Seriously, it would seem by the Zsinj arc that the NR still hasn't gotten around to helping the people there. Did they ever, and how long did it take?

I always wondered that. Unless it was REALLY deep in Imperial space that it was impossible to get to. Frankly I think it was a valid question in 'Isards Revenge' why the NR still hasn't done anything about that world, when it's supposed to only have a minor blockade of corvettes...

Because the NR simply don't have the military resources to occupy the worlds it co-opted from the Empire........

Its more and more likely that what the Rebels did was to go on a propganda blitz when the Imps pulled backed after Endor, convert as many systems as possible, get as much ships together as possible and hit Coruscant, thus gaining legitimacy and then re-cconverting "independent" worlds and sectors.

But even years after gaining legitimacy, they still don't seem to have bothered. Honestly, I'm looking for any canon reference to them being helped, because otherwise its going to be one more nail in the coffin for the NR's moral high ground, and I'm trying to not just assume this to be the case(why, I'm not sure).

I'd just assumed they'd got round to it at some point and nothing of note had occured, so it was never mentioned. :?

IIRC, there were numerous failed attempts by the Rebels to retake Toprawa post-Endor, but they were repulsed by the forces of the Imperial Governor, Faylon Baatar. The garrison there was powerful and entrenched, and the still-weak New Republic had far more pressing problems to deal with then a sparsely populated Outer Rim world. Eventually (I believe after Baatar's death), the Imperial Remnant (or some Warlord, I don't recall which) withdrew most of the Toprawa garrison and the planet was liberated.
