Contruum

Contruum was a planet in the Mid Rim, orbited by two large moons and several smaller satellites.

History
The planet's human population was mainly found in the planet's tropics, although small settlements have been found all over the system, mainly in the smaller world of Contruum-6, which probably may have been one of Contruum's moons.

Contruum was most famous for being the home planet of Airen and Pash Cracken. The planet was also regarded to be one of the most prominent planets outside the Core Worlds, comparible in power and prestige to a similar planet known as Eriadu. It was located just a small hyperspace jump from the Perlemian Trade Route and two jumps from the Hydian Way, Contruum was also famous for its borium mines and foundries, and also for its shipyards. Contruum was more like Corellia than Eriadu; the inhabitants have limited the impact of interstellar industry on their ecosystem and they were also known for their independence.

The Imperial Era
After the Galactic Empire had replaced the Galactic Republic, Imperial forces seized control of the borium operations, expecting that such an action would meet very little resistance on Contruum's large population.

They were proved wrong when Airen Cracken and his team of mechanics founded Cracken's Crew, a guerilla group. Avoiding direct attacks on the garrison forces, they destroyed the Imperial-controlled shipyards and mines, and the supply infrastructure of the occupation. As the Imperial garrison tried to deal with the saboteurs, the Contruum Rebellion broke out. After it finished, the local Moff opted to withdraw his troops, unable to justify the losses that the empire was suffering in attempting to hold the world.

With its long history of opposition to tyrany and its successful resistance to the Empire, Contruum became a bastion of the New Republic. The shipyards began building sleek destroyers with names that embodied virtues like Temperance, Prudence and Equity and Airen Cracken and his son Pash were considered heroes of the Galaxy.

Contruum remained a free world, even after the Yuuzhan Vong Invasion began. Airen Cracken
