Elrood - The site of a commercial colony, presumably some distance from the Outer Rim, that contains prefabricated room units from the factories of Sullust. [COTJ]

Empress Teta system - (see Teta system)

Endor - Located in the Moddell sector, the forest moon of Endor (also called the Sanctuary Moon) is a temperate, densely forested world. The moon's low axial tilt and the regular orbit of its gas giant primary helps ensure a comfortable climate suitable for its many native lifeforms, including the Endorian pony, the Endoran vethiraptor, and the primitive Ewoks. The Ewoks make their communal dwellings high in the trees, which are considered the spiritual guardians of the Ewoks and can reach heights of 300 meters. Music plays an important role in Ewok culture, and each tribe has a shaman who interprets mystical signs. A natural enemy of the Ewoks are the large humanoid creatures called Gorax, who search the trees for Ewok dwellings low enough to grab. Other predators on the forest moon are numerous but primarily nocturnal. Endor was chosen as the construction site for the second Death Star, and an Imperial base was established on the surface to generate a protective shield for the orbiting battle station. The superweapon and much of the Imperial fleet were subsequently destroyed in what is now known as the Battle of Endor. A cloud of Darkside energy (a residual effect of the Emperor's first death) is now located in Endor's orbit at the site of this destruction. Throm Loro, a leader of the resistance on Cilpar, helped liberate an Imperial base on Endor and saved the life of a Wookiee prisoner. [ROTJ, ROJN, DFR, JS, DA, SWS, COTJ, XWRS]

Engira - An Imperial replenishment convoy was ambushed outside Engira, resulting in the loss of three freighters and their cargoes of food and ammunition worth over 18 million credits. [SWS]

Eol Sha - Eol Sha, a volcanic world, is circled by a large double moon which is in decaying orbit and will likely collide with the planet in another hundred years. The surface of the planet is covered with scalding geysers and bubbling lava fissures, which were known to hold a dangerous lava fireworm. A mining operation was established on Eol Sha 100 years ago to extract valuable gasses from the nearby Cauldron Nebula, but when the operation failed the colonists were forgotten. The colonists lived on the planet for generations, surviving on crustacean bugdillos and edible lichens, until relocated to Dantooine by the New Republic. Gantoris, one of Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy students, was from Eol Sha. The planet was possibly destroyed when all the suns in the adjacent Cauldron Nebula went nova. [JS]

Er'Dox Kaan - A red giant star orbited by Laboi II, home of the Laboi. [GG4]

Eriadu - A planet possibly in the Senex sector. When the head of House Elegin departed to attend a meeting with Roganda Ismaren on Belsavis, he left his family on Eriadu. One of Eriadu's exports is shellwork jewelry. [COTJ]

Etti IV - A civilized planet in the Corporate Sector, Etti IV is a trade world marked by moss-covered plains, shallow saline seas and a favorable location near many hyperspace routes. Etti IV is very wealthy, inhabited by both prosperous Authority executives and a thriving criminal underbelly. The planet has many diversions for its moneyed citizens, including an Authority Currency Exchange, Sabodor's pet shop, and the Free-Flight Dance Dome. [HSSE, D]

Evona - The possibly mythical star Evona was once a twin star with Ardos, according to Hutt legend. It was then drawn into a black hole, causing the devastation of the orbiting planet Varl. [GG4]
