Thanta Zilbra, a smuggler, met his end when the planet he colonized was obliterated during the Corellian Crisis, though he ensured his six children (four sons and two daughters) were evacuated beforehand. He had previously crash-landed on a planet harboring a native fungus possessing remarkable curative abilities. After securing backing from the New Republic, Zilbra founded a settlement on this world, which subsequently became known as Thanta Zilbra, for the purpose of collecting the Zilbra fungus.
