In the wake of the horrific bombardment of Taanab by the New Republic's rogue 5th Fleet, another Free World's Alliance world that experienced a similar fate is opening up its trees to the refugees fleeing the planet. Kashyyyk, which launched a refugee resettlement program several years ago, has reported taking in a large number of refugees from Taanab in the hours and days following the bombardment while the situation on the agricultural planet is still being described as "hazardous."

"Our people know firsthand the challenges facing those fleeing Taanab" said a spokeswookiee, though a translator. "In the same way that the ISCRA, GOH, and Jedi Order assisted our people after the bombardment of Kashyyyk, we welcome those seeking for shelter; either short term, or on a more permanent basis."

Kashyyyk is uniquely positioned within the galaxy to welcome such refugees; with an abundance of real estate, a diminished population, and a focus on agriculture, the native Wookiees face none of the crowding or logistical problems that would hamper other worlds' ability to take in thousands of refugees on a relatively short notice.

In addition to providing much-needed shelter and food for refugees, the success of the resettlement program has had the indirect benefit of helping regrow Kashyyyk's population, which now includes a growing minority of humans from planets such as Onderon, New Alderaan, and now, Taanab.
