Vortex was a Mid Rim planet in the Glythe Sector. The planet was the home world of the Vors, a race with wings, but no emotion.
|
Overview
|
|
Vortex was known for its violent weather, particularly sharp winds, which was caused by an abnormal tilt in the planet's axis. During the winter months, vast polar ice caps formed almost instantaneously by the freezing gases in the planet's atmosphere. The sudden change in air pressure made huge currents, which swept across the entire planet.

History
|
| Vortex joined the Galactic Republic in 189 BBY. It was ruled by Krini-shen, the Chief Council.
The center of the Vor's society was The Cathedral of Winds: A magnificent, delicate and extremely intricate structure which was the focal point of Vortex's annual Concert of the Winds, a cultural festival to celebrate the planet's changing of seasons.

|
Cathedral of the Winds
|
| For generations, the center of their civilization was the Cathedral of Winds, an organic-looking crystalline structure. As the high winds of Vortex blew through the structure, the Vors opened and closed windows and vents in order to create music from nature. Recording the annual concerts at the Cathedral of Winds was forbidden, ensuring that each performance would remain absolutely unique
