Palanhi - Located in the Palanhi system, Palanhi is a crossroads planet with a reputation for exaggerating its own importance. The planet has remained neutral in an effort to profit from both sides of the galactic Civil War. Grand Admiral Thrawn had funds transferred into Admiral Ackbar's account through the central bank on Palanhi in an effort to discredit the Admiral and create a false trail to trap anyone who investigated.

Pantolomin - Pantolomin is famous for the intricate coral reefs found in the waters off its northern continent. The Coral Vanda, an underwater casino, travels through the network of reefs on three- and seven-day luxury excursions. The Coral Vanda's eight gambling areas include the Saffkin and Tralla rooms, and patrons can view the reefs' fish and animal life through the transparent hull. Grand Admiral Thrawn forced the Coral Vanda to surrender its passenger Captain Hoffner, who knew the location of the lost Katana fleet. [DFR]

Paonnid - Grand Admiral Thrawn's forces made information raids on several systems in the Paonnid region. Thrawn also studied "Paonidd" extrassa art, which could be related. [HTTE]

Paradise system - The garbage-strewn Paradise system is home to the quarrelsome, unicellular protozoans known as Ugors. Early in their history the Ugors polluted their home planet in the system, yet survived by adopting a form that could survive on garbage and waste. The Ugors, who have built a religion around their love of trash, have begun charging fees to those wishing to make a "pilgrimage" to the Paradise system to pore through and remove useful items from the vast store of garbage. Ugor society is composed of various waste recovery companies, which are controlled by the Holy Ugor Taxation Collection Agency (HUTCA). Ugors frequently find themselves in conflict with the Squibs for control of the galactic trash-hauling business. [GG4]

Paulking XIV - The home of the fur-bearing trout. A taxidermized specimen is on display in the Poly Pyramid tavern on Rafa IV. [LCMH]

Pesmenben IV - A planet where Lando Calrissian ran a con-job on an Imperial governor. Calrissian laced the dunes of Pesmenben IV with valuable lithium carbonate, convincing the governor to lease the planet, and then tricked the governor into offering bribes to non-existent "union officials." [ROJN]

Pho Ph'eah - The alien species inhabiting Pho Ph'eah has blue fur and four arms. The assistant manager in the main lounge of Bonadan Spaceport Southeast II was a native of Pho Ph'eah. [HSR]

Phorliss - The smuggler Mara Jade briefly worked as a serving girl in a Phorliss cantina following the death of the Emperor. [DFR]

Phraetis -- Lando Calrissian ran a botched operation on Phraetiss about ten years before the rise of Grand Admiral Thrawn. It was here that he made the acquaintance of the smuggler Niles Ferrier. [DFR]

Pil Diller - Pil Diller was once home to a species of mournful singing fig trees, according to the Holographic Zoo of Extinct Animals on Coruscant. [DA]

Pits of Plooma - During his smuggling years, Han Solo attended an Ithorian Herd Meeting located "halfway from the Pits of Plooma to the Galactic Rim." [COTJ]

Plah - A lifeless moon orbiting Tibrin. [GG4]

Poderis - Poderis, in the Orus sector, is a harsh world with a ten-hour rotational cycle and a severe axial tilt which can create windstorms of up to 200 km/hr. In addition, the unusual geology of Poderis has forced its colonists to build their cities on the tops of a vast network of mesas. An angled wall one hundred meters wide (called a shield-barrier) runs along the outer edge of these cities, which helps deflect Poderis' damaging seasonal winds. Poderis' stubborn colonists are fiercely independent and the unimportant planet seldom receives visitors. Skywalker visited Poderis in an attempt to uncover the Empire's clone trafficking network, and narrowly escaped a trap set for him by Grand Admiral Thrawn. [TLC]

Praesitlyn - The location of a major communications station, located within sixty light-years of Bpfassh in the Sluis sector. [HTTE]

Ptera system - The Ptera system is home to the planet Flax, homeworld of the insectoid species known as the Flakax. [GG4]

Pzob - The third planet in the K Seven Forty-nine system, Pzob is a world of thick, ancient forests which was colonized by a group of Gamorreans many years ago. Official reports on Pzob have not been updated in almost fifty years. Some eighteen years before the Battle of Yavin, the Empire established a base on Pzob where forty-five stormtroopers were to await the "Eye of Palpatine." The battlemoon never arrived, and over the years every stormtrooper except Triv Pothman was killed by internal fighting and constant skirmishes with the Gamorreans. Pothman served as a slave in the Gamorrean Gakfedd clan village for two years, followed by a year with the Klagg clan. Eight years after the Battle of Endor, Luke Skywalker and his companions landed on Pzob. A ship from the "Eye of Palpatine" captured them, Pothman, and the Klagg and Gakfedd clans. [COTJ]
