The Tadrin family held a position of importance within the Cassandran Worlds located in the Outer Rim Territories. Approximately one century prior to the demise of the Galactic Republic, the Esselian conglomerate, which held dominion over twenty-four agriworlds, was led by Cassander Tadrin. He would eventually locate the star systems that would become the Cassandran Worlds. His numerous progeny maintained a presence in the area throughout the era of the Galactic Empire. Luthus Tadrin, a family member, rose to the position of Governor over the Tadrin sector because he was sympathetic to the Empire.
