Qiilura system

The Qiilura system was a star system located in the Qiilura sector, within the region of the galaxy known as the Mid Rim. Orbiting a single star, the Qiilura system contained the eponymous agricultural world of Qiilura, and was situated along the Entralla Route and Celanon Spur hyperlanes.

At the start of the galaxy-spanning Clone Wars, waged between the clone armies of the Galactic Republic and the droid forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Qiilura and its system were under the control of exploitative Neimoidian traders. In the aftermath of a Republic special forces mission to capture a Confederacy scientist on Qiilura, the Qiilura system became host to a Republic military presence that was eventually forced to evict and resettle the planet's Human colonists elsewhere, in accordance with a deal that had been struck with the indigenous gurlanins. Though many colonists complied peacefully, hostilities eventually broke out on the agriworld's surface between resisting farmers and the Republic clone troopers meant to oversee the evacuation. The Confederacy later attempted to annex the Qiilura system. While a Republic fleet bearing the forces of Clone Commander Wolffe's 104th Battalion was dispatched to intervene, the 104th was then recalled to the mercy mission to Aleen.

Following the Republic's transformation into the Galactic Empire, the Qiilura system fell under Imperial control. Years later, when the extragalactic species known as the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, Qiilura and surrounding space was claimed as part of the Yuuzhan Vong's territory.
