Pantora was the primary moon in orbit around the planet Orto Plutonia, in the Pantora system, located in the Sujimis sector of the Outer Rim Territories, in grid square P-19 on the Standard Galactic Grid. It was the homeworld of the Pantorans, who were led by the Pantoran Assembly and the Supreme Chairman of Pantora, a post held by Chi Cho, who was later replaced by Baron Notluwiski Papanoida. Pantora was a member of the Galactic Republic and therefore represented in the Galactic Senate. During the Clone Wars, Pantora remained loyal to the Republic and Riyo Chuchi served as its senator.
