Vervain sector

The Vervain sector was a sector of the galaxy, home to the Vervani governments and peoples.

History
During the tenure of Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine, the Galactic Senate stripped the Vervain sector of its defense funding, leaving its worlds vulnerable to attacks by pirates and the Tuono Free Company. Palpatine proposed a greater, Republic-led military presence in the sector, and in 30 BBY the Conference for the Protection and Free Movement of the Vervani Peoples was held on Marilac to discuss the proposal. En route to the conference, Queen Padmé Amidala's diplomatic courier was attacked by Tuono mercenaries and crash-landed on Aristo. Amidala escaped the frontier world and delivered an impassioned plea to the Vervani governments. In response, military spending was increased across the sector on behalf of the Chancellor.

The sector was among those hosting strikes for independence during the Separatist Crisis, which stoked discontent in the Galactic Republic and led to the formation of Count Dooku's Confederacy of Independent Systems.

Behind the scenes
The Vervain sector was created by Squid Hills as the setting for his Legends erotic fiction "Journey to Marilac". It was introduced into erotica canon with a mention in Kooriv's Star Wars Erotica: The Essential Guide to Interspecies Relations.
