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

Anoat System
Located in the backwater Ison Corridor. The Anoat system contains the planets Anoat, Gentes (the homeworld of the pig-like Ugnaughts), and the colony world of Deyer. Animal life on Anoat includes the Anoat lizard-ant, who can be found in great numbers during the creatures' mating season. Moff Rebus, a weapons specialist working for the Empire, had a hidden stronghold located under the sewage system of Anoat City. Rebus was captured by Alliance agent Kyle Katarn following the Battle of Yavin. After their escape from the Battle of Hoth, Han Solo and Princess Leia found themselves in the Anoat system and made the decision to visit Bespin's Cloud City.

Anoat
A planet in the Anoat System.

Deyer
Located in the Anoat system, Deyer is a colony world composed of floating raft cities, terraformed lakes, and abundant fish and crustacean life. The colonists on Deyer had created a peaceful, democratic political system until they spoke out against the destruction of Alderaan, paving the way for a brutal military takeover of Deyer by Imperial troops. Kyp Durron and his family were originally from Deyer.

Gentes
Located in the remote Anoat system, Gentes is the homeworld of the pig-like Ugnaughts. The Ugnaughts lived in primitive colonies on Gentes' less-than-hospitable surface until most left the planet to work at Cloud City on Bespin.

Ison Corridor
This trade route runs through this system.

Ryloth System
Located in the Outer Rim, near Tatooine. It contains the planet Ryloth.

Ryloth
Located in the Outer Rim near Tatooine, Ryloth is the principal planet in the Ryloth system and is home to the alien species known as Twi'leks. Twi'leks are humanoid aliens with two large, fleshy "head-tails" growing from their skulls. The Twi'leks call these prehensile appendages "lekku" and can communicate in secret through lekku gestures, though they also have a spoken language, Twi'leki. Their rocky, mountainous planet has no rotation, so one side of the planet always faces the sun and the only habitable areas are in the band of twilight separating the two sides. Heat storms in Ryloth's thin atmosphere help to distribute warmth throughout the twilight zone, which the Twi'leks inhabit within networks of mountain catacombs. Wind-driven turbines power their primitive industrial civilization, and raw fungi and cowlike rycrits are raised for food. Ryloth's primary exports are the addictive ryll spice and Twi'lek females, who are desired for their seductive dancing skills. The Twi'lek government is organized around a five-member "head clan," who are in charge of all community decisions. When one member of the clan dies, the remaining four are exiled into the dayside desert (the "Bright Lands") and a new head clan is selected. Points of interest on Ryloth include the city of Kala'uun.

A major Twi'lek corporation is Galactic Exotics, which developed orchards on the planet Belsavis. Ryloth is also home to SchaumAssoc., a Twi'lek advertising agency that pioneered media and public relations for the Corporate Sector. Years ago, a small Imperial refueling center and training outpost was established on Ryloth, supported by the Empire yet often used by smugglers. Tarkin, then a Commander, had early plans to turn this refueling station into an important location in the Outer Rim. Jabba the Hutt's majordomo, Bib Fortuna, was one of the first to widely sell ryll spice off-planet, which attracted the Empire's attention and brought slavers to Ryloth. Fortuna was sentenced to death but escaped, and returned later with an army of Jabba's men to exact revenge. Seven Ryloth cities were burned and Jabba took slaves and riches, while Fortuna rescued Nat Secura, the last son of a great Twi'lek family. Fortuna made plans to someday return with Secura and rule Ryloth as he saw fit. Not long before the Battle of Endor, Fortuna enslaved a clan chief's daughter named Oola, and trained her to serve as a dancer in Jabba's palace. Maw scientist Tol Sivron, Rogue Squadron pilot Nawara Ven, and the ancient Jedi knight Tott Doneeta were also natives of Ryloth.

Tintagel
The star of the Ryloth System.
