Purse world was a term for important Neimoidian colony worlds. Unlike the other colonies, only the purse worlds had names that ended in "Neimoidia." They served as headquarters of their own sets of colonies, and most likely functioned the same as protectorates or insular areas.
The term was later used during the Clone Wars in reference to strategically important Separatist-held planets or systems.
