Legend

this planet, the homeworld of the Muun race, was the financial heart of the galaxy for millennia, at least according to the native Muuns. The fact remained that much of the galaxy's currency was backed by the resources of the Muuns and the InterGalactic Banking Clan. The planet itself was a temperate world over jungles, forests, and rolling plains, and its shallow seas were continually warmed by regular eruptions of small volcanoes known as smokers. Located along the Braxant Run, Muunilinst became the financial center of the Empire in the years following the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Known to many Imperial officers - and, indeed, much of the galaxy - as Moneylend, it was a world steeped in history that dated from the glory days of the Old Republic. During the era of the New Republic, Muunilinst was protected by a pair of Golan III defense platforms, defenses which Moff Disra had tried to move to Bastion. Years later, after the Yuuzhan Vong took control of the planet Coruscant and then were soundly defeated at the Battle of Ebaq, the alien invaders turned to the fringes of the galaxy to make smaller attacks. After destroying the Yevethan homeworld of N'zoth, the Yuuzhan Vong turned their attention to the Imperial Remmant. In a coordinated strike, the Yuuzhan Vong eliminated Bastion and its supporting fleet, then decimated the forces protecting Muunilinst. The planet itself was bombarded from orbit, reducing it to a wasteland from which the Yuuzhan Vong plucked any survivors for use as slave labor.
