Ikon - A red dwarf star orbited by an asteroid belt. After the Battle of Yavin, Princess Leia Organa traveled to the asteroid belt to help Rebel sympathizers install a turbolaser. [ROC]

Indobok - An ash-covered moon orbiting the planet Kalarba in the remote Kalarba system. Indobok's canyons and mountains are frequently hit with powerful ash storms. The planet is home to the alien species called the B'rknaa-- creatures of ash and stone who are animated through the life force of Indobok's energy crystals. The B'rknaa share a group mind, and can join their bodies together to create larger B'rknaa. In fact, the entire Indobok moon is composed of a single adult B'rknaa. [D]

Intuci - Years ago, the planet Intuci was raided by the armies of the war criminal Sonopo Bomoor. Bomoor's forces sacked the city of Bonaka Nueno, and arranged a massacre of its citizens in Bonaka Square. Among the victims was the family of Kosh Kurp, who later became the Empire's leading specialist on offensive weaponry. Kurp had his revenge on Bomoor during an attempted business deal with Jabba the Hutt. [JTH]

Ison Corridor - The Ison Corridor is located in a backwater section of the galaxy. Mara Jade once worked as a hyperdrive mechanic in the Corridor. [DFR]

Ithor - Ithor is a bright green and blue planet with many moons in the Ottega system (sometimes referred to as the Ithorian system) located in the Lesser Plooriod Cluster. The fourth planet in the system and home to the nature-loving Ithorians, Ithor is a beautiful world of unspoiled rainforests, rivers, and waterfalls. Three continents have been developed on the humid planet, though they still appear to be overgrown jungles to most visitors. Two large land masses and many islands are maintained in their original, unexplored state. The Ithorians, commonly called "hammerheads" or "Meerian hammerheads," consider their jungle sacred and only set foot in it during emergencies. Instead, they have constructed vast floating cities (including the "Tree of Tarintha," the "Cloud-Mother," and the Grand Herd Ship "Tafanda Bay") which float above the Bafforr treetops in no particular pattern. Ithorian starships, essentially herd cities with hyperdrives, travel the spacelanes selling unusual and rare merchandise. Brathflen Corporation, which operates on Belsavis, is a major Ithorian trading company. At times the Mother Jungle has been known to "call" certain Ithorians to live on the surface as ecological priests, who then never return to their herd cities. All Ithorians are bound by the Ithorian Law of Life, which states that for every plant harvested, two must be planted in its place. A large grove of semi-intelligent Bafforr trees, located in the Cathor Hills, was half-destroyed by the Empire. This grove acts as an intelligent hive mind and is worshiped by the Ithorian people. In addition to the Bafforr, Ithor's flora includes blueleaf, tremmin, fiddleheaded bull-ferns, donar flowers, and indyup trees; animal life includes the manollium bird and the arrak snake. One of the most beautiful attractions on the planet is the Falls of Dessiar. Every five years Ithorians gather at their planet for "The Meet," where the most important decisions regarding Ithorian society are made. During this Time of Meeting the herd cities link up through an intricate and graceful network of bridges and antigrav platforms. Years ago, the Imperial captain Alima, commanding the Star Destroyer Conquest, forced the Ithorian Momaw Nadon to reveal secret agricultural and cloning information. Nadon, High Priest of the "Tafanda Bay," gave up the information to save the rainforests and his herd city from destruction. For this transgression Nadon was exiled from Ithor, and lived on Tatooine for many years until exacting his revenge on Alima. Ithor's herd cities are a common destination for tourists, especially young couples. Wedge Antilles and Imperial scientist Qwi Xux once visited Ithor as a safe haven, though they were attacked by Kyp Durron who partially erased Xux's mind. [SWS, MTS, SWR, DA, COTJ, TFTC]

Ithull - Ithull was the homeworld of both the incredibly huge Colossus Wasps and the now-extinct Ithullan race. Four thousand years ago in the Stenness node, the tough exoskeletons of the Colossus Wasps were hollowed out, fitted with hyperdrive engines and other necessary hardware, and used as cargo ships. Several hundred years ago, the warlike Ithulls were attacked by the even more fierce Mandalore. The Mandalorians succeeded in completely exterminating the entire Ithull race. The bounty hunter Dyyz Nataz was known to wear a suit of Ithullan battle armor. [TOTJ, TFTC]
