- "Since the planet is uninhabited, the moon of Pantora reserves the right to continue as its protectorate."
- ―SenatorRiyo Chuchi, regarding Orto Plutonia[1]
Aprotectorate was a system of government where a territory was autonomous.Moons had the right to claim theirplanet as a protectorate providing that they were uninhabited, and were able to establish military installations on them to protect them. Prior to the discovery of its indigenousTalz population, the planetOrto Plutonia was a protectorate of its moon,Pantora. After making first contact with the Talz and determining that they weresentient, representatives of thePantoran Assembly conceded control of Orto Plutonia to the Talz.[1]
