Legend

this relatively unimportant world was the site of a savage battle during the height of the Clone Wars. The planet itself was unremarkable, with only a few landmasses that were dominated by odorous swamp forests. These forests, however, were amazingly fast-growing, and the native populations struggled on a daily basis to keep the plantlife in check. Those who had visited Parcelus Minor often commented that the planet had "too much life" to be normal. The forces of the Army of the Republic were woefully unprepared for the scope of the Separatist forces on the planet, and were outnumbered ten-to-one before a rogue Separatist General took matters into his own hands. He ordered an orbital bombardment of Parcelus Minor, destroying Republic and Separatist forces alike in order to take control of the planet. The plantlife on the planet immediately caught fire, since it exuded the resin known as tzeotine, setting the entire plant ablaze in no time.
