Marotan

Marotan was a planet located in the Marotan system. It was a major exporter of Rhydonium. It was also the sight of the Invasion of Marotan.

Colonization
Around 10 BBY, a group of Humans, Twi'leks, and Togrutas led by Kimi Kaed set up a colony on Marotan to get away from Imperial rule.

In 8 BBY, the colony came under attack by the Galactic Empire. The colony would've been destroyed had it not been for Mex Cotte, Jack Dearg, and Stock Foru who had destroyed the Imperial Star Destroyer orbiting the planet and taking out the rest of the stormtroopers raiding the colony. After the downing of the Imperial destroyer, the colonists engaged in a three year long battle against the Empire and emerged with their freedom in 5 BBY

Domestic affairs
Marotan was typically led by the House of Cotte, direct descendants of Mex Cotte. Though the people of Marotan did have democracy electing a Prime Minister, usually members of the House of Dearg and the House of Furo; who was acting leader whenever the original was away, especially since many members of the Cotte family were Jedi Knights. The people of Marotan also elected a Senator to represent the planet in the Galactic Senate.
