I'vorcia Prime

I'vorcia Prime was a planet in the I'vorcia Prime system of the Outer Rim Territories' Mieru'kar sector that was home to various exotic creatures, including sarlaccs. During the reign of the Galactic Empire, much of its ecosystem was damaged during the Battle of I'vorcia Prime, and what was left was kept as a nature preserve, while a quarantine blockade was set up above the planet.

Around 5 BBY, the smugglers Han Solo and Chewbacca were paid by the collector Dok-Ondar to acquire baby sarlaccs from Doctor Genzhor on I'vorcia Prime. However, Solo was betrayed by Genzhor's assistant, Ooris, who attempted to steal Solo's starship, the Millennium Falcon, to escape I'vorcia Prime with frozen sarlacc spores. The smugglers managed to stop Ooris and left I'vorcia Prime with one juvenile sarlacc, taking it back to Dok-Ondar's Den of Antiquities on Batuu.
