Vorzyd 4
this planet, the homeworld of the Vorzydiak race, was the fourth world in the Vorzyd System. Vorzyd 4 was known as the manufacturing center of the Vorzyd Cluster, and produced much of the food and durable goods for the system. Some eleven years before the Battle of Naboo, the Jedi Council was asked to mediate a dispute between Vorzyd 4 and its neighbor, Vorzyd 5. The Vorzydiaks of Vorzyd 4 claimed that the natives of Vorzyd 5 did not want to work for their credits, yet wanted to control the Vorzyd Cluster. The leadership of Vorzyd 4 was unaware that the Freelies were behind the sabotage. Ultimately, the work of Obi-Qan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn helped bring the Freelies and Chairman Port together, and peace was restored - both on Vorzyd 4 and between Vorzyd 4 and Vorzyd 5.

Vorzyd 5
known as the Gambler's World during the reign of Emperor Palpatine, Vorzyd 5 was a casino-covered world under Imperial control. The Emperor maintained the planet in an effort to collect large sums of credits for the Empire. Dozens of space-going holopanels and billboards announced the planet's location throughout the system. The various gamblers and party-goers were a mix of the richest and most influential beings in the galaxy, all come to wager their credits in games of chance. Many of the games were heavily rigged, and brought substantial amounts of money to the Empire's coffers. Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa attempted to disrupt the operation shortly after the Battle of Yavin, but were captured in the attempt. They were rescued by Alliance supporters.

Vorzydiak
this was the alien race which was native to the planets Vorzyd 4 and Vorzyd 5. In general usage, those beings native to Vorzyd 4 were referred to as Vorzyd 4's; Vorzyd 5's were the Vorzydiaks native to Vorzyd 5. The average Vorzydiak resembled a human being, but had wider eyes and a pair of long antennae sprouting from their head. Most Vorzydiaks attended school every day of the week until the age of ten, when they started working one day a week in the factories of their homeworld. Each year, they worked an additional day each week until, at the age of seventeen, they worked full-time, seven days a week. At the age of seventy, a Vorzydiak was allowed to retire, being deemed to old to keep up with the younger Vorzydiaks. Most Vorzydiaks died shortly after retiring, being unable to adapt to life without work. As a people, Vorzydiaks tended to be isolationists, and rarely made contact with other beings or worlds. They were also minimalists, and tended to value conformity and stasis.
