Commenor was a prestigious trade outpost in the Colonies for most of its history. It was a world of deserts, canyons and oceans and numerous space ports around which cities sprung forth. During the early reign of the Empire, numerous demonstrations took place across Commenor against the newly formed Galactic Empire. A clamp down was swift and a permanent Imperial garrison established. Resistance took more militant forms and persisted throughout the impending Galactic Civil War. The world was targeted for punishment in the Wake of Endor and ravaged for three months with near cataclysmic storm events via weaponized climate-satellite systems of the Empire until the Rebel fleet moved in to the Colonies from Kashyyyk and liberated it.
