Bofan System
The Bofan System contains Bofa II.

Bofa II
During the Time of the Reign of the Empire, Imperial surveillance probes for the surrounding sector were distributed from an Imperial cargo transfer area near Bofa II. An Alliance team captured a loaded freighter from this transfer area following the Battle of Yavin, and altered the probes in order to disguise the movements of the Rebel fleet.

Darglum System
The Darglum System, also known as the Umgul System, is the home of the famous Umgullian blob races.

Dargul
Dargul is the sister world of the blob-racing planet Umgul. It is the location of Palace Dargul, residence of the Duchess Mistal. When the Duchess reached the age of marriage and advertised for a consort, a candidate named Dack altered the Palace's computer to name him as the winning suitor. When he could no longer stand the Duchess' company, he fled to Umgul and was captured by Lando Calrissian. Calrissian was given a million-credit reward from the Duchess for the return of her consort.

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.

Yag`dhul
Yag'Dhul, a small dense planet with three moons, is the homeworld of the alien species known as the Givin. The complex interaction of orbits and rotations between Yag'Dhul and its moons means that the planet is continually beset by massive tidal forces powerful enough to pull the water and the atmosphere to different locations, exposing large areas of the planet to hard vacuum. While some animals on Yag'Dhul survive by traveling along with the tides, the Givin have evolved a hard, sealable exoskeleton which allows them to survive in vacuum. The Givin inhabit hermetically sealed cities built to withstand the strongest tides, and their society is organized around complex mathematics due to the importance of predicting the tides and the advanced calculations necessary to do so. Technology on Yag'Dhul is quite advanced, and the Givin are respected starship builders.
