Corellia

Corellia. The home of the 'scum of the universe'. Or so is believed. Corellia is the heart of smuggling of the Galactic Empire; and even the Old Republic before. Though commonly reffered to as scum, they are probably the most glamorous aspect of the Star Wars universe. With characters like Han Solo, Talon Karrde, and Lando Calrissian originating from here, Corellia is bound to have a great deal of folklore and legends. both fact and fiction.

Sullust

Warriors like Nien Nunb, Huebo Neva, Syub Snub are from the legendary Sullustan Regiment.

Sullust is where the Rebel Fleet congregates before launching it's assault on the Second Death Star. But, of course, the Emperor's spies are everywhere. They notify the Emperor of the Alliances plan, and the Emperor sets a plan for them. The Rebel Alliance is doomed. It's a trap...

Mon Calamari

Mon Calamari. The home of the the Admiral Ackbar and other Rebel loyalists. It is located in the Sluis Sector.

Another extract of Mon Calamari is the brilliant work of art; the Mon Calamari Cruiser.

Alderaan

In effect, this is where the Rebellion truly began. Or rather, the end of Alderaan, marked the beginning of the Rebellion.

Alderaan. The home planet to the legendary Bail Organa.... and of course, Princess Leia Organa; Bail Organa's adopted daughter. Alderaan was a peace loving planet; with no weapons or self defense of any kind. It was, in effect, the intellectual centre of the Rebellion; though unassuming in its role. It was an unfortunate setback and loss to the Rebel Alliance when Grand Moff Tarkin chose Alderaan to be the proverbial 'guinea pig' to demonstrate the full capacity of the Battle Station Death Star... but it was also an impetus to the Rebel cause. One that proved quite fatal to the Empire in the long run...

Endor

The largest of nine moons orbiting the silvery gas giant Endor, the forest moon of Endor is the size of a small planet, and is also known as the sanctuary moon, or often simply just Endor. It is located in the Moddell Sector. It is a temperate moon of forests, savannas and mountains, with a relatively light gravity. Its climate is suitable for its many native life-forms, including the somewhat primitive, furry Ewoks, who make their communal dwellings high in the trees.
The Empire selects Endor as the construction site for its second Death Star, and establishes an Imperial base on the moon's surface to generate a protective shield for the orbiting battle station. A Rebel strike force, including Han Solo and Princess Leia, lands on Endor in an attempt to destroy the shield generator, and gets some unexpected help.
