Description
Founded as a daughter world of Duro, Neimoidia evolved its own culture and lifestyle, until one day when the Neimoidians suddenly wanted to change it all back.
Founded circa 25,000 BBY, Neimoidia was one of the earliest Duros colonies, benefiting from the head start the Duros had earned by reconstructing the Rakatan hyperdrive. The planet's steamy humidity proved unpleasant for its settlers, who soon launched their own wave of colonization. The resulting "purse worlds" of Koru Neimoidia, Deko Neimoidia, and Cato Neimoidia answered to the trade monarch on Neimoidia, but their influence on interstellar commerce soon outstripped that of their parent world. Left behind on the galactic stage, the planet took to calling itself Purse World Neimoidia to distinguish itself from its spin-offs.
Over the millennia, Neimoidia became known as a dull place of grub-hatcheries and automated farms, to be avoided by the ambitious at all costs. Its hothouse jungles, crawling with brainworm rot and fright-sized harvester beetles, slowly became regimented plots of fungal farms and mass trees. Agricultural exports lifted off hourly from the capital city of Koto-Si.
By 15,000 BBY the Duros on Neimoidia had diverged enough from baseline stock to be considered a distinct species. The Neimoidians continued to pursue interstellar trade, while the Duros distinguished themselves in the fields of navigation and exploration. In 3500 BBY the Neimoidians spearheaded the creation of the Trade Federation to regulate commerce in the Rim systems—enriching the planet beyond its deepest dreams.
But the Trade Federation's involvement in the Battle of Naboo backfired. Stung by that debacle, the Neimoidians suffered further humiliation after finding themselves on the losing side of the Clone Wars. Following the death of Viceroy Nute Gunray on Mustafar, the Empire dismantled the Trade Federation. Brought to their lowest point in history, many disgraced Neimoidians chose to cloak themselves as Duros in the hope that they could escape the stigma attached to two-time losers.
