It was the planet to which Darth Sidious sent the Mandalorian Protectors on a mission to capture Senator Padmé Amidala during the Clone Wars.
The Mission to Norval II.
Sidious betrayed the Mandalorians, who were ambushed by the Jedi and the Ailon Nova Guard. Only three Mandalorians survived: Tobbi Dala, Fenn Shysa, and Spar. This betrayal also resulted in the destruction of the vast majority of BL-series Battle Legionnaire droids.
During the war against the reborn Emperor in 10 ABY, Norval II provided starfighters for the armed force stationed at Pinnacle Base.
