Parliament of Moralan

The Parliament of Moralan was the ruling body of the Moralan species' republic which was founded after the species freed themselves from slavery to the Hutt species. The species freed themselves with encouragement from the Tionese, enemies of the Hutts from the Tion Hegemony, and the parliament had been formed by the time of Second Battle of Vontor during the Hutt–Xim conflict, a war between the Tionese and the Hutts. At the time of the battle the Tionese had forces present in the Moralan system where Moralan, the Moralan homeworld, was located but shortly afterwards they withdrew. With the Tionese gonem a Hutt named Boonta Hestilic Shad'ruu attacked the republic and conquered it, driving the Moralans to extinction and so destroying the parliament. The battle lasted three days and was celebrated in the three-day holiday collectively known as Boonta's Eve, named after the hero of the battle.
