Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

Kushibah was a planet in the Gordian Reach sector of the Outer Rim Territories. It was home to the primitive lagomorph Kushiban species, most notably the Jedi Master Ikrit. The planet had no cities and limited technology.

The native Kushibans were mainly farmers and weavers. They were famous for their hand-woven textiles which involved growing silkweed and combining it with fur they brushed from their coats daily and then spinning it with thread. The thread would then be used to weave cloth and tapestries in a wide variety of colors.

The planet was also home to the fearsome xinkra—three meter tall predators which were feared by the other native species. Ikrit saved his village from a pack of these creatures by using the Force to convince the xinkra to seek food elsewhere.
