By4 ABY, the planet had become an Imperialfortress world. Commenor and nearbyFoundry were abandoned by Imperial forces in6 ABY, whenNew Republic forces moved to the Colonies from theKashyyyk system.[3] Nevertheless, Commenor remained formally under Imperial control. After theLiberation of Coruscant,GeneralBel Iblis designed anoperation to conquer Commenor. However, the plan was never put into motion since the people of Commenor ousted the Imperialgovernor a short time later.[12]
The planet remained independent from the New Republic, but still maintained trade relations with it, as well as with the Empire and the independentwarlords.[18] By this time, the New Republic still used the Folor Base, especially during theCore Campaign.[19] The moon served as a New Republic stronghold during theHunt for Zsinj and theThrawn campaign.[3]
