Burantia

Canon Linked from 7 articles

Burantia, also known as Planet WG4587, was a terrestrial planet with mountainous forests where indiginous kaijura lived. It remained uncharted until the CR70 corvette of Galactic Republic Senator Bail Organa crashed there between 40 BBY and 32 BBY. The Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi were dispatched in a T-6 shuttle to the world to find Organa and his staff, but their ship was destroyed by a kaijura before they could reach the corvette.

The Jedi then escaped the kaijura and found the corvette and its crew, only to learn a pack of kaijura was rapidly approaching. Using the Force, Jinn helped the damaged corvette take off and had its captain, Jeremoch Colton, launch the vessel's escape pods into a kaijura that grabbed them in mid-air. Once the creature let go of the corvette, it was able to depart from Planet WG4587 and return safely home. Kenobi later wrote an after-action report on the mission.
