Laboi II - A small planet orbiting the red giant Er'Dox Kaan, Laboi II has an extremely slow, retrograde rotation which means that one side of the planet faces the sun for almost 2,020 hours at a time. The side facing the sun becomes so hot it melts rock and the night side is cooled to sub-zero temperatures, though these effects are lessened somewhat by temperature-distributing wind storms. There is no plant life on Laboi II, but there are many animal species including the highly intelligent aliens known as the Laboi. The carnivorous, aggressive Laboi, who can survive the extreme temperature differences of their planet, primarily hunt the bantha-sized ovolyan. Laboi, who appear to be fur- covered snakes, make up for their lack of manipulative appendages with a limited telekinetic ability that may be linked to the Force. Laboi II's main export is Laboian mineral crystals, which are popular in the Core Worlds. [GG4]

Lafra - Home planet of the humanoid aliens called Lafrarians. The grey-skinned Lafrarians have vestigial soaring membranes and a keen sense of flying skills and spatial relationships. One of Doc's "outlaw-techs" was a Lafrarian. While on a mission to Belsavis, Han Solo watched the final puttie game of the series between Lafra and Gathus. [HSSE, COTJ]

Lar - An orange star orbited by Mima II, homeworld of the Bilars. [GG4]

Laramus - An Imperial convoy was leaving Laramus when it was ambushed by a Rebel cruiser, several shuttles, and X-Wing fighters. None of the Imperial transports were able to escape the Laramus system, and the Rebels captured all 14 without any losses. [SWS]

Lekua system - Osuno Whett is Associate Professor of Comparative Sapient Studies in the Lekua system. He goes by the title of "ottdefa," given in the system to distinguished scientific or academic teachers. [LCMH, LCSC]

Lelmra - A temporary base for Senator Garm Bel Iblis' private army. While on Lelmra, a violent thunderstorm triggered the "flip-flop" on several buildings made of memory plastic, which folded them up with nearly fifty people still inside. The smuggler Mazzic had a backup base for his organization on Lelmra. [DFR, TLC]

Leria Kerlsil - Leria Kerlsil is a backwater world, but is pleasant, clean, and quiet. Its capital city's streets are lined with blue and purple trees, and the city is adjacent to a well- maintained spaceport. The planet is the only source of "life- witches"-- those who can sustain another's failing life for years but eventually withdraw support, causing that person to die. Life-witches appear rarely and are born seemingly at random. Karia Ver Seryan, a wealthy woman who lives in a large, well- defended mansion, was one of Lando Calrissian's marriage candidates until he discovered she was a life-witch. [AAC]

Lesser Plooriod Cluster - The Lesser Plooriod Cluster contains the Ottega system, site of the planet Ithor. After leaving the Corporate Sector, Han Solo and Chewbacca ran an unsuccessful Military-Script exchange scam in the Cluster. [HSLL, SWS]

Linuri - The site of a former confrontation between Senator Garm Bel Iblis' private army and the forces of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Apparently, Thrawn's forces did some damage to Bel Iblis' men or scared them out of the system. [DFR]

Lorrd - During a period of time known as the Kanz Disorders, the human inhabitants of Lorrd were enslaved and forbidden to communicate verbally. As a consequence, the Lorrdians developed an advanced system of kinetic communication through gestures and facial expressions. Although they were freed from servitude by the Old Republic and the Jedi, Lorrdians are still among the galaxy's best mimics. Hart-and-Parn Gorra-Fiolla, Assistant Auditor-General of the Corporate Sector, was a Lorrdian. [HSR]

Lur - An icy planet with slightly higher than standard gravity, Lur is located just outside the borders of the Corporate Sector. The upper layers of Lur's atmosphere are heavily ionized, which creates intense electrical storms. This, when combined with Lur's gale-force winds and freezing temperatures, makes starship landings often hazardous. The fur-covered, bipedal inhabitants of Lur have an innate expertise in genetic manipulation but are unwilling to leave their planet. This frequently makes them the targets of slavers who can sell them for four to six thousand apiece on the Invisible Market. Han Solo and Chewbacca were unwillingly involved in a Lurrian slavery operation during their early adventuring. [HSR]

Lwhekk - The homeworld of the Ssi-ruuk, in a distant star cluster. This planet is the center of the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium. [TAB]
