―Grammel

Gyndine was a planet in the Expansion Region. It was a local administrative center.

Description

Gyndine was located in the Circarpous sector of the Expansion Region, at the intersection of Nanth'ri Route and the Ootmian Pabol. Gyndine was an administrative world.

History

Galactic Civil War

During the Imperial Period, Gyndine was a fortress world and the headquarters of Imperial Governor Bin Essada, whose responsibilities included the entire Circarpous sector. During this period, the passenger liner Queen of Empire used to travel to Gyndine.

During the Imperial Civil War in 10 ABY, Gyndine protected itself by becoming a fortress world. It guarded itself with a powerful planetary shield and maintained a defense fleet of thirty starships, a small number compared to others.

Behind the scenes

The well-known 1978 blueprints by Geoffrey Mandel name Gyndine as the site of the shipyard where the prototype of the "Star Destroyer Imperator Class" was built, but it is unclear whether these plans were an official publication.
