Description
An outlying world of the Corellian sector, Nubia has long walked a middle path between Corellian flamboyance and the stuffier, formal culture of much of the Core. Nubians take pride in twenty-two millennia of relative peace and prosperity, but they fairly quiet about it. And above all else, they work: The planet has been an agricultural power for eons, its mantle continues to yield deposits of bronzium and other ores, and four significant corporations—Industrial Automaton, PharmCorp, Nubia Star Drives, and TradCo—all Nubia home.
Through galactic history, Nubia has generally sided with the Corellians, though that reflects Corellia's economic importance to its neighbor and not any particular philosophical alignment. Within the sector Nubians have traditionally been voices of reason, seeking to moderate Corellian rhetoric and keep the sector engaged with the rest of the galaxy.
As the Rebellion began to spread, the Empire declared martial law on Nubia, seizing its grain production and ensuring that Nubia's powerful ion engines stayed out of Alliance hands. The resulting economic hardship created considerable resentment, but the New Republic failed to capitalize on such an opportunity, standing idle during a bloody and exhausting purge of Imperials and Imperial sympathizers on the planet. Ironically, the New Republic has long blamed both the purge and the inaction on overzealous Corellian Rebels.) Nubia allied itself with Corellia during the Corellia-Coruscant conflict.
