One of the wealthiest worlds in the galaxy, Muunilinst is the home of the InterGalactic Banking Clan. The native Muuns have turned the world into an immense center of commerce, despite its distance from The Core.
Gleaming marble edifices dominated the stately cities of Muunilinst. Columns, capitals, volutes, acroteria, and entablatures can be found throughout the Muun architecture. These classical structures would become marred by warfare on rare but devastating occasions.

The Dark Times[]
Reference Book: Star Wars Saga Edition Force Unleashed Campaign Guide
The home of the galaxy's most influential financial power, Muunilinst manages to continue its fiscal operations despite an Imperial presence in the years after the Clone Wars. The planet suffered heavily during the Clone Wars as a result of its alliance with the Separatists. The Muuns tapped some of their wealth to reconstruct cities devastated during the Battle of Muunilinst, when Republic forces decimated the capital city of Harnaidan and other locations to destroy gunnery emplacements. The first few years after the Clone Wars see an increase in offworlder visitors- particularly fellow aliens coming to Muunilinst to help with restoration; this influx quickly ebbs once the reconstruction reaches completion and the Empire tightens its authority over the system.
Although the Muuns continue backing the Imperial credit with their world's mineral riches, the Empire's regulations and decrees inhibit their ability to finance other endeavors and pursue business operations of their own. The Empire seeks to curtail Muunilinst's economic influence in favor of other, Human-controlled financial institutions closer to the Core Worlds. This policy has the added side effect of not only quietly punishing the Muuns for backing the Separatists during the Clone Wars, but keeping them under watch lest they secretly finance any of the numerous paltry resistance movements cropping up throughout the Galaxy. The Empire has little to fear. During The Dark Times, the Muuns remain openly loyal to Palpatine's New Order- one of the few alien Species to do so- and calmly endure the petty indignities of Imperial occupation to ensure their financial influence with the next political group to ascend in galactic history.
Still, a handful of Muuns work secretly to divert small amounts of funds to fledgling resistance groups using a complex system of dummy corporations, fake accounts on other planets, and commerce agents. They seek to hedge their bets and establish reliable contacts with those who might someday overthrow the Empire, become the dominant government in the galaxy, and depend upon their financial resources.
Imperial forces, particularly a corps of administrative personnel, monitoring InterGalactic Banking Clan activities, occupy Muunilinst's High Port, The station serves as the governing seat for the Imperial occupation, though several garrisons on the world's surface maintain direct control over key assets. Two Golan Defense Platforms provide security for the world in addition to a steady rotation of naval power that leaves three Star Destroyers patrolling the system at any given time. The Muuns maintain a presence in the High Port, primarily to carry out their commercial activities with offworlders and maintain relationships with Imperial authorities. They also keep a scaled-down contingent of the infamous Iotran Guard for their own security; much of the guard was cut back after the Imperial occupation, though many members entered service as personal bodyguards or mercenary units with influential Muun bankers.
The station and the starport planetside in Harnaidan also host visitors from other worlds and corporations seeking audiences with Muun bankers to provide backing for their financial and industrial schemes. ISB agents quietly track these visitors to ensure that Muun wealth doesn't find its way to groups undermining Imperial authority elsewhere in the galaxy.
