MONTITIA
A poverty stricken backwater, Montitia's primary industries are dust farming and slave catching. A world always on the brink of destitution, yet still tolerable enough to support a bloated population. Regular famines and consistent slave raids keep the populace in check, however, enough for the dust barons to retain some sense of control over the planet. In 51 ABY, Valgus Kromar, self styled Dust King of Montitia, launched an invasion of the Republic with twelve corvettes and a cruiser. This was, historians agree, the most significant thing to have ever happened relating to Montitia.
