The Kingdom of Shu-Torun was a state located on the planet Shu-Torun, a volcanic, resource-rich world located in the Mid Rim region of the galaxy. During the Age of the Empire, the Galactic Empire controlled the planet and its people through the monarchy of Shu-Torun. While Shu-Torun as a whole was ruled by a monarch, the planet was divided into multiple baronies, each based around a delving citadel and administrated by members of the nobility—collectively known as the ore-dukes. Due to its wealth in minerals, the Shu-Torun ran a mining operation to extract their homeworld's ore in order to fill their quota as imposed by the Empire.
