They were re-discovered eight years after the Battle of Endor by the New Republic. The world contains natural resources vital in the construction of proton torpedoes.
[edit]
Af'El
Af'El is the homeworld to the Defel. It is a high-gravity planet with no ozone layer and orbits the ultraviolet supergiant Ka'Dedus. Because of the lack of ozone, ultraviolet light passes freely to the surface, while other light wavelengths are blocked by the heavy gases in the planet's atmosphere. Thus, all lifeforms on Af'El can only see in ultraviolet light ranges, and are blind to other wavelengths of light.
[edit]
Alderaan
Main article: Alderaan
Alderaan, seen in Episodes III and IV, is the home of Princess Leia Organa, Bail Organa and also, in 4000 BBY, Ulic Qel-Droma, who fought in The Great Sith War. Its name is actually an archaic and disused astronomical name (Alderaan (real)). It was known for its peaceful and nature-conscious citizens and vibrant, melodic culture. The planet's citizens had no weapons and space pilots had to have port authorities hold theirs while they were on the planet. It was tragically destroyed by the Death Star in 0 BBY. The planet is similar to Chandrila and Naboo, and also resembles Earth. Alderaan is also the homeworld of the Nerf and the Thranta. [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

The system was controlled by Grand Admiral Osvald Teshik, who also commanded the Imperial Oversector (Sector 0).
The planet is populated mostly by humans and boasts 512 million citizens, most of whom speak Basic. The terrain consists of plains, forests, and mountains.
The world has been associated with the Azure Imperium, Galactic Republic, Galactic Empire, and the New Republic. [11]
[edit]
Ando
Located in the Mid Rim, Ando is home to the aquatic Aqualish. Ando is an ocean world orbited by two moons. Ninety-five percent of the surface is covered in water, and what little land remains is complemented by Aqualish sailing ships used as mobile homes. Once the Aqualish discovered space travel, they explored Ando's sister world, though a series of inter-species wars left it decimated and barren. [12]
[edit]
Ando Prime
Ando Prime is an icy, mountainous planet that hosts many podraces. It is featured in the game Star Wars: Episode I Racer, and in Attack of the Clones it can be seen briefly on a view screen in the nightclub.

"Ansion is a quiet, rural world that nonetheless stands in as a keystone of galactic alliance building-" -- Star Wars Insider Issue #80.
[edit]
Anoat
Anoat is a planet that lies in the Anoat system. The star system lies between the Hoth and Bespin systems. The Millennium Falcon passed through the relatively deserted system while escaping from the Empire. Toxic waste infected Anoat and the terraformed planet Deyer, forcing the populations to move offworld. In the game Star Wars: Dark Forces, Kyle Katarn is sent to Anoat to investigate a lead in the Dark Trooper project.

[edit]
Artus
Artus is the location of an Imperial mine. The crystals mined there, used in conjunction with the well of Force power in the Valley of the Jedi, were able to enfuse Imperial soldiers with Force abilities. This dangerous force was destroyed by the Jedi, who had the advantage of full training. This represents a turning point in the plot of Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, when Jan Ors is captured and apparently killed by Tavion.
[edit]

[edit]
Bakura
Bakura is a small, pastoral planet on the outskirts of known space, just outside the Moddell sector. Bakura was the site of the truce between the Galactic Empire and the New Republic. Bakura was also the site of the Battle of Bakura against the reptilian Ssi-Ruuk which used the life essences of their human captives to power their war machines.
During the war with the Yuuzhan Vong, the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium attempted to assimilate Bakura through deceit. The timely rebellion by the Ssi-Ruuvi servants the P'w'ecks saved the day, but it was all a plot by the Vong to defeat the Ssi-Ruuk.
Bakura's only native sentient species is the Kurtzen, although its most populous sentient species is human. They are also known for their repulsorlift industry, though the people are quite distrustful of droids.
Bakura manufactures some of the Galactic Empire's Star Destroyers. Bakura is prominently featured in the Kathy Tyers novel The Truce at Bakura.
It is also a planet Jaden Korr visits in Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. [17] [18] [19]
[edit]
Bandomeer
Bandomeer is in the first two books of the Jedi Apprentice series by Jude Watson and Dave Wolverton. If a Jedi Learner isn't chosen to be a Padawan by the age of 13, they will be excluded from all further training and sent to Bandomeer to work with the Agri Corps, where they grow crops. There are also several mining guilds on the planet. Offworld Corporation is one of the more corrupt organizations with operations on the world.
On Bandomeer, Qui-Gon Jinn's former apprentice, Xanatos, attempts to take revenge on him, but fails. Obi-Wan Kenobi is sent to Bandomeer, but is captured by mine lords. There, he is enslaved to work on mines and meets a friend who helps him escape. Bandomeer has vast traces of valuable ionite, which scrambles electronic fields. Bandomeer has a huge ocean that covers about half the planet.
[edit]

[edit]
Bastion
Bastion is the current capital world of the Imperial Remnant, and the Sector capital for the far flung Braxant Sector in the Outer Rim Territories. "Bastion" was originally a codename for the Imperial capital as it was moved repeatedly as the Imperials were forced to retreat again and again during the Galactic Civil War. The original name for the planet now known as Bastion seems to have been largely forgotten.
Bastion is a planet with varied climates, much like Earth in reality, and is said to be a fairly pleasant world, one of the few in Imperial space with amenities comparable to Coruscant. It is also, however, a heavily defended position, or "fortress world" as the Empire called such positions in the late stages of the Galactic Civil War. In addition to planetary deflector shield generators, Bastion is the home port of the Braxant Sector Fleet, which includes such prestigious ships as the Star Destroyers Relentless, Ironhand, Tyrannic and Obliterator. Also, at one point, an unnamed Super Star Destroyer (presumably Executor-class) was seen in orbit over Bastion, although it is unknown whether or not this mighty vessel was part of the Braxant Sector Fleet.
During the war with the Yuuzhan Vong, the Imperial forces defending Bastion were heavily damaged and forced to retreat. In the ensuing chaos, the capital city of Bastion, and the Empire itself, was burned to the ground by Yuuzhan Vong orbital strikes. Rebuilding efforts are still underway, and the loss of life was great, but when compared to the absolute devastation of worlds such as Coruscant and Ithor, Bastion got off easy.
[edit]
Belgaroth
Belgaroth is a planet in the Core Worlds that is covered in toxic waste dumps, junkyards, and scrap yards. The planet was chosen as a proving ground for Imperial weapons, but the residents didn't care, as it meant money and jobs. When the New Republic took control of the planet, the residents were just as happy with their rule as they were with the Imperials' rule. [21]
[edit]
Belkadan
Belkadan is the location of the outpost of ExGal 4. It was located in the Dalonbian Sector in the far Outer Rim. Yomin Carr, a Yuuzhan Vong warrior, spent time studying the galaxy here, to prepare for the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. The planet was once a tropical planet, but Yomin Carr used a colony of dweebits to alter the planet drastically, so it could be used to grow yorik coral for the Yuuzhan Vong.
[edit]
Bellassa
Bellassa is a thriving peaceful world. The capital is Ussa, a pleasant city with seven large tranquil lakes. Obi-Wan Kenobi goes to Bellassa after learning on Tatooine that one former Jedi survived the purges.
[edit]
Berchest
Berchest is best known for its "City of Glowing Crystal" (Calius saj Leeloo), a popular tourist attraction. It is a naturally made formation of red-orange salt deposits created along the coast of the Leefari Sea. After the Battle of Endor, Berchest remained under Imperial control and Grand Admiral Thrawn, who threw off Luke Skywalker with false leads that Thrawn was massing his armies of Clone Troopers there. During this investigation, Skywalker encounters Talon Karrde for the first time.
[edit]
Bespin
Main article: Bespin
Bespin, seen in Episodes V and VI, is the planet over which Cloud City hovers suspended by an antigravity pod, in The Empire Strikes Back.

The entire Bogden system is overrun by criminal fugitives, and smugglers. Bogden is, as the name implies, a swampy, boggy, mucky terrained world.
[edit]
Bonadan
Bonadan is one of the Bothan homeworlds. [27]
[edit]
Borleias
Borleias is the fourth planet of the Pyria system, and is also known by the Alliance codename "Blackmoon". The Alderaan Biotics facility, which was a hydroponics facility run by General Evir Derricote that grew Alderaanian foodstuffs, was based on this planet. Due to its proximity to the Galactic Core, the Alliance took this planet as a step towards the capital world Coruscant. [28] [29]
During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, Borleias fell and was used as a staging point for the assault on Coruscant. During the retreat from Coruscant, forces under the command of General Wedge Antilles captured the world for a second time, holding it for several weeks against the Vuzzhan Vong.
[edit]
Bothawui
Bothawui is a cosmopolitan planet serving as the homeworld of the Bothan race, as well as a major hub for information trafficking. The Bothan spy network is widely seen as the best in the galaxy and much of the information it carries comes through Bothawui at some point. The Imperial name for the planet was Bothawui Proper. Bothawui is in the center of Bothan Space. [30] [31] [32]
[edit]
Boz Pity
Boz Pity is a cemetery world, and was a setting for one of the Outer Rim Sieges near the end of the Clone Wars. The planet has been described as bleak and grisly. Jedi Master Quinlan Vos moved his clone troops there during the Outer Rim Sieges. Boz Pity was also the site of a massive battle near the end of the Clone Wars between the Jedi and General Grievous. Obi-Wan Kenobi discovered Asajj Ventress barely alive in a bacta tank inside a Separatist medical facility hidden on the planet. Ventress nearly died in the battle, but Kenobi refused to give into his own dark feelings and allowed her to live—only so she could escape capture and disappear.
[edit]
Bpfassh
Bpfassh is a planet in Sluis sector. The inhabitants are noted for their extreme suspicion of Jedi—before the Clone Wars, a large group of Bpfasshi Jedi fell to the Dark Side and rampaged throughout the planet and sector; they would eventually be defeated by a large Jedi Order taskforce (which included Joruus C'Baoth). The last surviving Bpfasshi Dark Jedi commandeered the smuggler kingpin Jorj Car'das' ship, and fled to Dagobah, where he was defeated by Yoda. His final resting place became the cave permeated with the dark side where Luke Skywalker had a vision in The Empire Strikes Back. [33]
[edit]
Brachnis Chorios
Brachnis Chorios is a cold, greenish-lavender planet on the outer edge of the Chorios Systems, far from the triple stars and deep within the Meridian Sector. Although fairly unpopulated, the world's largest moon was designated as a meeting place between Leia Organa Solo and Seti Ashgad just prior to the Death Seed outbreak. [34]
[edit]
Brentaal
Brentaal is a core world that sits upon the intersection of the Perlemian Trade Route and the Hydian Way. Because it lies at the intersection of these two major trade routes, its economy centers around trade and business. All of its 65 billion inhabitants live in the narrow valleys across the planet, resulting in major overpopulation. [35]
[edit]
Brigia
Brigia is a planet in the Outer Rim, once home to a Rebel base. The planet was abandoned by the Rebellion when they suspected (correctly) that the Empire was going to attack it. It appears only briefly, during the computer game X-Wing.
[edit]
Budpock
Budpock is a New Republic-aligned planet in the Meridian sector. However, the world is also a haven for pirate gangs. Many of these groups attack neighboring Ampliquen. [36]
[edit]
Byss
Main article: Byss
There were two planets known as Byss in the Star Wars Universe.
The first Byss appeared in the Dark Horse Comics series Dark Empire as a Deep Core world located very near the center of the galaxy. It was a dark clouded planet, with a nearly inhospitable and turbulent atmosphere. It was also very strong in the dark side of the Force, having been a place where ancient Sith artifacts were stored. Palpatine invited millions of people to the planet, tricking them into thinking it was a paradise worth visiting. Once the people arrived, he enslaved them and tapped into their life energies, making the planet even stronger in the dark side. It later became the reborn Emperor's throne world where a massive city of towers was constructed on the surface. It was surrounded by enormous orbital shipyards where the Super Star Destroyers Eclipse I and II were built along with the rest the Emperor's reborn star fleet. Byss was destroyed when R2-D2 reprogrammed the Eclipse II and sent it colliding into the Galaxy Gun. In the confusion, the Galaxy Gun accidentally launched one of its planet-destroying missiles right into Byss, annihilating the planet.
The second Byss is the homeworld of the Abyssin species. [37] [38] [39]

Caamas
Caamas is a toxic planet in the Cirius System that was formerly a highly populated habitable world, until the Empire bombarded it shortly after the Clone Wars, killing nearly all the inhabitants of the planet. The native Caamasi were a peaceful civilization, much like Alderaan, so, naturally, they were at the top of Palpatine's list of planets to be destroyed. The destruction of Caamas remained a mystery for some time because Caamas had a very powerful planetary shield, and the Empire somehow managed to bring it down. It was later revealed in the The Hand of Thrawn Duology that it was sabotaged by a group of Bothans working for the Empire. The issue with the Caamas document nearly tore the New Republic apart, which was actually a clever scheme devised by Moff Disra, who went against Admiral Pellaeon's wishes of peace. [1] [2] [3]
[edit]
Cadomai
Cadomai is a frigid world that is home to the Snivvians.
[edit]
Cal-Seti

[edit]
Carida
Carida is first mentioned in the Star Wars Expanded Universe as the site of an Imperial training academy. It was a large planet with high gravity and a large variety of climates. The planet was destroyed by Jedi Master Kyp Durron using the Sun Crusher, a superweapon that fires missiles into stars and causes them to go supernova, destroying everything within their solar systems. At the time, Kyp Durron was under the influence (but not control) of the Sith Lord Exar Kun. [4] [5] [6]
Carida is also the homeworld of Admiral Ozzel.
[edit]
Castell
Castell is the homeworld of the Gossam. During the Clone Wars, Castell was the headquarters of the Commerce Guild.
[edit]
Cathar
Cathar is the homeworld of the cat-like species of the same name. Cathar was one of the worlds conquered by the Mandalorians during the Mandalorian War.
It has terrain alike to that of Earth with fields, forests and oceans.
[edit]
Cato Neimoidia
One of the Neimoidian "purse-worlds", Cato Neimoidia is the location of Nute Gunray's secret redoubt and was seen in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. It is a colony world of the planet Neimoidia. The planet is famous for its bridges. Towards the end of the Clone Wars, the Republic launched an attack on the fortress, led by Jedi Knights Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. The battle takes place in Labyrinth of Evil by James Luceno.
In Revenge of the Sith, Cato Neimoidia is the planet where Plo Koon leads Republic forces against the separatists. When Order 66 is implemented by Palpatine, clone pilots shoot the Jedi Master down.
What is unclear is whether or not George Lucas intended Cato Neimoidia to be the original homeworld of the Neimoidians. The planet Neimoidia is supposedly where they originate from, but that is an Expanded Universe concept.
[edit]
Centares
Centares is a terrestrial planet with a temperate climate and no moons. Its population is estimated to be about one billion. It was on this planet where Darth Vader learned the name of Luke Skywalker.
[edit]
Cerea
Cerea is a temperate, forested planet that is the homeworld of the species of the Cereans. Ki-Adi-Mundi is from this planet. The planet was the site of nearly constant battling during the Clone Wars, but Ki-Adi-Mundi and his clone troopers were able to successfully defend it.
[edit]
Chad
Chad, also known as Chad III, is the homeworld of Jedi Knight Callista and the Chadra-Fan species. Chad is largely covered by ocean, where some humans make a living by following herds of cy'een. There are also extensive swamps and marshes where the Chadra-Fan reside. [7] [8]
[edit]
Chandrila
Chandrila is the home planet of Mon Mothma and is the second planet in the Chandrila System. The planet is filled with lush greenland, rolling hills, vast oceans, and immense, pristine cities. The inhabitants are very democratic and environmentally friendly. Debates are encouraged on a regular basis in a debate rotunda that is located in nearly every settlement on the planet. The planet was a supporter of the Rebel Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. In the computer game Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, Grand Moff Kohl Seerdon led an invasion of the planet and intended to blockade the capital city, Hanna, with walls. Luke Skywalker led a reclamation effort with Rogue Squadron and forced Seerdon to retreat. [9]
Chandrila is also visited by the main character in the Jedi Academy computer game. It is depicted as large, misty caverns underground, filled with glowing crystals and has a eery feeling. The chasm area visited is filled with ancient Jedi tombs

[edit]
Corellia
Main article: Corellia
Corellia is the homeworld of the infamous Corellians, including Han Solo, Wedge Antilles and Garm Bel Iblis. It is the capital planet of the Corellian sector, and of the Corellian system which includes Corellia, Selonia, Drall and the double worlds of Talus and Tralus. In the days of the Galactic Republic, it was ruled by a Diktat, or governor, while the sector had a seat in the Galactic Senate. The Corellian Security Force (CorSec) polices the planet. Corellia is famous for its spacefaring culture, alcohol, smugglers, pirates, and general rogue tradition. Most of the planet itself is green and lush, with great, cosmopolitan cities such as its capital, Coronet, alongside forests, beaches, swamps, gently rolling grasslands, and spectacular mountains. Large space stations and shipyards, as well as most of the industry, are located in orbit. [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18]
The planet shows up in the Nintendo 64 video game Star Wars: Rogue Squadron.
[edit]
Corulag
Corulag is a populated terrestrial world located in the Corulus System. Corulag was a Core World—that is, it lay close to the center of the galaxy and very near to the capital of the New Republic, Coruscant. The population is mostly human with Wookiees, Aqualish, Ithorians and Selkaths representing it as well. The terrain of the planet includes urban areas, oceans, plains, bamboo forests, and jungles.
In The Unifying Force, the nineteenth and final novel in the New Jedi Order series, Corulag was the site of a battle between elements of the New Republic fleet led by Galactic Alliance generals Wedge Antilles and Garm Bel Iblis en route to an attack on Coruscant, and invading Yuuzhan Vong forces.
[edit]
Coruscant
Main article: Coruscant
Coruscant, seen in Episodes I, II, III and VI, was the capital of the Old Republic, the Galactic Empire, the New Republic, the Galactic Alliance, and the Yuuzhan Vong occupation at various times. It is generally agreed that Coruscant is the most important world in the Star Wars galaxy, evidenced by the fact that its hyperspace coordinates are (0,0,0). The planet is essentially one giant city, with skyscrapers jutting several kilometers into the atmosphere. Approximately 1 trillion people inhabit the planet. When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded, they destroyed one of its four moons and used massive dovin basals to move the planet into a tighter orbit, allowing lush vegetation to grow on it. It was then called Yuuzhan'tar ("Creche of the Gods", in the Yuuzhan Vong language) and made the capital of the Yuuzhan Vong occupation until being recaptured by the Galactic Alliance. [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28]

Cybloc is a greenish planet orbiting the star Erg Es 992 in the Meridian Sector. One of its moons, Cybloc XII, housed a New Republic trade base. However, the region was purged during the Death Seed incident. [29]
[edit]
Dagobah
Main article: Dagobah
Dagobah is the name of both a planet and the system in which it resides. The planet appears in the films The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi and, while not shown in Revenge of the Sith, it is mentioned by Yoda.
After Darth Vader hunted down nearly all of the Jedi, Jedi Master Yoda hid in a swamp on Dagobah where a cave strong with the dark side of the Force hid him from detection by the Emperor (it appears that the dark side presence neutralized Yoda's light side presence). The cave first became imbued with the dark side when the last surviving Dark Jedi of the Bpfasshi insurrection fled to Dagobah with Jorj Car'das during the Clone Wars. Yoda somehow knew that the Dark Jedi would be in the cave, and made it there before him, and when the Dark Jedi arrived, fought him in a stupendous three-day-long Force battle. At the end of the battle, the Dark Jedi died, but the dark side residue remained in the cave, helping to shield Yoda's presence on Dagobah. The massive array and diversity of life forms present on Dagobah also aided Yoda to avoid capture. In Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, Luke Skywalker is visited on the ice planet Hoth by the ghost of Obi-Wan Kenobi, who tells him to go seek Master Yoda on Dagobah to be trained as a Jedi. [30] [31]
[edit]
Damonite Yors-B
Damonite Yors-B is a cold, icy planet in the Meridian Sector that was a possible location of Princess Leia during her kidnapping nine years after the Battle of Endor. [32]
[edit]
Dankayo
Dankayo was a world used as a Rebel base between the Battle of Yavin and the Battle of Hoth. Imperial forces mutilated the planet's surface, turning it into a single vast terrain of molten lava. It was here that the Empire's Magma Trooper division was first used.
[edit]
Dantooine
Main article: Dantooine
Dantooine was mentioned only once in the Star Wars films. In A New Hope, Princess Leia tries to fool Grand Moff Tarkin into believing that the Rebel base is located there. Tarkin replies that Dantooine is "too remote" to use the Death Star on (the deciding factor here seems to be a political and social impact rather than military necessity).

Neither world was inhabited until Lando Calrissian established a mining operation within the system's asteroid field. Dubrillion became his base of operations, which quickly grew into a luxury city. The planet was one of the first to fall during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. The Yuuzhan Vong caused a massacre when New Republic forces arrived to help evacuate the planet.
[edit]
Duro
Duro is home to the alien race of the same name. Duros are interested in exploration (some credit them with inventing the hyperdrive) and have ventured off their home world to explore the galaxy, leaving Duro in a state of ruin. The Empire ruined the planet's ecosystem and forced all the remaining Duros to move off the planet into orbiting city stations. The Empire also removed Duro from its own sector, placing it in the Corellian Sector, though the New Republic switched it back (it is sometimes still believed to be in the Corellian Sector). During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, Duro became a refugee world, causing overcrowding in the orbital space stations. The Yuuzhan Vong overtook Duro, but the New Republic won it back during a series of raids prior to the Battle of Ebaq 9. Duro was once again lush after the Yuuzhan Vong 'Vongforming' efforts.
During the Clone Wars, the Confederacy of Independent Systems spearheaded Operation Durge's Lance, a co-ordinated and major campaign that led to the capture of Duro. General Grievous was the commander of the operation. The swift success of the campaign sent shockwaves throughout the Galactic Republic, and even neutral Corellia began to tighten its defences.
Neimoidians, such as Nute Gunray, are descendents of Duro colonists of Neimoidia. [43]

Elom
Elom is home to Eloms and the Elomin. For centuries, the two species lived unknown to one another, with Eloms living deep underground to access the planet's natural springs, and the Elomin living a technologically advanced life on the surface.
Eloms are primitive and peaceful, and evolved on the surface in times long passed. Only later did they adapt to subterranean life, evolving larger claws for digging and acquiring an extreme sensitivity to bright light. They live in communities called cseria, annually meeting to solve problems and to trade goods.
The Elomin became aware of Eloms during an expedition inside the caves of the A'driannamieq Mountains. Due to the rigid perceptions of order and structure in the Elomin world, they found the concept of underground Eloms difficult to grasp. Accordingly, the mountain explorers never reported to their findings to the Elomin Council.
When Elom became part of the Galactic Republic, a lucrative trading deal was struck with the Elomin, with precious lommite ore from the planet's crust being exported from the planet. A cave-in during the mining operation revealed the Elom civilization again to the Elomin, and the Republic began to investigate, finding Eloms to be sentient and giving them land-rights over an area of the planet. The Elomin began a resource-sharing program with their newly discovered co-habitors, although they were hesitant in entering such a deal with a culture they found so strange and alien. The Eloms, for their part, were content to persist in their subterranean existence.
When the Empire assumed control over the planet, the Elomin were forced into slavery and Eloms' land ownership was revoked. Most Eloms sought an existence even deeper underground, but occasionally young Eloms would journey up to free Elomin slaves using "mining accidents", despite the disapproving sentiment among the Elom elders.
Eloms rarely journey off the planet Elom, and those who do show sociopathic streaks in their personalities, possibly because of their separation from their native environment.
[edit]
Elrood
Elrood is a primary planet in the Elrood System near the Rimma Trade Route. It has two moons, Sharene and Lodos. The sector itself contains "The Drift" and the nebulous Degan Gas Clouds making navigation somewhat hazardous for inexperienced pilots. During the era of the Galactic Empire, Elrood was controlled by the sinister Moff Villis Andal.
[edit]
Empress Teta
Empress Teta is a planet in the Empress Teta System. Formerly known as Koros Major, it was renamed after Empress Teta, who in 5,000 BBY unified all the planets in the system. Since the capital city of Cinnagar covers more than half the planet, the planet itself is also often referred to as Cinnagar.
After the Battle of Endor and the fall of the Galactic Empire, several Imperial generals fled to Empress Teta in hopes of escaping Luke Skywalker's Jedi that would come for them. They resided there for many years, where they whiled away their time by planning revenge on the newly formed Republic. One of the weapons they created while on Empress Teta was the Cinnagar Death Star. However, the inhabitants of Empress Teta rose up in revolt against the generals, spurred on by help that arrived in the form of Jedi from Coruscant. The battle grew fierce, and the Imperial generals unleashed several of their weapons against both the natives and the Jedi. The end result was that three-quarters of the planet was environmentally ruined by the weapons. Eventually, the Jedi overcame the generals. After the battle, the brutally battered yet still standing planet sought to be left in peace from the galaxy. Empress Teta is now a broken and dead planet, trying to heal from its wounds.

It was discovered by one of the Trade Federation's human pilots, Vana Sage, who overheard a communication about the illegal invasion of Naboo. The Federation attempted to murder her, but she escaped and stumbled upon the small planet. After she had met up with her counterpart, Reti, as well as Reese Dallows and Nym, they went to destroy the droid factory there. Once it was destroyed, the heroes went to help liberate Naboo. Eos was never used again after its original factory was destroyed. Eos is featured in the game Star Wars: Starfighter.

Felucia is home to some strange species of plants and animals, including the acklay. This planet was colonized by the Gossam in 40,000 BBY.
[edit]
Fest
Fest is the primary planet in the Fest System. The planet is ravaged by civil war both among its inhabitants and against Mantooine. The Festians were rebellious to the Empire and knew that it was about to attack Mantooine, but the distrust for each other, coupled with a lack of communications facilities, prevented them from warning the other planet.
Fest is dominated by steep mountain ranges and deep valleys. The planet appears in two Star Wars games. In Star Wars: Dark Forces, in a rocky and cliffy region there is an Imperial research facility concerned with the weapons of the Dark Troopers. In a level of the Nintendo 64 game Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, in a snowy region resembling Hoth, there appears a factory plane specializing in the production of AT-ATs and AT-PTs.

During the war, Rogue Squadron stole TIE Hunters and used them to infiltrate the Star Destroyer construction yards, beginning a big battle. The strategically valuable planet became a target during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion; it was saved from Vong invasion when a blast from Centerpoint Station directed by Thrackan Sal-Solo destroyed a portion of the enemy fleet. However Fondor was saved at the cost of the Hapan war fleet, which was caught in the inexpertly aimed weapon's destructive blast. Fondor would continue to supply the Galactic Alliance with starships in the war. [6] [7]

Haruun Kal ("Above the Clouds" in the language of its natives) was the homeworld of the famed Jedi Master Mace Windu.
The first and only habitable world in the Al'har system, Haruun Kal appeared to be an oceanic world from space. However, this "ocean" was in fact a sea of toxic gases brought to the surface by volcanic activity, and broken by mountains and plateaus. Only the landmasses which reached into the atmosphere could support life, and thus it was high in these mountains and plateaus where native life evolved. This is also the homeworld of Mace Windu, Jedi Knight.

[edit]
Hypori
After the Battle of Naboo, the Republic passed strict laws that severely hampered the manufacture and distribution of battle droid armies. Massive corporate entities like the Trade Federation appeared to comply with the new legislation, shutting down numerous factories within the Republic borders. In truth, they simply moved the bulk of their operations to worlds outside the Republic's jurisdiction, continuing their work in secret.
Geonosis was one of the largest of these covert foundries. The nearby world of Hypori was another. A temperate world rich with minerals, Hypori has no intelligent life. The leaders of the Baktoid Armor Workshop sponsored a colonial effort, transporting an entire Geonosian hive to Hypori. Though the tough bedrock and soil proved difficult to assimilate into a true and proper hive-mound, the Geonosian workers nonetheless turned the planet into a massive foundry, churning out battle droids in preparation for the war to come.
Jedi Master Daakman Barrek discovered the foundry during an intelligence-gathering mission with his padawan Sha'a Gi. The two reported it to Coruscant, who dispatched an elite Jedi taskforce complete with clone trooper infantry to destroy the facility. Disguised orbital mines crippled much of the taskforce before it even made planetfall.
On the surface, the Separatist military commander, General Grievous, led the battle droid army that destroyed what remained of the taskforce.

Instead, it is provided light and warmth by the energies of the nebula and barely supports life. The planet is lit up on all sides by the glow of the nebula and never experiences nightfall. The radiation that bombards it is so intense that most inhabitants of the planet will go blind within a few days if not wearing visual protection. It is surrounded by dozens of rocky moons that all drift along with it. Iego's location, and its existence, is hotly debated among spacers. Those who go looking for it are said to never return, having been killed travelling through the dangerous nebula, while others who come back have incredible stories to tell. [18]

Although there are plains and lakes on its surface, most of it is covered by miles-high wroshyr trees, hiding beneath their branches the dark, swampy Shadowlands. Many high mountains lead up into the clouds. The Wookiees have a long history of warfare with the reptilian Trandoshans from nearby Trandosha. They also fought a large ground battle against the Seperatists during the waning days of the Clone Wars. There are also two urban cities on Kashyyyk. [1] [2]
[edit]
Katarr
Katarr's primary sentient inhabitants are Miraluka, a Force-sensitive race. The planet was sapped of all life by the Sith Lord Darth Nihilus. The only known survivor of this tragedy was Visas Marr, who was taken into bound service by Darth Nihilus. The reason Nihilus drained the Miraluka was for the group of Jedi who were gathering on planet.
[edit]
Kegan
Kegan was once an isolated and simple world near the Outer Rim territories. The planet is very flat, full of fast plains and fields. The people of Kegan believed in a philosophy known as the General Good, which turned out to be merely a manipulation and brainwashing tool used by the leaders of the world, V-Tan and O-Vieve. They set up a "Learning Circle" to brainwash Keganite children into believing that the rest of the galaxy was evil. However, after four Jedi arrived to claim a Force-sensitive child, Kegan learned of the benefits of joining the Republic. Kegan halted its false philosophy, joined the Republic, and abandoned its isolationist beliefs.
[edit]
Kejim
Kejim is the location of an abandoned Imperial base, where some intriuging messages concerning the Valley of the Jedi and "Reborn Jedi" emanate, thus starting the plot of Star Wars Jedi Knight II:Jedi Outcast.
[edit]
Kelchase
Kelchase is the home world of the Kels. Around 20 ABY, many New Jedi Order training Missions took place here. It is a dry barren forest world.
[edit]
Kessel
Kessel is a prison planet and home to one of the galaxy's largest spice mining operations. It is the only source of the glitterstim spice, an extremely rare and valuable drug used therapeutically and euphorically. Located in the Outer Rim, Kessel was administered by Moruth Doole who ran a prison work camp to harvest Glitterstim. Later, Lando Calrissian obtained control of Kessel and replaced the prison workers with droids.
Kessel is located in the Kessel sector, near Hutt Space. Nearby is The Maw, a cluster of black holes. The planet has a barren landscape of rock and a thin atmosphere. The little air it does have is generated at factories on the surface which slowly bleeds away into space leaving a trail behind the planet. It has a moon called Garrison Moon.
The gravity distortions of the nearby Maw warp space tremendously making it very difficult to navigate a starship through it without a highly skilled pilot. Ships approaching Kessel take long winding courses through the Maw to avoid the danger of being sucked into a gravity well. On a mission where he was pressed for time, Han Solo was able to navigate the shortest course through the Maw of only twelve parsecs. With the boosted speed of the Millennium Falcon, Solo managed to haul a load of spice for the Hutts in record time and earned a reputation as a top-rate smuggler. [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
[edit]
Khomm
Khomm is a planet in the core worlds which is a clone world. All of Khomm's people are genderless and cannot support life. This is due to their race reaching a satisfactory stage in their evolution, at which point they switched to a cloning-based society. They have covered their planet's surface with cloning facilities. As a consequence, none of Khomm's people can be Force sensitive, because Khomm's first people were not. This however didn't prevent some kind of random mutation that allowed Dorsk 81 to be Force sensitive. Khomm would be one of the first planets attacked by Admiral Daala's Victory-class Star Destroyer swarms, after she consolidated power in the Core. [8] [9] [10]
[edit]

Kiva
Kiva is a barren and desolate rocky planet. It was once inhabited by a humanoid species, but the planet's surface was destroyed when Imperial scientist Borborygmus Gog conducted a top-secret experiment over his better judgement. The explosion that ensued killed all of the planet's life. Gog and his partner, Mammon Hoole, barely escaped the destruction. The Empire blamed Hoole for the destruction and he, out of shame, abandoned his first name.
Even though the planet was now barren and uninhabitable, Gog maintained a laboratory on Kiva, where he finished "Project Starscream". Project Starscream was a project like the Darktroopers, in which the goal was to create for the Imperial military a seemingly indestructible creature. The original prototype creature was destroyed by Gog (aided by two orphans, Tash and Zak) when it eventually turned on him.
Kiva was also inhabited by a race of shadow people, formed by Gog's explosion, who sought vengeance for their genocide. They accused Mammon Hoole of the destruction, but discovered the real criminal was Gog, whom they destroyed with a burst of hate. After their revenge was finished, they disappeared, since they were beings of hate, obsessed with justice. After this incident Kiva was left barren, desolate, and completely uninhabited. [14] [15]
[edit]
Klatooine
Klatooine (pronounced KLAT-too-een) is the homeworld of the Klatooinians, a highly religious humanoid species who are completely bound by a sacred treaty to the will of the Hutts.

Kothlis is a terrestrial planet located in the Kothlis system It is a Bothan colony, only notable in Shadows of the Empire for being the point where the plans for the second Death Star were recovered by a group of Rebel commandos and heroes, including Dash Rendar and Lando Calrissian. It also gets a level in the video game Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader, titled "Vengeance on Kothlis". In this level, Rogue Squadron reclaims a blockade runner captured by a Star Destroyer. A very similar mission is also portrayed in the game X-wing Alliance. The planet's surface shows surface water and tropical shores; whether this is a running trend is not known.
Kothlis was also the homeworld of New Republic Senator and later Chief of State Borsk Fey'lya. Kothlis is considered second tier to the main Bothan homeworld, Bothawui, making the inhabitants more motivated and achieving than their better off counterparts. [18] [19]

Kuat is home to Kuat Drive Yards. The yards, used to build ships for both the Republic and later the Empire, circle the planet for miles.
Kuat is located in Kuat sector, in the Kuat system, near the Deep Core.
During Imperial control, Kuat could only be accessed via three ports within the main Kuat Traffic Zone, which was along the Hydian Way: a passenger port, a freight port, and a Imperial transfer port.
Accessible to the passenger port were the systems of Redrish, Drurish, Ulion, and Kidir.
Accessible to the freight port were the systems of Monadin, Renegg, Venir, and Horthav.
All systems accessible to the Imperial transfer port were classified. [20] [21] [22] [23] [24]
[edit]
Langoria
Langoria was once home to a thriving alien civilization thought to date back to the glory days of the Jedi, though there is no evidence that this civilization had any contact with Coruscant or the worlds of the Old Republic. What became of this alien civilization is unknown, but all that remains of it are magnificent ruins scattered across the globe, mostly reclaimed by the encroaching wilderness. This alien civilization made use of a strange technology beyond the comprehension of modern science, and though it seems that they did not venture beyond their own planet to explore elsewhere in the galaxy, they were able to accomplish marvelous feats of engineering—carving mountains into the likeness of their leaders or gods, and even somehow altering weather patterns to their liking. It is hypothesized that they abused these abilities, altering their homeworld to such a degree that it was no longer habitable for them.
[edit]
Leria Kerlsil
Leria Kerlsil is a small and rather pleasant world, and the home of Karia Ver Seryan, one of Lando Calrissian's potential suitors.

Malastare
Malastare is referred to several times in The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones, however, it was never seen on screen. According to the Expanded Universe, Malastare is the homeworld of the quadruped Dug race. The Dugs were oppressed by the three-eyed Gran who first landed on and colonized Malastare in 8,000 BBY. In 7,000 BBY, the two species signed a peace treaty that united the planet. Malastare was also a supporter of the Trade Federation, as their loyalties to sending a commission to Naboo in The Phantom Menace show. There is podracing on Malastare, a pastime referred to by Qui-Gon Jinn in The Phantom Menace as "very fast, and very dangerous". The planet shows up in the PlayStation 2 and GameCube videogame Star Wars: Bounty Hunter and Nintendo 64 videogame Star Wars: Episode I Racer. In Racer, Malastare's podracing tracks include Malastare 100, Sebulba's Legacy and Dug Derby. [1]

During the days of the Empire, it was electronically sliced by the droid bounty hunter IG-88. He then converted the planet into his base for an eventual droid revolution, modifying every droid that left the foundries to be similarly self-aware like him and ready to rebel. Unfortunately, the last version of IG-88 was destroyed with the second Death Star, nipping their rebellion in the bud. [3] [4]
[edit]
Melida/Daan
Melida/Daan is a temperate world which, twenty years before the Galactic Civil War, had been the home to a bloody civil war of its own. The factions involved were the Melida and the Daan. The two groups could not come up with a name for their planet, so the Jedi archives compromised.
Neither the Melida nor the Daan could remember the origins of their civil war, only their complete hatred for one another. Battle was glorified; children were trained to use weapons from an early age, and giant martyr-filled tombs, called Halls of Evidence, dotted the skyline of the severely damaged capital city of Zehava. Most of the middle-aged people of Melida/Daan were dead from previous battles, and the armies consisted primarily of the elderly.
However, a youth organization called the Young despised the civil war, and took a stand. During a mission to Melida/Daan to rescue the Jedi Knight Tahl, Obi-Wan Kenobi briefly left the Jedi Order to assist the Young in uniting the planet. They succeeded in stopping the civil war, and focused on rebuilding the destroyed world.
[edit]
Meridias
Meridias is a radioactive wasteland of a planet that was once the home of the Grissmaths, who used neighboring Nam Chorios as a prison facility.

[edit]
Mytus VII
Mytus is a small, rocky planet with low gravity. It hardly has an atmosphere, floating in the asteroid field of the Mytus System. It was once home to the Corporate Sector Authority prison, commonly known as Star's End. Star's End was destroyed by Han Solo in a jailbreak prior to the Battle of Yavin, when Solo overloaded the power generators of the prison—but since the prison was formed out of molecularly-bonded carbon, instead of blowing up, the prison was launched like a rocket. It was not able to achieve escape velocity, and when it fell back to the surface of Mytus VII, it was rendered unusable. [19] [20]
[edit]
Naboo
Main article: Naboo
Naboo, seen in Episodes I, II, III, and VI, is a small planet located in the Chommell sector.

Some portions of the world are extremely rocky, while other regions consist of flat plains with crystal formations. The rocky regions are home to gun turrets that prevent the escape of the drochs and prisoners. As of nine years after the Battle of Endor, the two main factions on the planet were the Rationalist followers and the Theran followers. The Loronar Corporation also attempted to plunder the world's crystal formations for use in weaponry and synthdroids.
Over 700 years before the Battle of Endor, the Grissmath Dynasty, originally from the planet Meridias, used Nam Chorios as a prison colony. They brought the insectlike Drochs to the world, which carried the Death Seed plague. This plague terrorized the entire Meridian Sector roughly nine years after the Battle of Endor. However, Nam Chorios quickly recovered from the plague, although the future of the region of the space is not common knowledge. [24] [25]

The Royal House of Alderaan, in the person of Leia Organa-Solo and her children, continue to hold sovereignty of both New Alderaan and the Alderaan systems. The government on New Alderaan administers the former Alderaan system.
[edit]
New Apsolon
New Apsolon is a temperate, highly populated world that was once under the control of a dictatorship. The Civilized, or Absolutes/Nobles, had complete control over the lesser class, the Workers. The Workers staged a revolution against the Civilized, a scene similar to that of the Russian Revolution. However, since the destruction of the dictatorship, the Civilized and Workers have been locked in tension. Murder and deception are commonplace.
The Jedi Tahl was sent with Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi on a mission to rescue two young Apsolon leaders after the murder of their father. The mission resulted in the death of Tahl, and Qui-Gon's vengeance and investigation of the corruption on New Apsolon. Even after the mission's success, New Apsolon remained in unrest. Thankfully, the government pressed on, hoping to fuse the gap between the Absolutes and Workers. However, New Apsolon's current status remains unknown.

[edit]
Nkllon
Lando Calrissian operated a mining operation on the super-hot world of Nkllon; the operation was destroyed when Grand Admiral Thrawn attacked, stealing over half the mining machines and disabling the refinery. Because it orbits so close to its star, Nkllon's day side experiences temperatures high enough to melt durasteel, and space traffic must slave sublight engines to shieldships designed to survive such extremes. [32] [33] [34]
[edit]
Nubia
Nubia is located on the outer edge of the Core Worlds. The Nubians developed parts for star ships, including the hyperdrive for the the Queen's royal Naboo cruiser in The Phantom Menace.
The Nubian Design Collective is a loose grouping of designers and engineers who colonized the planet roughly 300 years before the Battle of Naboo. The collective is comprised of a number of spacefaring species that accept small contracts for wealthy clients. Nubian technology was used all throughout the galaxy and was readily available on most Republic worlds. When the Empire rose to power, the collective went underground to keep experimental designs away from Imperial hands. Shortly after the Battle of Endor, the collective resurfaced with a completely new catalog. Among the collective's products are the Scurrg H-6 Bomber and J-Type Diplomatic Barge.

During the Clone Wars, the Confederacy of Independent Systems, or the Separatist army, seized Rhen Var with an army so big that the Republic base had to evacuate the planet. Obi-Wan Kenobi informed the Jedi Council about the seizure of the planet. After the liberation of Kashyyyk Moon, the Galactic Republic retook Rhen Var. After The Great Sith War (4,000 BBY), Ulic Qel-Droma sought refuge on Rhen Var, and he is buried there.

Colonization from the Hutt races brought the planet under control. Much of the planet became stripped of its natural resources and polluted to support the Hutts' way of life. Huttese became the official language and was adopted by the new Rodian generation. Thirty-six years later the Hutts were overthrown and killed.
Rodians who work in the service of the Hutts are often rewarded and have better opportunities than others on Rodia. [3] [4]

By the time of the Empire's reign, Ruusan was forgotten and used by independent spacers and merchants as a base of operations.
However, the Valley of the Jedi was rediscovered by Kyle Katarn and Jan Ors. When Kyle decided to take up his old title as Jedi Knight, he went to the Valley of the Jedi to regain his powers. This act led two Dark Jedi to discover the valley, and enfused an army of Imperial troops with Force Powers. Luckily, the troops that weren't captured or killed by trained Jedi blew up when their flagship blew up.

There is a gang war in the Lower City and the Undercity is populated by monsters called rakghouls.
Situated on a hyperspace transport hub, Taris was once an important galactic presence but at the time of the game is decaying rapidly. One sprawling city covers the entirety of the planet surface. However, in most images there appears to be a long strip on the planet. This is believed to be due to an ocean.
The less affluent citizens live underground, in the Undercity or Lower City. After the player rescues the Jedi Bastila, who has been taken prisoner by lower city gangs, the group flees the planet in the Ebon Hawk, a ship stolen from a local crime boss named Davik. Shortly afterward, Taris is destroyed by the Sith forces under the command of the Dark Lord Malak. Unlike Alderaan, the planet itself survives intact although its surface is completely devastated by orbital bombardment.

Tatooine is also home to much crime and activities that go along with it. This planet has many bars and places to gamble on things. One of the main attractions for gambling is podracing, a sport in which many competitors race extremely fast in hovercraft-type vehicles. Podrace tracks here include the Boonta Training Course and the Boonta Eve Classic.

During the game, restoration efforts are underway to help return the planet to what it was before being destroyed.
Thousands of years later, Telos has recovered and become a popular destination for intergalactic tourists. About twelve years before the Battle of Naboo, the former Padawan Xanatos turned the planet upside down in his pursuit for personal power. Only the intervention of Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi thwarted Xanatos' plans, and helped return the planet to its rightful government.

Thule
Main article: Thule (Star Wars)
Thule is a semi-arid planet known for its rich savannas. Continually bombarded by lightning storms, Thule was a hidden Sith stronghold. The rocky outcroppings which broke the plains were charred black from being hit by lightning. This charred rock later served as a form of sustenance for unusual, bioluminescent moss that made the rocks glow with an eerie light.
Ulic Qel-Droma fought on Thule during The Great Sith War, during which the Dark Reaper was buried on the world. Thousands of years later, Count Dooku went to Thule to revive the Dark Reaper to attempt to destroy the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars. A planetary shield enveloped the Thule, projected by the small moon Sivvi orbiting it.
The Battle of Thule is the last battle featured in the video game Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The battle was divided into four phases. At phase one, Anakin Skywalker and his strike force took out the planetary shield on the Thule Moon. At phase two, Obi-Wan Kenobi used the Low Altitude Assault Infantry Gunship to perform an aerial attack on significant strategic locations across planet Thule and destroyed the Communications Installation in order to cripple the Separatists' communications. At phase three, Mace Windu commanded the ground forces around Thule's capital city Kessia. Upon his arrival to Kessia, Cydon Prax destroyed Mace Windu's TX-150 Saber-class fighter tank. Mace Windu had to travel on foot to open the gates to the Sith Temple. At the final phase, Anakin Skywalker and his strike force went through the Sith Temple, defeated Cydon Prax and then re-defeated the Dark Reaper.
[edit]
Thyferra
Thyferra is a hot, humid planet located in the Mid Rim Polith system. Almost all of the galaxy's bacta is produced here. This is the homeworld of the Vratix race who discovered how to create the bacta from the alazhi and kavam plants. The Vratix shared the secret of bacta production to their human neighbors, the result of which is that Thyferra is almost completely controlled by two human-run corporations: Zaltin and Xucphra. These two corporations were chosen by Emperor Palpatine to supply the Empire's bacta, thus eliminating any real competition in the bacta market.
From Thyferra the planets of Korriban and List of Star Wars planets (C-D)#Cinnigar are seen but the planet of Koros Minor is not seen. The reason for this is that the planet of Koros Minor is not seen because of the sevent moons blocking it. Together the three planets form a non-equilateral triangle.
The planet was featured in the Nintendo 64 videogame Star Wars: Rogue Squadron. In the game, Grand Moff Kohl Seerdon launched an invasion of the planet to prevent bacta from reaching the Rebel Alliance, starting the Battle of Thyferra. Under command of Luke Skywalker, Rogue Squadron liberated the planet and Skywalker killed Seerdon as he fought in his modified Shuttle.
Shortly after the fall of Coruscant, the Director of Imperial Intelligence, Ysanne Isard, fled to Thyferra with two Imperator-class Star Destroyers, one Victory-class Star Destroyer, and the Super Star Destroyer Lusankya. After six months, the new Rogue Squadron attacked and systematically destroyed the Imperial fleet and ended the illegal control of the planet. After the battle, a joint coalition government, including humans and the Vratix was set up on Thyferra, and the New Republic took over control of the Lusankya. [13] [14] [15] [16]

Tibrin
Tibrin is the homeworld of the Ishi Tib.
[edit]
Tirahnn
Tirahnn is a terrestrial planet in the Tirahnn System.
[edit]
Toola
Toola is a cold world that is also home to the Whiphid. Clone Commander Keller led an Imperial task force to root out Jedi hiding on Toola in the early days of the New Order. Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight, found Jedi artifacts left behind by a Master of the Old Jedi Order in a cave there—possibly the work of Keller's division, although Skywalker observed lightsaber slashes in the Jedi's empty robes that he believed must have been the handiwork of his father, Darth Vader. [17]
[edit]
Toprawa
Toprawa was the site of a suicidal infiltration mission by the Rebel Alliance, aimed at stealing and transmitting the plans to the first Death Star. Led by Bria Tharen, a former lover of Han Solo, the Red Hand Squadron infiltrated the Imperial facility on the surface and took control long enough to transmit the stolen plans to Princess Leia's Corellian Blockade Runner, the Tantive IV. After the transmission was received, the Tantive IV made a hyperspace jump to Tatooine but was followed and captured by the Star Destroyer Devastator in the opening minutes of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Bria Tharen's team held out to complete their mission but were eventually overrun by brute force. Red Hand Squadron was utterly wiped out in the Imperial counterattack.
After the Empire secured the facility, and after the disaster at Yavin (for which Darth Vader lost his hand), the Empire cast about for a suitable way to express its anger. Yavin was devoid of human life, the Rebels elusive as ever, so they eventually decided to make an example of Toprawa, for its role in obtaining for the Rebels the fatal technical readout of the Death Star. Toprawa was leveled to the ground, its advanced (for a colony) civilization reduced to stone age level. The planet was occupied by multiple legions, and placed under a permanent blockade. Stormtroopers would parade vehicles full of food through the street, tossing the rubbish only to those Toprawans whose groveling and self-abasements amused them or seemed most sincere. Further twisting the dagger, the Imperial troops lived lives of stunning leisure and pleasure amidst the squalor, and made sure the natives knew full well what they were missing.
Before and after the Battle of Endor, the planet came under the control of the Imperial Governor Faylon Bataar. Bataar imposed strict laws limiting the freedoms of Toprawans and invited Imperial families to reside in newly built luxurious accommodations. After numerous attempts from the Rebels to seize the planet, all of them were a failure because Bataar had amassed a large garrison of many troops and vehicles, although Bataar relied on the main Imperial army and navy. Once they were defeated and Coruscant was taken, Toprawa was on its own.
Toprawa remained unconquered for many years, until Bataar was assasinated by Lord Paulus of Pedo, who stole his fortune and escaped to the solitary planet Zonama Sekot. The Toprawa garrison therefore became weak and was finally liberated by the New Republic soon after. [18]

The Unknown World is the unnamed homeworld of the Rakatans, and is featured in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. The Infinite Empire ended here with the final battles of the rebellion. The two remaining tribes of Rakatans lived underground here for thousands of years before their discovery by Revan. During the events of Knights of the Old Republic, the Star Forge was in orbit around the star that the Unknown World orbits. The Unknown World is shrouded in an energy shield that forces all ships in the area to land on the planet, and as such, the wreckage of thousands of years of space travels' wayfarers' ships are rusting here.

Utapau
Utapau appears in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith with large sinkholes covering much of the surface (which is otherwise quite grassy). Entire cities are built in cracks and crevasses in the sides of the massive sinkholes, which extend inwards in perpetual twilight.
Towards the end of the Clone Wars, General Grievous traveled to this world to re-group and relocate the Confederate Separatist Council to Mustafar and to trap Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. Port Administrator Tion Medon aids Obi-Wan and Commander Cody in tracking down the General.
Utapau consists of two primary races; the Pau'ans comprise thirty percent of the planet's population. They are the upper class of Utapaun society. They work as government officials, administrators, and bureaucrats while the Utai and the other primary race perform a secondary role as labor for their Pau'an masters.
Government in Utapau is largely autonomous. Local administrators called "Masters of Port Administration" govern the various cities of Utapau. Each administrator is supported by a committee for that city which helps and advises the administrator on local affairs. Each administrator reports to the Utapaun Committee, which is led by the Chairman of Utapau; head of state and government for the entire planet. Only the Pau'ans serve in these capacities as government officials. Many are appointed because of prestigious backgrounds. The current administrator for Pau City, Tion Medon, is a descendant of the late Timon Menon, credited with unifying Utapau in its early history. Pau'ans prefer darkness to light and raw meat to cooked, which explains the location of their cities deep within the sinkholes of Utapau.
Utapau is also the home of Boga.
In an early rough draft of the first Star Wars movie script, George Lucas originally used the name Utapau for both Tatooine, and Naboo. Utapau is also a Thai city.

Seeking a new home, the Velmorians left their Outer Rim planet in hopes of finding a new planet to rule. They attempted to invade Tatooine, but the intervention of the New Republic saved the desert planet. Later, the Velmorians returned to their homeworld, only to be conquered later by the Gyronnians.
[edit]
Velusia
Velusia is a oceanic planet in the Velus System.
[edit]
Vendaxa
Vendaxa is the homeworld of the Acklay. The planet Vendaxa has one of the densest ecosystems in the galaxy. The Acklay hunt leathery-shelled lemnia on the plains of Vendaxa, using their sharp claws to pierce the shells to gnaw out the fleshy interior. Vendaxa is home to many other nightmarish predators, and became of interest to organisations wishing to deal with the Confederacy on Geonosis, knowing how prized beasts such as the vicious acklay were in the Geonosian Arena. The sun of Vendaxa bathes the planet in a harsh light, causing most life there to evolve small, dark eyes.
[edit]
Vizcarra
Vizcarra is the planet where smuggler Memcha-Badawzi was sent to after her arrest by the Empire and Tait Ransom was scheduled to be sent to after his arrest for smuggling weapons into on Omman. The criminal wookie Syychi was born on Vizcarra. [24] [25]
[edit]
Vjun
Vjun (also Vjun, Vijun, or Vijjun) was a hideout for Count Dooku in the Clone Wars. He took an old woman's house and invited Jedi Master Yoda to come and save him from the Dark Side. Really being a trap, Dooku hoped to use the strong power of the Dark Side to finish Yoda, but failed when Jedi Master Obi-Wan and Anakin showed up.
Later, it was where Darth Vader's personal fortress, Bast Castle, resided. It has concentrated acid rain and the fortress is well guarded by many of Vader's best troops, including the legendary Dark Troopers. It also was the holding cell of Obi-Wan Kenobi's lightsaber after he died. The fortress has been infiltrated and attacked many times, once by Kyle Katarn with one of his apprentices, Jaden Korr. [26] [27] [28]
[edit]
Vortex
Vortex is a windy world inhabited by the reptavian species known as the Vors. It was once home to a large crytalline structure known as The Cathedral of the Winds. The Vors created a concert of wind music by plugging holes in the cathedral with their bodies. The cathedral itself was destroyed, and many Vors killed, when Admiral Ackbar's sabotaged B-wing crashed into it. [29] [30]

Wayland
Wayland first appeared in Timothy Zahn's Heir to the Empire novel. The planet was home to the Emperor's Mount Tantiss storehouse, which contained a cloaking device and cloning chambers that Grand Admiral Thrawn used in his war against the New Republic. Wayland was also home to the insane clone of the Jedi Master Joruus C'Baoth. The Mount Tantiss storehouse was eventually destroyed and C'Baoth killed.
Wayland is the homeworld for the Psadan and the Myneirshi. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]
[edit]
Wroona
Wroona is a small blue world in Wroona system, located on the far edge of the Inner Rim in the Rayter Sector. The planet's continents are separated by vast oceans, and their blue-sand beaches stretch for thousands of kilometers. The near-human inhabitants of Wroona, numbering over seven billion, are a blue-skinned species with a lighthearted and optimistic outlook on life. Their society emphasizes materialism and personal gain, and Wroonian merchants, smugglers, and pirates can be found throughout the galaxy pursuing their personal wealth. Their impulsive nature can be summed up by the ancient Wroonian folktale of Master Fate, a being who capriciously blows the winds wherever he pleases. Wroona is run by the Wroonian Guilds, groups that represent all the various trade organizations and businesses, and the planet's primary starport is located on the coast of its largest ocean. Animal life on the world includes Wroonian flycatchers, which hang from coastal cave ceilings by their tongues and swing down to catch their avian prey. The region of space known as Keller's Void acts as a shortcut between the Wroona and Calus systems.
Thousands of years ago, Wroona's civilization was centered around the seafaring trade. The inherent dangers of the sea helped contribute to Wroonians' fearless nature, and the unstable governments of the many coastal kingdoms also contributed to their distrust of authority. Wroona has long been a member of the Old Republic. Many years ago, a band of armored raiders utterly destroyed Wroona's spaceport and killed many, until stopped by the Jedi Knight Soonis. Later, during the rise of the Empire, the Imperials decided to take advantage of Wroona's tactical location. The Empire built a garrison on the surface, appointed an Imperial governor to run the trade guilds, and erected the Wroonian Stardock, a massive resupply and repair facility in close orbit, used only by capital ships too large to land on the planet. After the Battle of Endor, the Wroonians successfully revolted, deposing the Imperials in favor of the leadership of the Wroonian Guilds. Wroona remained independent from the New Republic, becoming a haven for smugglers and mercenaries
Senator Chi Eekway and Baron Papanoida, both seen briefly in Revenge of the Sith, are Wroonian.
[edit]
Xa Fel
Xa Fel is the capital world of Kanchen sector. It was a centerpiece of action during the Thrawn campaigns five years after the Battle of Endor. It was owned by the Kuat Drive Yards company for a very long time, and this badly polluted the entire planet, such that it is a virtual wasteland now. Following the Thrawn campaigns, a few raids were made on the planet by the Invids pirate group, led by Leonia Tavira and her Jensaarai Force-sensitive allies.
[edit]
Xagobah

Yag'Dhul
Yag'Dhul was the site of a Rogue Squadron orbiting base for training before the Battle of Thyferra. It was taken by the Yuuzhan Vong during their invasion. It is the home planet of the skeletal Givin species, who are capable of surviving in a vacuum—this is because the planet is at the mercy of atmospheric tides which leave part of the planet exposed to vaccuum.
[edit]
Yaga Minor
Yaga Minor was the home of a major Empire shipyard.
[edit]
Yavin
Yavin, seen in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, is an orange gas giant. Its core is composed of metallic substances and pieces of carbon and metallic hydrogen that form corusca gems. Although mining these gems is a promising venture, Yavin is mostly known for its moon of Yavin 4, where the Rebel Alliance's base was in Star Wars: A New Hope. Its high pressure atmosphere and core was also used to hide the Sun Crusher for a time, a powerful weapon invented by Qwi Xux.
In the Expanded Universe, Yavin has four other habitable moons. Yavin 2 was colonised by the Gran in 100 ABY. Yavin 8, a moon of large lakes and jungles, is populated by humans and melodies. Yavin 10 is a jail moon. Yavin 13 is a hot desert moon.
[edit]
Yinchorr

[edit]
Ziost
Ziost is an ancient world made up entirely of an ancient dark forest. Not only was it the focal point of the Dark Side but it is also rumored to be the planet where Lord Sidious allegedly first appeared. It was the heart of the ancient Sith empire, after the failures of Naga Sadow during The Great Hyperspace War. Its destination has been forgotten in recent times, due to the secrecy of the newer Sith Lords. Many ancient and evil secrets remain in this place of great dark power.
[edit]
Zeltros
Zeltros is a large world which is the homeworld of the Zeltron.
[edit]
Zolan
Zolan is the homeworld of the Zolans.
[edit]
Zonama Sekot
Zonama Sekot is a sentient planet capable of travelling through space. It is a peaceful world known for its fast and organic starships. The living world was also a seed of the original homeworld of the extragalactic Yuuzhan Vong, which was destroyed in a devastating civil war. Zonama Sekot plays an important role in the New Jedi Order novels, for it harbors the long-forgotten secrets of the Yuuzhan Vong.
The planet first appeared in the novel Rogue Planet during the time of the Old Republic. Obi-Wan Kenobi and his apprentice Anakin Skywalker travelled to Zonama Sekot to purchase a starship and to find fellow Jedi Vergere. The Jedi eventually learned that Zonama Sekot had been attacked by the Yuuzhan Vong after its inhabitants refused to give them one of their organic ships. The attack was stopped when Jedi Knight Vergere offered herself to the Yuuzhan Vong in order that the living world not be harmed. Zonama Sekot was later attacked by Tarkin, a Republic commander at the time. In response, the living world unveiled its massive hyperspace system and fled into the Unknown Regions.
Years later, after the Yuuzhan Vong captured the capital world Coruscant, Luke Skywalker, Mara Jade and Jacen Solo, along with several Jedi and droids, travelled into the Unknown Regions to find Zonama Sekot. In The Final Prophecy, the Executor Nom Anor, disguised as Yu'shaa, the leader of the underground Jeedai heretics, attempts to destroy the living world. Later, in The Unifying Force, Zonama Sekot travels to Yuuzhan Vong-held Coruscant (renamed Yuuzhan'tar) where it gathers the Yuuzhan Vong willing to follow it and then journeys into the Unknown Regions.
