Cortilium Major

Cortilium Major was an astronomical object located in the Cortilium Major system, a part of the Eucer sector of the Mid Rim. During the Tionese War, waged between the Galactic Republic and the Honorable Union of Desevro & Tion, Cortilium Major was situated in the region known as the Divide and was settled by Republic colonists.

Shortly before the war's end around 23,900 BBY, a Tionese military force destroyed Republic settlements on the celestial body Okator VIII. One witness of the attack, a local farm boy–turned–Republic soldier, later narrated an account of the attack in a Baragwin sense lattice, noting that the Tionese could have just as well chosen as their target any of the other settled astronomical objects of the Divide, including Cortilium Major.
