Ryloth

Ryloth was home to the Twi'leks.

Description
Among the planet's flora was the flyrin berry, which had a sweet and spicy taste comparable to that of Twi'lek females.

History
"I'm afraid we're not all pampered slaves. Even the ones on Ryloth, but especially those of us who grew up off-world. I'm originally from a colony on Saleucami, led by Clan Secura. We tend to be a bit more cosmopolitan in our attitudes towards sexual servitude."

- Ardanna Glie

Ryloth was the ancestral homeworld of the Twi'lek species who were led by political and cultural leaders belonging to Ryloth's clans.

The Free Ryloth movement was a principled resistance movement borne out of the Clone Wars which fought the Galactic Empire over the values of democracy and the rule of law. Hera Syndulla was inspired to fight by her revolutionary father, Cham Syndulla, and joined the early rebellion against the Galactic Empire alongside Kanan Jarrus. Arda Minan attempted to rally support during the Syndulla uprising, but was arrested and forced to work at the Star Whores club on Coruscant.

As of 0 BBY, the Free Ryloth movement had been suppressed, and several scions of Ryloth's leading clans were sold into slavery. Some of the Twi'lek political and cultural leaders became the property of the Hutt Five Families along the edge of the Empire, while working-class immigrants found employment in Coruscant's underlevels.
