Onderonians

Onderonians hail from Onderon, their homeworld. The planet is a dense jungle, and its people live in the walled city of Iziz.

History
Onderon has historically belonged to the Republic, though it oftentimes sought a neutral stance in Republic affairs. When the Jedi Civil War occurred and General Vaklu sought to withdraw Onderon from the Republic, a civil war broke out that left thousands dead-- Vaklu included.

Centuries later Onderon once again was forced into conflict it sought to avoid: King Ramsis Dendup attempted to keep Onderon out of the Clone Wars until his throne was usurped by Sanjay Rash and the planet joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems. This had the effect of bringing war to Onderon as the Republic dispatched Jedi Master Obi-wan Kenobi and his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, to train Onderonian rebels to overthrow the CIS.

In the aftermath of that effort the CIS abandoned the world to the Republic, and the 222nd Clone Legion was garrisoned on the world to defend it from future CIS incursions.

Recent Events
The 222nd Legion has reorganized with the Empire, and new non-clone leadership has been cycled in. With these new leaders come new priorities for the clones-- and new problems for the Onderonians.

The Empire is an immensely controversial topic for Onderonians. Those who were loyal to the Republic-- most noble families-- now split between those loyal to the new Empire and those who wish to see the more democratic process of the Republic restored. Separatist noble families are uneasy allies with those who seek to see the Empire restored to the Republic: at least they both can agree that they want to see the Imperial presence on Onderon removed.
