Illarreen

Illarreen was an Outer Rim Territories planet located in the Herios sector. It was the homeworld of the sentient Poss'Nomin species, who originally evolved on the planet's island continent Vhin. After climate change transformed their habitat into a wasteland, the Poss'Nomin expanded across their homeworld's surface, over time forming powerful nations that ultimately fought a global war.

At that time, approximately a century before the Galactic Civil War, a group of offworld traders made first contact with the species. As a result, the Poss'Nomin ceased fighting and, within the span of a decade, formed a united planetary government. Over the following century, one-third of Illarreen's population adopted galactic standard technology, a change that transformed the Poss'Nomin society but also indirectly led to a depressed planetary economy that many members of the species left behind by traveling offworld.
