Lur was a planet in the Outer Rim Territories' Aparo sector. The planet was noted for its geneticists. The world remained loyal to the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars, although restrictions on non-military cloning hindered much of the Lurrians' genetic research. Under the New Order, Lur was quarantined as in fear that the Lurrian's technology would be used for evil, though this quarantine was lightly enforced. The Empire would often raid the planet for slaves as well. During the Yuuzhan Vong War the New Republic took great interest in the Lurrian's bioengineering.
