Elom

Elom is home to Eloms and the Elomin. For centuries, the two species lived unknown to one another, with Eloms living deep underground to access the planet's natural springs, and the Elomin living a technologically advanced life on the surface.

Eloms are primitive and peaceful, and evolved on the surface in times long passed. Only later did they adapt to subterranean life, evolving larger claws for digging and acquiring an extreme sensitivity to bright light. They live in communities called cseria, annually meeting to solve problems and to trade goods.

The Elomin became aware of Eloms during an expedition inside the caves of the A'driannamieq Mountains. Due to the rigid perceptions of order and structure in the Elomin world, they found the concept of underground Eloms difficult to grasp. Accordingly, the mountain explorers never reported to their findings to the Elomin Council.

When Elom became part of the Galactic Republic, a lucrative trading deal was struck with the Elomin, with precious lommite ore from the planet's crust being exported from the planet. A cave-in during the mining operation revealed the Elom civilization again to the Elomin, and the Republic began to investigate, finding Eloms to be sentient and giving them land-rights over an area of the planet. The Elomin began a resource-sharing program with their newly discovered co-habitors, although they were hesitant in entering such a deal with a culture they found so strange and alien. The Eloms, for their part, were content to persist in their subterranean existence.

When the Empire assumed control over the planet, the Elomin were forced into slavery and Eloms' land ownership was revoked. Most Eloms sought an existence even deeper underground, but occasionally young Eloms would journey up to free Elomin slaves using "mining accidents", despite the disapproving sentiment among the Elom elders.

Eloms rarely journey off the planet Elom, and those who do show sociopathic streaks in their personalities, possibly because of their separation from their native environment.

Elrood

Elrood is a primary planet in the Elrood System near the Rimma Trade Route. It has two moons, Sharene and Lodos. The sector itself contains "The Drift" and the nebulous Degan Gas Clouds making navigation somewhat hazardous for inexperienced pilots. During the era of the Galactic Empire, Elrood was controlled by the sinister Moff Villis Andal.

Emerido

Emerido is one of two inhabited planets in the Stavo System in the Core Worlds. The planet is a major center for hi-tech technological research and development and giant research facilities are scattered across the planet's surface. Like a few other planets in the Star Wars galaxy, Emerido is covered by an ecumenopolis, or planet-spanning city. Though not as built-up as Coruscant, Emerido still boasts a population in the hundreds of billions. Emerido was the home planet of Supreme Chancellor Kalpana, who served immediately before Finis Valorum.

Empress Teta

Empress Teta is the primary world of the Empress Teta System. It was renamed in the honor of Empress Teta, who was the ruler of the planet; in 5,000 BBY she unified all the planets in the system. Since the capital city of Cinnagar covers more than half the planet, the planet itself is also often referred to as Cinnagar.

This planet, originally named Koros Major, was one of the first planets to join the Old Republic. Millennia before the events that take place in the films, this planet was the site of the first incursion upon the Old Republic by the Sith Empire in what came to be known as the Great Hyperspace War. Years later, the Krath Aleema and Setal Keto lived on Empress Teta and used it as their base.["Byss and the Deep Core: Empress Teta"][Empress Teta (planet)] at Wookieepedia

Endor

Endor, seen in , is the gas giant to the forest moon of Endor, featured in Return of the Jedi. Endor is located in the remote Moddell Sector. Endor is believed to make two appearances in Return of the Jedi, seen as a pinkish planet in the background of a scene with the forest moon.George Lucas et. al, The Annotated Screenplays (1997). ISBN 0345409817Daniel Wallace and Scott Kolins, The Essential Guide to Planets and Moons (Star Wars) (1998). ISBN 0345420683

England

England is the planet which apparently manufactures medical supplies for the Galactic Empire. Aside from this little is known about the planet England, except that they use a written alphabet similar to the Latin alphabet, rather than the more common Aurebesh. When Princess Leia is being interrogated aboard the Death Star in A New Hope, the words "Made in England" can clearly be seen on the syringe of the interrogator droid.

Ennth

Ennth is a planet that self-destructs via volcanic eruptions of the planet's crust every 7–8 years.#redirect It is also the home planet of the Jedi Knight Zekk.

Eos

Eos is a lava planet, and the secret location of a Trade Federation droid factory. It supplied many droids and ships for the invasion of Naboo and other worlds that did not pay their dues to the Trade Federation. Eos was also rich in minerals required for the Trade Federation technology. It was discovered by one of the Trade Federation's human pilots, Vana Sage, who overheard a communication about the illegal invasion of Naboo. The Federation attempted to murder her, but she escaped and stumbled upon the small planet. After she had met up with her counterpart, Reti, as well as Rhys Dallows and Nym, they went to destroy the droid factory there. Once it was destroyed, the heroes went to help liberate Naboo. Eos was never used again after its original factory was destroyed. Eos is featured in the game .

Ergo

Eriadu

Eriadu is the homeworld of Grand Moff Tarkin. The surface is full of dirty industry and waste zones that pollute the atmosphere. Eriadu manufactures many goods that can be purchased by the player character in the game . It was also the site of a trade summit where all of the non-Neimoidian members of the Trade Federation directorate were assassinated in a hit arranged by Darth Sidious.

Esseles

Esseles is a Core World residing in Darpa Sector along the Perlemian Trade Route. It is a temperate and mountainous world where the most of the inhabitants dwell within the deep mist-shrouded valleys. The capital city is Calamar, a center for high-tech research and development, specializing in hypernautics and advanced hyperdrive engines. Esseles was the main political power center within Darpa Sector prior to the events of the Clone Wars and the rise of the Empire. Under Imperial control, the world suffered economically and quickly lost most of its sector influence and territories, but the inhabitants, being naturally peaceful, chose not to intervene in the affairs of the Emperor.#redirect

Etti IV

Etti IV is a mostly urban covered world within the Corporate Sector Authority (CSA), and home of the Etti people—tall, gaunt humanoids with thin bodies and long limbs. The rest of the planet features smooth, moss-covered plains and shallow, saline oceans. The world profits from being near several hyperspace trade routes that run through the CSA.

Exodo II

Exodo II is a hot, stormy, and dense world in the Meridian Sector, near Durren and Odos. The Millennium Falcon had a brief encounter with the world nine years after the Battle of Endor.Barbara Hambly, Planet of Twilight (1997). ISBN 0553095404

Falleen

Falleen is home to the species of the same name, and is the birthplace of Prince Xizor. The planet fell in a bloody battle with the Yuuzhan Vong shortly after the Battle of Kalarba.#redirect

Felucia

Felucia is a boggy world covered in giant fungus-like organisms, which appeared in .

Felucia is filled with strange species of plants and animals which are almost translucent, rubber-like, and quite interesting. It is the home of many Acklay (the spider-like monster in the arena on Geonosis ). When the sun shines, the environment glitters like multicolored glass, with a multitude of colors. This planet was colonized by the Gossam in 40,000 BBY. It served as the headquarters of the Commerce Guild during The Clone Wars. Felucia was also one of three planets along with Mygeeto and Saleucami that was labelled by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine as a Triad of Evil during the final days of the Clone Wars. It can be played on and taken over in .

During the Battle of Felucia, two Jedi Knights, Aayla Secura and Barriss Offee, led the Republic's Star Corps clone troopers under Marshal Commander Bly's command. They were supposed to be looking for Shu Mai, the leader of the Commerce Guild, but when the troops received the message of Order 66 Aayla Secura was blasted from behind by clone troopers, while Barriss Offee, who also joined the battle, was blasted away by a AT-TE Walker.

Fest

Fest is the primary planet in the Fest System. The planet is ravaged by civil war both among its inhabitants and against Mantooine. The Festians were rebellious to the Empire and knew that it was about to attack Mantooine, but the distrust for each other, coupled with a lack of communications facilities, prevented them from warning the other planet.#redirect

Fest is dominated by steep mountain ranges and deep valleys. The planet appears in two Star Wars games. In ', in a rocky and cliffy region there is an Imperial research facility concerned with the weapons of the Dark Troopers. In a level of the Nintendo 64 game ', in a snowy region resembling Hoth, there is a factory plane specializing in the production of AT-ATs and AT-PTs.

Fondor

Fondor is a Mid Rim world famous for its orbital shipyards. Much of its surface is scarred from incessant mining for raw materials to supply the always-hungry shipyards, as well as Fondor's moons. Darth Vader's Executor-class Super Star Destroyer was constructed over Fondor.#redirect During the Galactic Civil War, Rogue Squadron used captured TIE Hunter prototypes to attack and destroy an unnamed Super Star Destroyer equipped with a Cloaking Device that was under construction at the Fondor shipyards. Fondor was brought under New Republic control several years after the Battle of Endor, and the relationship was bolstered by Han Solo saving the last of Fondor's rulers' children from rogue Imperials working with a corrupt planetary bureaucracy.#redirect The strategically valuable planet became a target during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion; it was saved from Vong invasion when a blast from Centerpoint Station directed by Thrackan Sal-Solo destroyed a portion of the enemy fleet. However Fondor was saved at the cost of the Hapan war fleet, which was caught in the inexpertly aimed weapon's destructive blast. Fondor would continue to supply the Galactic Alliance with starships in the war.James Luceno, , Book 5 of The New Jedi Order (2000). ISBN 0345428595

Gall is the seventh moon of the Cadavine Sector in the Zhar System. Its environment consists of rocky plains, its day has 29 hours, and its year has 369 days.

Gall has no sentient species (although a wampa features in the game Shadows of the Empire), but it is known that the Empire keeps several Elite Troopers guarding the hangars in the Moon.

In Shadows of the Empire, Dash Rendar tracks Boba Fett to the Gall Spaceport and attempts to intercept his starship, Slave I. Fett escapes, taking the carbon frozen Han Solo with him.

Gamorr

Gamorr is the home of the Gamorreans.

Gand

Gand is the homeworld of the Gand. Its atmosphere is primarily ammonia, making it lethal to most galactic lifeforms. The Gand do not breath, they absorb all neccessary nourishment through eating. They are able to speak by storing various gasses in a special gas bladder used just for this purpose (see X-Wing: Wedge's Gamble). They often find work as bounty hunters, due to their tradition of "findsmen".#redirect

Garqi

Garqi was a very unusual planet, as it appeared purple from space. This was mainly because the minerals in its soil turned the native plant life purple. Garqi was an agricultural planet that was captured easily by the Yuuzhan Vong.#redirect

Generis

Generis is a desert planet full of towns and cities, sector capital of Atrivis Sector. Five years after the Battle of Endor, Grand Admiral Thrawn captured it from the New Republic, destroying the Republic communications center and most of the sector fleet supply depots.#redirect

Genesia

Genesia, located in Brak Sector, was a haven to many of the sector's crimelords due to the corruptibility of the local government.#redirect

Gentes

Gentes is one of the inhospitable planets of the Anoat System. The dwarf-like Ugnaughts are from here.#redirect

Gerona

Gerona is a planet in the Elrood system. It looks like a blue world with rings around it. Its population is mostly human with Twi'leks, Duros, Sullustans and Koboks also representing it. The terrain of the planet is rainforests, urban areas, deserts, grasslands, and seas. Although it was a republic planet, near the end of the Jedi Civil War, the Sith occupation was strong in many of the settlements. Most believe this is because a number of the cities were owned by the Czerka Corporation, and both factions had good relations with the other, especialy involving trade.#redirect

Geonosis

Geonosis, seen in , is the home planet of the Geonosians, and the site of the Battle of Geonosis. Geonosis is ruled by Poggle the Lesser. It was a complex for droid factories as well as a hideout for the Separatist leaders until the Clone War outbreak.

The planet is located less than one parsec from Tatooine. In many ways the planet is similar to Tatooine, as it is a rocky desert world. One notable difference is that the planet has large and dense rings in orbit. Furthermore, the Geonosians dug a complex series of caves underneath the surface, with occasional spires of secretions protruding from the ground in some areas. One such example of this is the Geonosian execution arena.

The Clone Wars began on this planet after Anakin Skywalker, Padmé Amidala, and Obi-Wan Kenobi were captured by the Trade Federation and the Geonosians.
