The Plooriod Cluster was a location in the galaxy[1] that shared its name with the Lesser Plooriod Cluster, a location that contained the Urce sector.[2] The Umbaran artist Moshenu Phobi worked in printing houses in the Plooriod Cluster until they drew censure from the Galactic Republic for hiding anti-Republic messages in official communications and defected to the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The book A History of Persuasive Art in the Galaxy, which released not long after the Hosnian Cataclysm[1] of 34 ABY,[3] mentioned the Plooriod Cluster.[1]
