Pantora was the primary moon in orbit around the planet Orto Plutonia,[5] in the Pantora system, located in the Sujimis sector of the Outer Rim Territories.[1] It was the homeworld of the Pantorans who were led by the Pantoran Assembly[4] and the Chairman of Pantora, a post held by Chi Cho who was later replaced by Baron Papanoida. Pantora was a member of the Galactic Republic and represented in the Galactic Senate. During the Clone Wars, Riyo Chuchi served the world's senator.[2] When it came under a blockade by the Trade Federation, Senator Chuchi and Chairman Papnoida were able to free the world from a possible take over by the Confederacy of Independent Systems.[3]
