Penn Pershing's homeworld

An astronomical object was the homeworld of former Imperial scientist Penn Pershing. Pershing grew up in a town where his mother was a doctor. Pershing's homeworld was limited in resources and lacked simple organ cloning technology, which resulted in his mother dying from heart failure, encouraging Pershing to begin studying cloning, determined not to let anyone suffer her fate ever again. Pershing eventually left his homeworld, and by 8 ABY he was serving Gideon's Imperial remnant in Nevarro. In around 9 ABY, Pershing recounted the story of his mother's passing and his childhood on his homeworld before a crowd in Coruscant's Galaxies Opera House as part of his participation in the New Republic Amnesty Program.
