Planet Database

Section:A

Abregado - Abregado, site of the Abregado-rae Spaceport, is controlled by an oppressive government which has kept the peace and improved the local spaceport facilities at the expense of individual freedoms. Abregado's government has cut off all supply lines to a clan of rebellious hill people, which has created illegal supply opportunities for ambitious smugglers. Han Solo and Lando Calrissian met up with a contact from Talon Karrde's smuggling organization in Abregado-rae's LoBue cantina, and Wedge Antilles later helped get one of Karrde's ships out of impoundment from the planet. The natives of Abregado are referred to as Gados. [HTTE, DFR]

Abrion sector - The Abrion sector contains the planet Ukio, which is one of the top five producers of foodstuffs in the New Republic. When Ukio was captured by Grand Admiral Thrawn it had serious repercussions on the sector. [TLC]

Abyss - One star in the binary pair Byss and Abyss, which are both orbited by the desert planet Byss in an unusual, figure-eight pattern. [GG4]

Adega system - The Adega system, one of the six remaining Auril systems, contains two suns which the planet Ossus orbits in a figure-eight trajectory. The system is the main source of Ilum crystals (sometimes called Adegan crystals) which were used in the earliest Jedi lightsabers. Bodo Baas, gatekeeper of a Jedi Holocron, was part of a group of Jedi that lived six hundred years ago in the Adega system. Indigenous life in the system includes the Adegan eel. [DE, DLOS, DE2]

Af'El - A large, high-gravity, seldom-visited world orbiting the ultraviolet supergiant Ka'Dedus. Af'El has no ozone layer and 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. Af'El is the homeworld of the Defel, or "wraiths," whose bodies absorb visible light, giving them the appearance of shadows. The Defel live in underground cities to escape Af'El's violent storms. A main export of the planet is the metal meleenium (used in durasteel), which is only known to exist on Af'El. [GG4]

Agrilat - Agrilat contains a crystal swamp where an illegal and dangerous swoop race between Dengar and Han Solo was once held. Dengar was left with severe injuries and a burning hatred for Solo. [MTS]

Aguarl 3 - An ocean-covered world that was home to a Rebel base. The underwater base was attacked by a wing of TIE bombers, after the Empire learned its location from a Quarren spy. [ROC]

Akrit'tar - One of Han Solo's former smuggling associates, Tregga, was imprisoned on Akrit'tar and sentenced to life at hard labor after being caught with a smuggled cargo of chak-root. [HSR]

Alderaan - Alderaan, in the system of the same name, was a beautiful, peaceful, moonless planet. It had a surface covered with sweeping plains of tall grasses, arallutes, and T'iil, and was dotted with organic-looking tower cities. Out of their respect for life, the Alderaanians refused to build their cities in the grasses of the fields. Instead, industries and settlements were built into the sides of deep cracks in the surface, on top of sandstone hills, under the polar ice, or on stilts in the planet's shallow seas. Soaring kite creatures acted as airborne taxis to transport people from one city to the next. The Alderaanians culled the wildlife herds on the continent of Thonn to remove those animals too sick to survive the winter. The oro woods, which covered a dozen small islands, were filled with red deer, white cairoka birds, and colorful lichens covering the tree bark. Four thousand years ago, the Jedi knights Ulic and Cay Qel-Droma were born on Alderaan into a great warrior family. Following the chaos of the Clone Wars, however, the Alderaanians vowed to never again have weapons or standing armies on their world. The planet became the home of galactic culture and civilization, and the people were known for their peaceful natures and their pursuit of knowledge and art. The Alderaanian government became a democracy, yet retained a Royal House of Alderaan for its symbolic value. In 11/70, Pre- Empire date, the Jedi Jorus C'baoth helped to resolve the Alderaan ascendancy contention, ruling in favor of Bail Organa's family line. The Organa royal family lived in a city located in the center of a lake, and included Senator Leia Organa, her adoptive father Senator Bail Organa (Viceroy and First Chairman of the Alderaan system), and her adoptive mother (Minister of Education). Other members of House Organa included Leia's aunts Celly, Tia, and Rouge, and her cousin Nial. Daughters of Alderaanian nobility were schooled at the Alderaan Select Academy for Young Ladies, then typically presented to the Emperor's Court on Coruscant to win a suitable marriage partner. Alderaan is now famous as the planet utterly destroyed by the Death Star as an example of Imperial power. Another planet in the system is Delaya. [SW, SWR, ROJN, JS, COPL, MTS, DLOS, COTJ, YJK]

Aldereen? - The possible homeworld of the Aldereenians, an obscure insect race. The Aldereenians have a consulate on Coruscant located around two hundred kilometers from the Alderaanian consulate. [COPL]

Algarian - One of the false charges filed against Cray Mingla by the "Eye of Palpatine"'s central computer concerned evidence seized from Rebel spies on Algarian. [COTJ]

Alk'lellish III - The homeworld of the Ketrann, a dangerous carnivore. Governor Wilek Nereus of Bakura owned a set of its four white fangs. [TAB]

Allyuen - Based on instructions from Darth Vader, a group of Imperial probe droids were recalibrated to search for Rebels on Allyuen, Tokmia, and Hoth. [ESBR]

Alpheridies - The homeworld of the Miraluku, who are born without eyes yet can see through the use of the Force. Many of the Miraluku become Jedi. Shoaneb Culu, a Jedi knight who lived four thousand years ago, was a native of Alpheridies. [FNU, DLOS]

Altarrn - The homeworld of a rare animal described as "spidery night gliders." These animals are considered premium pets and are sold at Sabodor's pet shop on Etti IV. [HSSE]

Altor 14 - Altor 14, a dry, hot world of rock and sand, orbits the Roti-Ow binary star system and was only recently discovered by a mineral company. Because of its long rotational period (94 hours), all standing water evaporates on the planet's surface during the day. Taproot trees and tarpaulin plants are found on the surface, each with its own unique way of obtaining water. The Avogwi (Altorian Birds) and Nuiwit (Altorian Lizards) are native to this planet, though it is the peaceful Nuiwit who possess the social and technical skills to build advanced societies and participate in galactic trade. The carnivorous, aggressive Avogwi may eventually be forced from the planet's surface by the ever-expanding communities of the Nuiwit. Some Avogwi were drug- and mind-controlled by Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader to serve as enclosure guards. [GG4, COTJ]

Alzoc III - Alzoc III, located in the Alzoc system in the Outer Rim, is the home planet of the alien species known as the Talz, and is the source of Alzoc pearl. The moonless planet is covered with desolate, frozen plains and its powerful sunlight glares harshly off the reflective snow. The Empire garrisoned Alzoc III in a secret operation and forced the Talz to work as slaves in underground mines. The planet was never entered into the galactic registry, and the New Republic only learned of its existence through examining restricted corporate files. Imperial Commander Pter Thanas was assigned to the rim world of Bakura after refusing to destroy a village of Talz miners on Alzoc III. The Imperial battlemoon "Eye of Palpatine" stopped at the frozen planet to pick up a contingent of stormtroopers, but brought in a group of Talz instead. [TAB, GG4, COTJ]

Ambria - The ringed, desert planet Ambria is located in the heart of the Stenness node. Animal life on Ambria includes herds of staga, small lizards called neeks, and strange, evil creatures from Lake Natth, a place strong with the Dark Side of the Force. Thon, a Jedi master who lived four thousand years ago, made his home on Ambria and instructed several Jedi including Nomi Sunrider and the Vultan Oss Wilum. [DE, TOTJ, DLOS]

Ammuud - A cold planet with a short rotation located in the Corporate Sector, Ammuud is ruled by seven major clans operating under Corporate Sector Authority subcontract. The seven clans (including the Reesbon and the Glayyd) are ruled by patriarchs called "Mors" and governed by a set of formal rules known as the Code, which prevents the clans from engaging in the type of savage warfare found on Ammuud one hundred years ago. Ammuud's main spaceport is a well-defended structure built adjacent to a snow-capped mountain range. People of all types inhabit the surrounding city, which is composed of wood and stone buildings, slums, and open gutters. Animal life on Ammuud includes herds of grazers, flying pterosaurs, and crustaceans in the mountains' icy lakes. Han Solo visited the mountain stronghold of the Mor Glayyd and his sister Ido to collect money due him, and encountered the infamous gunman Gallandro. [HSR]

Amorris - Amorris, in the system of the same name, was the planet to which Lando Calrissian sent ship thief Niles Ferrier after persuading him not to steal any ships from Sluis Van. Calrissian told Ferrier that the Cavrilhu pirate gang was using Amorris as a base. [DFR]

Anchoron - Corellian hero Garm Bel Iblis was believed killed on Anchoron. He survived but was forced to go underground, severing all ties with his former life and working in secret to bring down the Empire. The smuggler Talon Karrde posted men on Anchoron in an unsuccessful search for Grand Admiral Thrawn's clone traffic, and Leia Organa Solo planted a false report stating that a Star Destroyer had been spotted near Anchoron in her attempts to locate an Imperial spy. [DFR, TLC]

Ando - A watery, terrestrial planet with very few solid land masses, Ando is the homeworld of the belligerent, walrus-faced Aqualish. The prestigious Aquala ("finned" Aqualish) prefer to live on floating raft cities and large sailing ships, while the low-status Quara ("fingered" Aqualish) inhabit the larger islands of Ando. Ando has a sister planet in the same system, but its blasted, uninhabitable surface implies it was the site of an Aqualish war soon after the species discovered space travel. The technological society of the Aqualish is helping to create viable galactic exports, primarily foodstuffs from Ando's seas. The planet has been closely watched by the Empire for any sign of insurrection. The Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth was a member of the Ando Demilitarization Observation Group from 8/82-7/81, Pre- Empire date. Following his departure from Tatooine, the infamous criminal Dr. Evazan was sheltered on Ando in a well-guarded castle on a rocky isle. Ando was also targeted by the Bellicose in a multi-pronged attack by Grand Admiral Thrawn intended to draw New Republic forces away from Ukio. [DFR, TLC, GG4, TFTC]

Andron system - The Andron system contains the planet Aralia, the home planet of the semi-intelligent aliens called Ranats. [GG4]

Annaj - The site at which the Imperial fleet regrouped following their defeat at Endor. [TAB]

Anoat system - The Anoat system contains the planets Anoat, Gentes (the homeworld of the pig-like Ugnaughts), and the colony world of Deyer. After their escape from the Battle of Hoth, Han Solo and Princess Leia found themselves in the Anoat system and made the decision to visit Bespin's Cloud City. [ESB, MTS, DA]

Anoth - A multiple planet orbiting a small white sun, Anoth consists of three parts and will likely break itself into dust in a few hundred years. Anoth is unrecorded on any chart and was chosen by Luke Skywalker and Admiral Ackbar as the primary hiding place for Leia Organa Solo's Jedi children, although Jacen and Jaina Solo stayed on New Alderaan during the Emperor's reappearance. The two largest components of Anoth are close enough to scrape together, causing powerful static discharges between them and bathing the third fragment in sensor-masking electrical storms. The third piece orbits a safe distance from the other two and holds a breathable atmosphere in its valleys in spite of its relatively low gravity. The stronghold where Winter cared for the Jedi children until they reached the age of two was located on the third fragment, at the opening to a network of caves within Anoth's rocky spires and peaks. An Imperial attack with MT-AT walkers led by Ambassador Furgan was launched against the Anoth stronghold in an unsuccessful attempt to kidnap Anakin Solo. [JS, DA, COTF]

Antar 4 - Located in the Prindaar system, Antar 4 is the fourth of six moons orbiting the gas giant Antar and home to the alien species known as the Gotal. Antar 4 has an unusual rotational pattern, which makes seasonal climate changes very pronounced. In addition, the moon's orbital pattern around the gas giant creates constantly-changing day/night cycles. Due to this, animal species on Antar 4 have developed organs and senses to help compensate for any absence of light, such as the Gotals' energy-sensing head cones. These cones aid the Gotal in sensing the moods of others, and in hunting the native herds of quivry. Large head cones are considered an attractive feature by other Gotal, and those with small cones sometimes use artificial substitutes to help improve their appearances. Antar 4 has no form of government, but nevertheless trades and interacts effectively with the rest of galactic society. [GG4, TFTC]

Antipose IX - A pilot droid that Lando Calrissian rented to take him from the Oseon to Rafa IV once held a job on the pleasure yacht Arleen, which departed from Antipose IX. [LCMH]

Antipose XII - While on a mission in the Oseon, Lando Calrissian used the password "dubesor"-- a native insult on Antipose XII. [LCFW]

Arabanth - A planet in the Hapes cluster. Arabanth sent an old woman who offered a "thought puzzle" on accepting life and death as part of a series of gifts from Hapes to the New Republic. [COPL]

Aralia - Aralia, a small, tropical world in the Andron system, is home to both the planetary amusement park Project Aralia and the troublesome, semi-intelligent Ranats. The Ranats (who call themselves Con Queecon or "the conquerors") evolved on the planet Rydar II, but came to Aralia when the spice-smuggling ship on which they had stowed away crashed in Aralia's jungles. Ranats live in tribes numbering around one hundred individuals, and inhabit maze-like underground warrens. The Ranat population has expanded greatly since the crash, and they now inhabit most areas of Aralia including its grassy steppes and mountains. The fierce appetites of the Ranats have led to a decline in most of Aralia's fauna including the pig-like roba. After Project Aralia's construction was interfered with by the Ranats, the builders attempted to organize an extermination of the species. This led to an Imperial ruling that Ranats can be killed in self-defense, and they may not be armed under any circumstances. Some Ranats were drug- and mind-controlled by Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader to serve as enclosure guards. [GG4, COTJ]

Ardos - The white dwarf star orbited by Varl, the original homeworld of the Hutts. According to Hutt legend, Ardos was once a double star with Evona until Evona was drawn into a black hole. [GG4]

Arkania - Arkania is a world covered with tundra and diamond mines, where miners extract melon-sized gems from the planet's crust. Four thousand years ago, the Jedi master Arca established a Jedi training outpost in the wilderness of Arkania. Animal life on the planet includes the Arkanian dragon and jellyfish. [TOTJ, FNU, DLOS]

Athega system - The Athega system contains the planet Nkllon, where Lando Calrissian had a mining operation. Due to the heat of its sun, ships must be escorted by a shieldship from the outer parts of the Athega system in order to approach the inner planets. [HTTE]

Atravis sector - The Atravis sector contains the Atravis systems, which were devastated by Imperial attacks. Of the massacres that occurred in the sector, Grand Moff Tarkin said, "They have only themselves to blame." Grand Admiral Harrsk's troops began concentrating in the Atravis sector eight years after the Battle of Endor. [COTJ]

Atrivis sector - Located in the Outer Rim, the Atrivis sector contains the planet Generis. New Republic pilot Pash Cracken was stationed in the Atrivis sector and helped defend (unsuccessfully) the Outer Rim comm center against an Imperial attack. [TLC]

Auril systems - A distant group of six star systems (including the Adega system) which also encompasses the Cron Drift. Originally there were nine Auril systems, though three systems were destroyed (thus forming the Drift) during the Great Sith War. The space city Nespis VIII is located at the node of the Auril systems. [DE2]

Averam - Averam was the location of a local Rebel Alliance cell, where Leia Organa's aide Winter worked for a few weeks under the code name "Targeter." Imperial Intelligence cracked the cell soon afterwards. The natives of Averam are called Averists. [TLC]

Azbrian - Azbrian is the homeworld of Condren Foreck, daughter of a wealthy farmer and a famous athlete on her world. She lives on a farm containing eight-legged herd animals. Foreck was one of Lando Calrissian's marriage candidates, until he discovered she had already married someone else. [AAC]
