Legend

an industrial world located in the Allied Tion sector of the galaxy, Lianna has been under the rule of outside forces for much of its history. It was originally conquered by the Tion warlords, then was controlled by the Kingdom of Barseg as the Old Republic brought peace to the galaxy. The Senate basically ignored Lianna, though, and it continued to be ruled as a traditional territory. Some three centuries before the Battle of Yavin, the Old Republic Senate decided that the planet, under the rule of Barseg, was not being allowed to flourish. The Senate took control, but the planet continued to be misused as an industrial center. Two hundred years later, Seinar Technologies established its presence there, but the company was taken over by Kerred Santhe in a hostile maneuver that created Santhe/Sienar Technologies. Santhe moved the company's headquarters to Lianna. Under the control of Kerred's granddaughter, Valles Santhe, the planet remained independent, although it was a supporter of the New Order. The Lady Santhe quickly instituted home rule following the Battle of Endor. The New Republic respected the decision, but surviving Imperial forces launched a series of reprisal attacks on the planet. The Lady Santhe threatened stop building TIE Fighters if the attacks didn't stop. The threat, plus some well-placed bribes, allowed Lianna to remain neutral by special charter of the Empire. Lianna has 1 moon, a day which lasts 22 standard hours, and a year which encompasses 370 local days.
