"No worse than that time on Tibrin."
"We had Jedi with us on Tibrin. They helped." - ―Commander Cody and Captain Rex
Tibrin (pronounced /ˈtɪbrɪn/ or /tɪˈbrɪn/) was a planet located within the Mid Rim and the homeworld of the Ishi Tib.
History
The Ishi Tib welcome Dooku as a hero.
The planet was completely covered by small oceans, with many coral reefs and sandbars protruding to the surface. The ocean currents distributed warm water around the planet creating a temperate zone which covered the entire planet. Ishi Tib cities were built on the reefs and even built out of their material. Edible seaweed was grown and fish were bred for food in Tibrin's underwater corrals.
Because of the Ishi Tib's reliance on the planet's natural resources, environmental efforts were a primary consideration on the planet. Technology was carefully tested before it was implemented into their society. In an effort to further this environmentalism, Ishi Tib used beasts to perform many tasks on the planet that would normally be performed by machines.
Waks Trode served as the planetary Representative in the Galactic Senate
During the Galactic War, a strange algae grew in the southern reefs of Tibrin and caused fishes that ate it to explode.[6]
During the Clone Wars planet was ruled by the murderous dictator Suribran Tu, who initially sided with the Galactic Republic. After Count Dooku conquered the world in 22 BBY, Tu offered to work with the Confederacy of Independent Systems, but was instead executed by Dooku to gain the sympathy and support of the Ishi Tib. Dooku's strategy worked splendidly, and the populace hailed him as a liberator.[5]
Sora Bulq then was made temporary Confederate governor of Tibrin.[5] Even after Tibrin joined the Confederacy, it was represented in the Galactic Senate by Gume Saam. However, he was affiliated with the Confederacy. It was the site of the Battle of Tibrin.
Behind the scenes
The PC game Star Wars: Rebellion mistakenly places Tibrin in the Atrivis sector of the Outer Rim Territories.
