A purse-world was a term for a wealthy Neimoidian colony planet. Purse-worlds were all located in the Colonies region of the galaxy, near the Neimoidian homeworld of Neimoidia. Cato Neimoidia was one such world. Because Narq was situated in the heart of the purse-worlds, the Neimoidians ended up occupying that planet and reducing its natives to slavery.
