Nouane (Allied Region)

Nouane was an Allied Region located in the Inner Rim. A semi-independent government of 212 star systems located in the area of space known as the Northern Dependencies, Nouane was once a mini-empire, one of countless territories that existed during the early years of the Galactic Republic. The region's capital planet was also named Nouane.

After the nomadic Mandalorian warriors attacked the planet Nouane in 3963 BBY, during the Mandalorian Wars, the Nouanese people petitioned the Republic for assistance. As a result, the region became an Allied Region affiliated with the Republic and governed by a Moff or Grand Moff. Nouane held this distinction into the years of the Galactic Empire that replaced the Republic, and the region became a steadfast supporter of Emperor Palpatine's regime as an Imperial client state. When the Empire fell, Nouane chose to declare independence rather than become a member of the emerging New Republic.
