Colonies

The Colonies was a region of the galaxy.

Description
The Colonies region contained planets of the Northern Dependencies and The Slice. Species of the Colonies included the Neimoidians of Neimoidia, Gossam of Castell, the Bardottans of Bardotta and the colony of Phu, Arkanians, Abednedo, Devaronians, the Longdongians of Sesso Prime (also known as Longdongia), Tholothians, and the Herglic of Giju in Herglic Space.

Imperial Era
Cassian Andor conducted a raid on the Wecacoe Deployment in the Colonies alongside Kertas and Rismor, and encountered the security droid K-2SO. Andor reprogrammed the unit to serve Alliance Intelligence.

New Republic Era
Abednedo was among the planets persecuted by the Galactic Empire during Operation: Cinder. The New Republic used the Colonies world of Borleias as a starfighter base in the last stages of the Galactic Civil War, and New Republic Command left it provisioned as a fallback base after the Military Disarmament Act. Its materiel became a target for Sidon Ithano's pirates after the Hosnian Cataclysm.

Some of the poorest sectors of Nar Shaddaa, such as the Corellian Sector and Duros Sector, were boosted by expatriate wealth from the Colonies and Core Worlds, becoming among the wealthiest.
