Greater Plooriod Cluster

"We have been negotiating with Overlord Ghorin, ruler of the Greater Plooriod Cluster. The Plooriods contain several agricultural worlds that are major grain exporters."

―Admiral Ackbar's briefing

The Greater Plooriod Cluster, also known as the Plooriods, was an area of space located within the Greater Plooriod and Ploo sectors of the Expansion Region.

History

The Plooriods contained many agricultural worlds that supplied food for the Galactic Empire. It also included the planet Corsin, where swoop races took place.

The Greater Plooriod Cluster was ruled by Overlord Ghorin, who shortly after the Battle of Yavin, agreed to supply the Rebel Alliance with grain. The grain had been tainted.

Following the disaster at Deepspace Besh, the Rebel Alliance stepped up raids and military action in an effort to keep the Imperial Navy off balance. As part of this strategy, the Rebel Alliance launched several raids in the Plooriods, including one in the Corsin system.
