New Brigia was a planet in the Koornacht Cluster.
New Brigia was colonized by a small group of Brigians from Brigia about two years before the Battle of Yavin. They founded a chromite-mining operation.
Its population was wiped out by the Yevetha during the Great Purge. It was the smallest of the thirteen alien settlements visited by the Yevetha in the cluster.
There were many diggings and pits in the hills that mined chromite. When the Yevetha overtook the planet, they took large amounts of the metal from the ore sheds. Only after did the Yevetha leave the surface did they fire a heavy salvo into the valleys, vaporizing everything within, completely sterilizing them.
