The planet of Vortex is home to the hollow-boned, winged Vors, and it is a blue-and-gray planet with a sharp axial tilt that causes sudden seasonal changes and severe windstorms. The Cathedral of Winds is the center of Vor civilization, and is an immense crysyalline structure designed to produce tones when Vortex's wind currents pass over and through it. The Vors perform a beautiful concert of ethereal music by opening and closing origfices in the building with their bodies. The Vors species is an emotionless species that tends to concentrat on larger goals rather than on individuals. During the reign of the Empire and Emperor Palpatine the Vors refused to perform there music for off-worlders, and only recentally have they allowed the New Republic and other dignitaries to attend these shows and all recording is prohibited, and only a single concert is performed each year. The Vors inhabited underground dwellings during the stormy season. During a visit to Vortex by Princess Leia Organa Solo and Admiral Ackbar, Ackbar's sabotaged B-wing crashed into and destroyed the centuries-old Cathedral of Winds and killed atleast 358 Vors. A diffrent and more streamlined Cathedral was then constructed by the Vors as a replacement.
