------------

Ran System
Contains the planet Randon.

Nanthri Route
A shipping route.

Randon
Female ward-cousins on the planet Randon are traditionally honored (due to their potential inheritance) and are customarily served first. Randoni women wear their hair loose and flowing, and an alcoholic drink from Randon is the Randoni Yellow Plague. Luke Skywalker and Tenel Ka posed as archaeological traders from Randon during their undercover mission to Borgo Prime.

Redcap
Redcap is a rainy, barren world of shifting mud plains, crossed with jagged canyons and mountain ranges. Since ships can easily sink in the thick mud, landings are restricted to the stable Tyma Canyon, which runs for several hundred kilometers across the planet's surface. Redcap's human inhabitants-- the poverty- stricken descendants of early mining colonists-- live in settlements built on the bases of the mountain chains. Repulsorlifts are inoperable on Redcap, since the omnipresent mud clogs their systems. Instead, residents travel on olai, horned beasts of burden originally brought from a nearby moon to Redcap for use in the mining industry. Points of interest on the planet include Juteau Settlement, which was built near the Garish Ridge and contains the Laughing Bantha tavern. Ruck's Rut is a multileveled network of rifts and fissures located in Tyma Canyon. Redcap is shrouded in gray skies, though low patches of lavender-pink clouds sometimes hug the world's surface. Redcap is nominally under the Empire's control and has a minimal Imperial presence, though the planet's 140,000 inhabitants possess no form of organized government. The old smuggler Toob Ancher, suffering from the Bitter Winter disease, came with Drake Paulsen to Redcap, where the old man's checkered life came to an end.

Ved System
The Ved System contains the planets Vedis I-IV.

Vedis I
A planet in the Ved System.

Vedis II
A planet in the Ved System.

Vedis III
A planet in the Ved System.

Vedis IV
The smuggler Lu Esi, an associate of Toob Ancher, was killed when he crashed his freighter over Vedis IV while being pursued by sector authorities. When Toob Ancher felt he was about to die, he left Socorro to finish his life on Vedis IV, though he would not face death until a later adventure on the planet Redcap.
