Vesarian refers to a sentient species, a planetary demonym, or some other social group.[2]

- ↑ The Essential Atlas and Galactic Cartography: Official Discussion (post by jasonfry) on the Jedi Council Forums' Literature board (December 11, 2007): "I wouldn't get your hopes up re alien homeworlds, beyond simple stuff like the Planetnamian species getting a Planetnamia on the map or things Dan and I can account for with a relatively quick reference." (backup link) (screenshot) Jason Fry, co-author of The Essential Atlas, stated his intention to create homeworlds for numerous species based on context implied from their names. The Vesari system appears to be the location of one such world.
