Pipada system

The Pipada system was located in the Videnda sector, a part of the Outer Rim Territories and Western Reaches. It was situated in grid square M-18 of the Standard Galactic Grid. The system held the planet Pipada, which was home to at least half a million members of the native Drabatan species. Hutts and Shawda Ubb also resided on the planet.

By 1 BBY, during the Imperial Era, Pipada was blockaded and occupied by the Galactic Empire as a result of Drabatans speaking out against the Imperial regime. After the singer Sa'Kalla wrote popular protest songs against the Empire, she was captured and executed in the Pipada Auditorium. After this, the Drabatans fought off the Empire and temporarily reclaimed the planet. However, Imperial reinforcements recaptured the planet and stripped it of its resources, forcing the Drabatan species to abandon the world.
