Corsin

Corsin was a beautiful Expansion Region planet located in the Greater Plooriod sector. Situated at the junction of the Hydian Way and Vaathkree Trade Corridor hyperspace routes, it had a warm climate in its tropical regions and was home to the large aquatic mammal selligore. The creatures fed on plants as well as small fish and plankton, and the Tinn'lyi nation, native to the planet's Tinn'lyi Islands, maintained a symbiotic relationship with them where the selligores were given gathered plants to eat in exchange for helping catch fish in large nets they dragged behind them.

Originally a subject world of the Infinite Empire, Corsin was raided by the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders during the conflict known as the Mandalorian Wars. Approximately three centuries later, the renowned bioanalyst Doctor Ronda was perished on Corsin when the shuttle he was on crash-landed. The Human future Jedi Nalia Adollu was born on the planet more than two millennia later. By 1004 BBY, Corsin had become a part of the Galactic Republic, and during the final phase of the New Sith Wars around that time, the Republic's Jedi Order was victorious over the Brotherhood of Darkness in an engagement at that world. Officers of the Republic's Planetary Security Forces met at the Corsin venue known as the Corsin Retreat after the Mandalorian Excision of 738 BBY to discuss best practices for coordinating action.

By the time of the Galactic Civil War, Corsin had become a liberal and free-thinking world that also hosted one of the most popular swoop races in the Greater Plooriod Cluster. While the reporter Voren Na'al was covering one such event, the Galactic Empire carried out a brutal subjugation of Corsin, with stormtroopers arresting Na'al and other journalists. While Na'al was spending three weeks in detention, Corsin's planetary government was replaced with a pro-Imperial regime.

The directives of Corsin's new government led to the infringement upon the natural habitats of the selligores. During the later fragmentation of the Empire, the planet fell within the territory controlled by Imperial warlord Zsinj, with the New Republic suffering a defeat there in 5 ABY. By 12 ABY, however, Corsin had been integrated into the New Republic's holdings, and a century later, the planet was a part of Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire.
