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
thumb\|left\|Vors dwellings 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 - a building that resonated with tones as the planet's strong winds struck it - which was the focal point of Vortex's annual Concert of the Winds, a cultural festival to celebrate the planet's changing of seasons.
