Within the Corporate Sector, specifically in the Orron system, lay Orron III, an agricultural world. A notable feature was the presence of an Authority Data Center. Only drone barges, used for crop transport, and Authority fleet ships were permitted to land. The planet was orbited by three moons.
During the era of the Freedon Nadd Uprising, Orron III's Senator attended a Defense Committee meeting. She voiced the opinion that the Republic should abstain from deploying forces to Onderon against the Naddists, arguing that the planet's status as a non-member absolved the Republic of responsibility, and the dark side's threat should be handled by the Jedi.
Han Solo and Chewbacca, in their endeavor to extract Klaus Vandangante from Stars' End, concealed the Millennium Falcon inside a food transport. They then attempted to infiltrate the Authority Data Center on Orron III to pinpoint the prison's location. Subsequently, Han and Chewbacca encountered Rekkon and his group, who were also trying to liberate their imprisoned relatives. Their operation failed, leading to Chewbacca's capture and subsequent imprisonment within a Corporate Sector Authority's facility.
As the first Death Star neared completion, the Alliance intercepted Toral. Intelligence analysis of its memory revealed an impending weapon convoy near Orron III. The Tone, Uhuru and Hyko were present when the Alliance forces arrived; Y-wings of Red Squadron and Gold Squadron, together with X-wings of Blue Squadron, destroyed the convoy. The BFF-1 bulk freighter Phoenix pilfered communications satellites from the base.
