Floris

The spelling of this article's title is conjectural. Although this article's title is canonical, its actual spelling is pure conjecture.

Floris was an uninhabited planet located far on the Outer Rim that was distant from the Outer Rim planet Eiram. In 228 BBY, during the High Republic Era, the sentient carnivorous plants known as the Drengir, believing the blight plague was coming to Eiram, made an attempt to leave the planet. After the Jedi Order discovered this, they agreed to give the Drengir their starship, the Innovator, and set it for a distant world so the plants could escape the blight until it had been stopped. Before departing, however, the Great Progenitor—the Drengir's matriarch—had Republic Defense Coalition Petty Officer Orlis change their destination from Floris to the Mid Rim planet Kashyyyk, where she thought they would flourish.

Description

Floris was a planet located far on the Outer Rim that was distant from Eiram—a planet^[1] within the Eiram system of the Outer Rim's Dalnan sector.^[2]

History

In 228 BBY,^[3] during the High Republic Era, members of the Jedi Order fought against the Drengir—sentient carnivorous plants led by their matriarch, the Great Progenitor—and learned the Drengir were attempting to flee the planet Eiram, as they believed the plague known as the blight was heading there. In response, the Jedi agreed to provide the plants with^[1] the Elite-class vessel^[4] Innovator and a distant world so they could be safe until the blight was stopped.^[1]

Before the Drengir left Eiram aboard the Innovator, Republic Defense Coalition Petty Officer Orlis arrived on the ship to set its navigation computer to head toward Floris, as it was far from the Galactic Republic and blight. The Great Progenitor, however, briefly used a vine to control Orlis' thoughts and had him instead set the computer to head to^[1] the Mid Rim^[2] planet Kashyyyk, where she believed the Drengir would flourish. As the Innovator traveled through hyperspace on its way to Kashyyyk, the Great Progenitor thought about the original intent for the Drengir to travel to Floris and recalled her control of the petty officer to change their course to their new destination, noting he would not remember.^[1] During their journey, the Drengir sensed the blight and were compelled to alter their course repeatedly to avoid it, before they eventually did travel to Kashyyyk.^[5]

Inhabitants

By 228 BBY,^[3] Floris was uninhabited.^[1]
