Legend

this was the second planet in the Koornacht Cluster overtaken by the Yevetha during the Great Purge. It was known for its wonderful garden cities until the Yevetha laid waste to the planet. During the Galactic Civil War, Polneye was the site of an Imperial transshipment port, for its high-altitude cloud cover was extremely thick. This hid the ground operations, which included a flight of TIE Interceptors. When the Empire crumbled, the troops there abandoned the planet, leaving it to the civilian population. The humans tightened their belts and eked out a surprisingly prosperous existence until the Yevetha arrived. The Polneyi were the only group to fight back against the Yevetha, but their resistance was quickly routed. The cities on Polneye were arranged around the central spaceport, and numbered sequentially around the four points of the compass (9 South, 14 East, etc.).
