Jakku

Jakku was a remote desert planet located in the Jakku system in the galaxy's Inner Rim and was the homeworld of the Teedo and Uthuthma species. Though considered by many within the galaxy to be distant and relatively worthless, Jakku was the site of important events that would shape galactic history. In 5 ABY, Jakku was the site of the pivotal Battle of Jakku, which ended the Galactic Civil War in favor of the New Republic and the collapse of the Galactic Empire.

A generation later, the planet was the home of the scavenger Rey, who became involved in the events of the Cold War after helping the former First Order stormtrooper Finn and the astromech droid BB-8 escape offworld with a map leading to the missing Jedi Luke Skywalker.

By 35 ABY, Jakku had been placed under the direct control of the First Order, though its populace would later rebel against them following the Battle of Exegol.
