The Aan Empire was a regional empire that originated on the world of Aantooine and later encompased a stretch of what became the Core Worlds. As the Aan pushed towards the Core, they founded and/or invaded several planets, and renamed them with an -aan suffix. Examples include Alderaan, Manaan, Chardaan, Taloraan, and Endoraan. The Empire, along with their enemy, the Tooin Empire were destroyed by an unknown force sometime around 55,000 BBY.
