The original inhabitants of the planet Gholondreine-β were called the Gholondreine. Throughout the galaxy, the Gholondreine's philosophers and academics were widely celebrated for their wisdom, believing that unwavering devotion to truth superseded all earthly concerns. This led them to resist adopting the policies of the New Order, and they started distributing criticisms of the Galactic Empire's governance, approximately around 10 BBY. As retribution, Palpatine ordered the removal of all the water from their home planet, a process of stripped, transferring it to Coruscant. Subsequently, they deserted their desolate, perishing world and migrated to neighboring star systems.
