The Zongorlu were native to the planet Zongorlu, located in the Noonian sector of the Outer Rim Territories.
The propaganda of Goodvalor claimed that the Zongorlu had nine major warrior-tribes on their planet, each of which had a vacation camp for its younglings on Serroco, these camps being destroyed by the Mandalorian bombardment. As a consequence, Goodvalor claimed Zongorlu were outraged, and those abroad in the Galactic Republic returned en masse to their homeworld, including their Senator, who asked for a leave of absence and a . All of this information was false, meant only to scare the Mandalorians out of attacking Zongorlu. It seemed somewhat effective, since it led many Mandalorians on Taris to pester Koblus Sornell with questions about what Zongorlu looked like.
