Abhean

Abhean was a planet located in the Mid Rim's Maldrood sector, on the Perlemian Trade Route. It was the farthest major world of the Galactic Republic during the Tionese War. At some point after the conflict began in 24,000 BBY, the Honorable Union of Desevro & Tion conquered Abhean. The planet saw fighting again in 15,480 BBY, when the Strontium Raid was carried out as part of the Second Alsakan Conflict. Around 15,000 BBY, Abhean became a major hub of the Republic Navy.

Large amounts of war matériel were stolen from Abhean by the Mandalorians during the Great Sith War of 3996 BBY, and the planet fell within the borders of Darth Revan's Sith Empire thirty years later. By 990 BBY, the large starship construction facility known as the Abhean Shipyards was located in the planet's orbit, and the massive Jedi Order praxeum ship Chu'unthor was built there in 400 BBY.

During the reign of the Galactic Empire, a creature known as taozin was supposedly discovered in a shipyard at Abhean, which piqued the interest of a former Jedi intending to use the Force-masking properties of the taozin's scales for protection. Abhean's shipyards were exploited by the Greater Maldrood dominion of the Imperial High Admiral Treuten Teradoc following the Battle of Endor, after which the planet became a part of the New Republic. During the Yuuzhan Vong War, the Abhean system was conquered by the extragalactic Yuuzhan Vong.
