Obroa-skai - Located in the system of the same name, Obroa-skai sits at a strategic location within the borderland regions. During the rise of Grand Admiral Thrawn, the New Republic was attempting to convince Obroa-skai to join their side. Thrawn's forces made a partial dump of the data in the Obroans' central library system which allowed them to learn the location of Wayland. When Mara Jade visited Wayland during her tenure as the Emperor's Hand, the last stop before reaching their destination was Obroa-skai. [HTTE, TLC]
Oetrago - Han Solo spent some time on Oetrago, and was unimpressed with the appearance of its plant life. He was reminded of this while seeing the ugly, mutated flowers of Crseih Station. [TCS]
Olabria? - The Olabrian Trichoid (possibly originating on the planet of Olabria) was used by Governor Nereus of Bakura in an attempt to kill Luke Skywalker. Its larvae hatch in a host's stomach and burrow towards the heart, feeding on blood. [TAB]
Omwat - An orange and green world of savannas and mountains, Omwat was the homeworld of the alien Maw scientist Qwi Xux. Tarkin, at that time a Moff commanding a Victory-class Star Destroyer, had determined that Omwati children could be capable of astonishing mental feats. He constructed an orbital education sphere to instruct the brightest Omwati prospects, using the threat of death to their honeycomb settlements on Omwat's surface if they failed. Nasdra Magrody developed the accelerated learning process, and one of the instructors was Ohran Keldor (a designer of both the Death Star and the "Eye of Palpatine"). Qwi Xux was the only candidate to survive the intense pressures of this force-fed education. [JS, COTJ]
Onderon - Onderon, in the three-planet system of the same name, circles a yellow sun and has four moons with widely-varying orbits. The closest moon, Dxun, is home to numerous bloodthirsty creatures who were able to migrate to the surface of Onderon ages ago, due to a brief period in which the two worlds' atmospheres intersected. The human inhabitants of Onderon evolved defenses against the beasts, culminating in the enormous walled city of Iziz. 4,400 years ago the Dark Jedi Freedon Nadd brought the power of the Sith to Onderon, and those who opposed it were cast out into the wilderness where they tamed the beasts of Dxun. Hundreds of these "beast riders" created their own kingdoms in the wild, and fought continually to overtake Iziz. About 4402 years ago Onderon was first contacted by the Old Republic, and a delegation of Jedi was sent to make peace between the beast riders and Queen Amanda of Iziz two years after that. Following the death of Queen Amanda her daughter Galia took the throne. A subsequent uprising by the followers of Freedon Nadd was put down by the Jedi. Satal Keto and his cousin Aleema, members of Tetan royalty, traveled to Onderon to learn the secrets of Sith magic, which led to their formation of the Krath and the political takeover of the Tetan system. Following the Naddist uprising, a permanent Jedi outpost was built on Onderon from the remains of Nadd's ancient starship. Native life on the planet includes the deadly dragon-bird. [TOTJ, FNU, DLOS]
Oor VII - Inspector Keek, Chief of the Internal Security Police on Brigia, had a medal (presumably obtained secondhand) designating him spelling champion of the planet Oor VII. [HSLL]
Ord Mantell - Han Solo, in the time between the Battles of Yavin and Hoth, encountered his smuggler friend Drub McKumb on Ord Mantell. McKumb warned Solo of the bounty on his head, and Solo later ran into Boba Fett and other bounty hunters but managed to escape. Later, Grand Admiral Thrawn staged an assault on Ord Mantell to create fear in the surrounding systems and ease New Republic pressure on his shipyard supply lines. [ESB, TLC, MTS, COTJ]
Ord Pardron - Ord Pardron, possibly in the Dufilvan sector, is the site of a major New Republic base and was used in a multi-pronged attack by Grand Admiral Thrawn. By attacking multiple targets Thrawn forced Ord Pardron to parcel out its ships to help, requiring all remaining ships to stay at Ord Pardron to fight the Death's Head and leaving the planet Ukio undefended. Ukio was captured, and the Ord Pardron base was severely damaged. Ord Pardron is also the homeworld of Dera Jynsol, one of Lando Calrissian's candidates for marriage. [TLC, AAC]
Ord Trasi - The location of a major group of Imperial shipyards, in addition to the facilities at Yaga Minor and Bilbringi. All three shipyards were extremely busy during Grand Admiral Thrawn's offensive against the New Republic. Information supplied to the New Republic from a bounty hunter on Ord Trasi stated that three Imperial Star Destroyers were within a month of completion at the shipyards. [TLC]
Orelon - A large, bright star located in the Hapes cluster of sixty-three stars. [COPL]
Orooturoo - Princess Nampi, an immense worm-like alien who attempted to steal Jabba's cargo, was a native of Orooturoo. [JTH]
Orron III - Orron III is a fertile agricultural planet at a strategic location within the Corporate Sector. The green and blue world has almost no axial tilt, resulting in a year-round growing season. The Corporate Sector Authority tends the endless fields with robot agricultural machines, and has constructed a city-sized Authority Data Center on the planet. The only space traffic allowed on the world are Authority ships and massive agricultural drone barges, and the region is defended by the "Shannador's Revenge"-- a two kilometer-long Invincible Class dreadnaught. The spaceport is extremely large, built to accommodate the arriving and departing robo-barges. Han Solo and others tried to infiltrate the Authority Data Center on Orron III to learn the location of several missing persons. [HSSE]
Orto - A small, cold planet circling its red dwarf sun in an elliptical orbit, Orto is home to the trunked alien species known as Ortolans. Orto has a thin atmosphere and a short growing season, with arable lands concentrated near the equator. Beneath the northern polar ice cap geologists have discovered an enormous crater, leading to a theory that Orto was once struck by a planetary body which resulted in its somewhat inhospitable climate and the extinction of many of its lifeforms. The music- and food-loving Ortolans do not have a highly industrialized society, although they have been quite efficient in food production processes. Orto has been taken over by the Empire, and the Ortolans have been forced to mine heavy metals and radioactive fuels for Orto's new Imperial processing centers. One of the band members in Jabba the Hutt's palace was an Ortolan. [GG4, ROTJ]
Orus sector - Grand Admiral Thrawn gave the false impression his clone traffic was running through the Orus sector, leading Talon Karrde to visit Chazwa in an attempt to find the traffic's origin point. Planets in the Orus sector include Chazwa, Poderis, and Joiol. [TLC]
Oseon system - Adjacent to the Rafa system and composed of nothing but thousands of asteroids, the Oseon system is famous for its wealthy inhabitants and its booming tourist trade. Seven wide bands of asteroids orbit their sun, and many of these bodies have been turned into luxury resorts or private estates. Many tourists come to see the famous Flamewind of Oseon, a yearly phenomenon caused by an increase in stellar flares. The flares interact with asteroid vapor, creating brilliant bands of ionized gas thousands of kilometers long that fill the system with fluorescing colors. The Flamewind lasts an average of three weeks, and the strong radiation prevents all communications and in-system space traffic with the exception of message torpedoes. Carrying personal weapons in the Oseon is a capital offense. [LCFW]
Oseon 2745 - An asteroid in the Oseon system which is closer to the sun than most, and consequently is uncomfortably hot in spite of its air-conditioning and life support systems. Oseon 2745 is primarily a mining colony, unlike most of the pleasure-resort asteroids in the rest of the system. [LCMH]
Oseon 5792 - Located in the Fifth Belt of Oseon asteroids, 5792 was the private estate of Bohhuah Mutdah, an immensely fat retired industrialist who was the wealthiest individual in the Oseon system. The asteroid was disk-shaped-- fifteen kilometers in diameter and less than three kilometers thick. One side of the disk was covered with lakes, trees, gardens, and a palace, all kept under transparent domes with artificial gravity. The other side housed a well-defended spaceport containing a wide collection of spacecraft. The asteroid was destroyed by Renatasian raiders during Lando Calrissian's smuggling mission in the Oseon. [LCFW]
Oseon 6845 - The asteroid Oseon 6845, like most places in the Oseon system, caters to wealthy and powerful Oseoni. It is the largest asteroid in the system-- 700 kilometers in diameter-- and has a surface honeycombed with nightclubs and resorts, including the Hotel Drofo. The Esplanade, a tree-lined walkway with a three-meter deep gravity field, is located at the center of a small city on the asteroid's equator. The stores fronting the Esplanade are said to be among the most expensive properties in the galaxy. A spaceport is located on the northern pole of 6845, and the asteroid has been artificially accelerated to give it a 25-hour rotational cycle. [LCFW]
Oslumpex V - Vinda and D'rag, Starshipwrights and Aerospace Engineers Incorporated, have their operation on Oslumpex V. Han Solo's ship was placed on the Red List because he owed 2500 credits to this company. [HSR]
Ossel II - A high-gravity world of steaming bogs and swamps, Ossel II is the homeworld of the dim-witted alien species known as the Ossan. The Ossan have an extremely primitive society and have developed spears and clubs to defend themselves against the cucul, a predator that resembles a floating log. Most intergalactic visitors to Ossel II come to purchase syp wood, which the Ossan provide in exchange for being allowed to serve a tour of duty on the trade ships. Some Ossan are used as agricultural slaves on Karfeddion for benefit of the House Vandron. [GG4, COTJ]
Ossus - Ossus, located in the Adega system (one of the six remaining Auril systems), orbits the twin Adegan suns in a figure-eight trajectory. It was an important Jedi stronghold and learning center in ancient times, and there is some speculation that the Order of Jedi Knights began on this planet. Ossus was once covered with many cities, and a range of rocky mountains was located near the Knossa spaceport. The steep canyon walls are still covered with elaborate murals, and the planet's atmosphere is charged with occasional electrical storms. About 4000 years ago all the cities of Ossus were abandoned during the Great Sith War. The Ysanna, a tribe of warrior-shamans who use the Force to guide their primitive weapons, took up residence on Ossus following its abandonment. A 10,000 year-old lightsaber, given to Leia Organa Solo by Vima-Da-Boda, surfaced 800 years ago in an archaeological dig on Ossus. Luke Skywalker visited an arid, sandy portion of the planet during the Emperor's reappearance and discovered the Ysanna tribe, an ancient Jedi library, and a vault of lightsabers hidden beneath the roots of the Neti Jedi master Ood Bnar. At the time of Skywalker's departure, the New Republic was planning to send in excavation teams to explore Ossus' ruins. While on an undercover mission to Borgo Prime thirteen years later, Skywalker and Tenel Ka claimed that they needed Corusca gems to open a sealed treasure vault located on Ossus.

Ottega system - Located in the Lesser Plooriod Cluster, the Ottega system's fourth planet is Ithor. Consequently, it is sometimes referred to as the Ithor system. The smuggler Mako Spince was crippled by NaQoit bandits during a run to this system. [DE, SWS]
Ottethan system - Neema, daughter of the Jedi Vima-Da-Boda, was executed in the Ottethan system for attempting to use the dark side of the Force against her husband, an Ottegan warlord. The Ottethan system was the ruling system of his twelve-system empire, located on the far perimeter of the galaxy. She was fed to the rancors that run wild in the Ottethan forests. [DE]
