Expanded Dossier
⬢ CURATED RECORDSluis Van is a Sluissi shipyard world: humid, technical, and famous for hulls that come out over-engineered in the kind way. The yards are the politics. The species is the workforce.
Heir to the Empire opens a campaign with a hit on these docks — Thrawn wanted ships, not a siege. Searches for 'Sluis Van raid' are that novel. The catalog still files it as a major Outer Rim complex.
