- "The patrol ships were being refurbished at our base on Morr Three."
- ―Keta, member of the Cavrilhu Pirates
The terrestrial celestial body Morr Three[4] was located in the Amorris system,[1][3] a part of the Quelii sector[1] in the New Territories portion of[2] the Outer Rim Territories.[1] It was site of a base operated by the Cavrilhu Pirates, who carried out raids in the Amorris system. The pirates used the base for the refurbishment of their starships.[4]
After the Cavrilhu Pirates had raided a New Republic convoy during the Thrawn campaign,[4] they brought three IPV-1 System Patrol Crafts[5] they had stolen to Morr Three to be refurbished. The starship thief Niles Ferrier subsequently arrived at the base with a shipment of power converters that he claimed had been requested by the pirate Captain Zothip. In reality, the delivery was merely a ploy that gave Ferrier the opportunity to steal the Cavrilhu Pirates' patrol ships.[4]
Behind the scenes
Morr Three was first mentioned in West End Games' Dark Force Rising Sourcebook, written by Bill Slavicsek and published in 1992 as part of Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game.[6] Jason Fry,[3] the co-author of the 2009 book The Essential Atlas,[7] confirmed during the development of the StarWars.com Online Companion to that book that Morr Three was located in the Amorris system,[3] which The Essential Atlas placed in grid square O-6.[2]
