Durren was a terrestrial planet near the border between the Meridian and Antemeridian sectors that was home to the New Republic's naval base in Meridian sector.
History
Sometime after the collapse of the Grissmath Dynasty, governance of Durren was turned over to the Durren Central Planetary Council, which was formed of six major religions were in power on the planet. During this time, the Durren population had placed the Republic's shipyard station, Durren Orbital, in orbit around the planet. The planet was part of the New Republic by 13 ABY, when hyperdrive engineer Seti Ashgad instigated a revolt against the Durren Central Planetary Council and also instigated pirate attacks on Ampliquen to draw the Republic battle cruisers Caelus and Corbantis away from Durren. The plan succeeded, and both ships were infected with the Death Seed plague. The cruisers Courane and Fireater were sent from Durren to investigate the Death Seed breakout on Cybloc XII.[3]
