Tangenine

Tangenine was a planet located in the Core Worlds' Tangenine sector. It was home to the norango bush farmers Remba and Kelven and their children Lauren Mel Coelho and Julien. One of the world's syndicates, the Malandro syndicate, charged protection fees from Remba and Kelven until Remba refused to pay them, leading to the murder of the couple and their workers. The syndicates later gained prominence when the Separatist Alliance dealt damage to Tangenine's infrastructure during the Clone Wars.

After the war came to a close in 19 BBY, the Galactic Empire sought to bring order to Tangenine and used bounty hunters to root out the syndicates. Coelho resurfaced as a bounty hunter under the name Brand and pursued rewards primarily on the Malandro syndicate. The Empire's corruption grew as the control of the syndicates waned, and eventually, Brand took an off-world job on the Rebel Alliance Captain Micha Evon.
