Voorsbain was a Mid Rim industrial planet situated in the Tangles area of the Senex sector. It was under the control of the aristocratic House Picutorion. During the Galactic Civil War, the individual Uris planned to unleash nanogene droids on the population of the planet in order to turn it into an army of mutated, zombie-like warriors.
Description[]
Voorsbain was an industrial planet located in the Voorsbain system of the Senex sector, a part of the Senex-Juvex region in the Western Reaches portion of the Mid Rim. Situated in the area of the sector known as the Tangles, it was connected via hyperlanes to the Anturus and Suliana systems.[1]
History[]
At some point, the individual Uris had assembled a team of scientists that, over the course of several years, developed the technology of nanogene droids—microscopic automata that could rewrite the genetic code of sentient beings, transforming them into a mutated, zombie-like state. Eventually, by the time of the Galactic Civil War, Uris became convinced that he could use an army of such warriors to establish his own empire, and he planned to release the first batch of the nanogene droids on the unsuspecting populace of Voorsbain in order to convert it into such a force.[2]
Inhabitants[]
Voorsbain was under the control of House Picutorion, one of the aristocratic Ancient Houses of the Senex-Juvex. House Picutorion funded advanced technological research on the planet.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
Voorsbain was introduced in Star Wars Gamemaster Handbook, a 1993 sourcebook published by West End Games for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game. In the game, the planet was mentioned as part of a hypothetical example illustrating the development of unique technology by the gamemaster player. This article assumes the scenario plays out as described.[2] Voorsbain's canonicity with respect to the Star Wars Legends continuity was later confirmed by the 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas, authored by Daniel Wallace and Jason Fry, which placed it in grid square L-18.[1]
