Abafar
Canon Legends version → Linked from 91 articles
Abafar was a remote desert planet located within the Outer Rim Territories, and was host to massive amounts of rhydonium, a scarce and volatile fuel source. The large desert was known as the Void, and light was twisted in a way by the strange regolith that made it impossible to see tracks because there were no shadows. During the Clone Wars, the Confederacy of Independent Systems set up a mining installation in the settlement of Pons Ora. The planet wasn't very populated only having a couple villages scattered around the planet. During the reign of the Galactic Empire, the Hutt crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure had a drilling platform on Abafar to mine rhydonium. Following the Battle of Endor, the New Republic pilot Wedge Antilles visited Abafar whilst looking for Imperial forces that may have been hiding in the Outer Rim.
