Description: Ringo Vinda was a planet located in the Ringo Vinda system, within the Eucer sector of the galaxy's Mid Rim, that was encircled by a massive space station. By 20 BBY, the third year of the Clone Wars, Ringo Vinda space station was controlled by Admiral Trench of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. During the Battle of Ringo Vinda, clone trooper CT-5385 executed Jedi Master Tiplar when Protocol 66 was accidentally triggered in his inhibitor chip, forcing the Galactic Republic to withdraw and leave the world under Separatist control. Officially, CT-5385's mental instability was said to be caused by a parasitic infection native to Ringo Vinda that caused his inhibitor to decay and a vaccine was prepared to inoculate the other clones and prevent similar incidents in the future, hiding the true nature of Order 66.
Ringo Vinda space station
Ringo Vinda space station was a ring-shaped civilian graving dock that encircled the planet Ringo Vinda. Controlled by the Galactic Republic, it was captured by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. This resulted in the Battle of Ringo Vinda, a failed Republic campaign launched in the year 19 BBY in a bid to retake the station from the Separatist. After the war, it was converted into a construction facility by the Galactic Empire to churn out Imperial-class Star Destroyers for the Imperial Navy, and rebel agents reported to General Airen Cracken about the industrial status of the station. The station had a command center and a communications center during the Clone Wars.
