Ukio - Ukio, in the Abrion sector and the Ukio system, is one of the top five food-producing planets in the New Republic and was the target of an attack by Grand Admiral Thrawn. A spokesman for the Ukian Overliege surrendered the planet to the Empire after Thrawn seemingly demonstrated the ability to fire directly through planetary shields. The smuggler Samuel Tomas Gillespee bought a plot of land on Ukio, which he lost when the Empire took control of the planet. [TLC]

Umgul - A cool, mist-covered world in the same system as Dargul, Umgul is known as a center for gambling and sports attractions. The planet's spaceport is located in Umgul City, built on the limestone banks of a wide river that attracts numerous pleasure barges. The city is covered with signs and attractions for visitors, though cheating in the gambling establishments is punishable by death. Tourists primarily visit Umgul to see the famous Umgullian blob races, held in an arena carved from rock and ringed with fans to blow away the thick fog. The protoplasmic blobs, bred for racing, are kept in stables and monitored by the Umgullian Racing Commission for any signs of illegal enhancement. Lando Calrissian visited Umgul while searching for a possible Jedi candidate. [JS]
