Query: Neutral Planets (Clone Wars Era) According to the EU

I'm not a total expert on EU, but I'd like to know if you guys know of planets which, according to EU, have declared themselves neutral (non-Republic, non-Separatist) in the Clone Wars era.

A list here would be great. Thanks

 

From my notes:

Corellia. No-brainer. Kamino. Another no-brainer.

Bakura *was* neutral -- or at least unimportant in the Republic's strategic picture -- prior to its fall.

Cerea, presumably, considering it never joined the Republic in "Prelude to Rebellion."

Aargau was purportedly neutral against the Confederacy, although still a Republic member.

Cartao was purely standoffish to *both* sides, until the Separatists attempted their seizure of the Spaarti plants there.

Kabal was caught between the Republic and the Trade Fed prior to Geonosis, with both sides playing tug-o'-war with food shipments and Jedi for their loyalties.

Jabiim was formerly Republican, then Confederate after Alto Stratus's coup d'etat. Not truly "neutral," per se, but swung sides due to internal reasons; all too rare in this era.

From recent stories: Anzat and Maramere both appeared to be nominally inoffensive, but that's not made entirely clear from the dialogue.

Bothawui was suggested by Palpatine as "neutral ground" for a pre-Geonosis conference betwixt him and Dooku.

...More later, as time permits.

 

>>"Cerea, presumably, considering it never joined the Republic in "Prelude to Rebellion.""<<

Tho there was a Battle of Cerea, mentioned by Ki-Adi-Mundi in No Man's Land.

 

Which of these neutral planets didn't get involved/got attacked in the wars then?

Corellia, I know got involved anyway, despite their neutrality, if I remember correctly.

I'm making a fanfilm right now, and it has to be set in a lush, green world, but untouched by the Wars.

Please help. Thanks again

 

Can't you just make up your own planet? You won't contradict anything then (or even run the risk of being contradicted by a book released later on).

Couldn't you use Naboo or Alderaan? They weren't neutral, but neither had a battle on them.

 

Naboo did have a battle and Alderaan was firmly with the Republic.

Bespin, or at least Cloud City, was neutral according to the Boba Fett young adult books.

 

Kamino's neutral? The Separatists attacked it once, and so did the CIS-aligned Mandalorians.

 

Actually, as of what we know, Corellia remained neutral for the entire war. All it did was meet its quota for Republic warship production at the CEC yards, so its role was passive. General Grievous deliberately ignored the world.

Kamino was obviously not neutral, as it was the base for the Republic clone army. Their planet fell under Confederate attack on more than one occaision. The Kaminoans also took an active role as medics for the clones, as evidenced with the number of them present at the New Holstice medical centre.

A true neutral planet would be Nal Hutta, or any planets in Hutt Space, including Kessel, Nar Kreeta, and Tatooine.

 

I don't know about Kamino being the "base" for the GAR. Scenes from AotC and "Before the Helmet" pics from RotS would lead me to believe Coruscant is the most likely "base." The fact that CIS has attacked Kamino twice is probably due to the fact that it is the "factory" of the GAR. But I'm no expert on this matter.

As far as Tatooine being in Hutt Space; dead wrong. Tatooine is in the Arkanis Sector. I suggest you take a look at the nav-computer galaxy map for ideas.

Not according to most sources, including [i]The Graveyard of Alderaan[/i] RPG module, and books like the [i]Guides to the SW Universe[/i].

And then there's Bail Organa's rather violent outburst in the NPR radio drama:

[i][blockquote]"...Violence and warfare nearly destroyed us during the Clone Wars! Do you want to begin it all again?"[/blockquote][/i]
The context of Bail's comments -- Leia bringing the Empire's wrath down onto [b]Alderaan[/b] itself -- connotes [b]something[/b] unrevealed that took place there, per the last 28-some-odd-years' worth of material.

 

...Violence and warfare nearly destroyed us during the Clone Wars! Do you want to begin it all again?"

I don't think Bail's using the "us" to mean specifically Alderaanians.

I think he's using it in a generic sense, as in citizens of the Republic/Empire.

 

What I said earlier, though -- there are other sources that mention Alderaan itself being threatened during the Clone Wars, and Bail's comments were made in that specific context. Though it's apparently something that didn't make it through the official LFL vetting-process.

Writers like Haden Blackman would've had a field decade with it.

 

Neutral world: Telos (personal favorite)

When the Clone Wars begin, there are still "a million more [clones] well on the way", not to mention next-gen clones, ARCs and commanders. Kamino is definately affiliated with the Republic.

 

Since I haven't heared anything of them (correct me if I'm wrong) I'm assuming that the Hapes Cluster was neutral/not even aware.

 

Historically, Hapes is usually neutral.

 

Thanks for your opinions, guys.

I'm curious though...what's Yavin's history as far as post-Ep3 details are concerned? Was it Imperial territory also?

 

I don't think Yavin is affiliated with any faction between the Sith Wars and the Rebels choosing the fourth moon as their base. However (possible Labyrinth of Evil spoiler) Palpatine visits the ancient temples on Yavin IV at least once, and retrieves a statue which later resides in his office (or apartment, I can't recall).

 

Cerea was definitely confirmed as a Republic Member world, since it was one of the RRM settlement worlds in HNN, similar to Naboo.

 

????

How can the Corellians supply warships and still call themselves non-aligned?

 

They've withdrawn from the Senate, not the Republic. Plus, I'm sure Palpatine's emergency acts have founds ways to circumvent Corellia's position and force them to produce a certain amount of ships for the Republic. Sort of like how the USA supplied Britain with war materials before formally entering WWI.
