Nilash III

Nilash III, also called simply Nilash, was the third planet in the Nilash system, located close to the baradium-rich planet Chelloa. It was home to a tree-dwelling, telepathic native species and a known source of anthracite. During the New Sith Wars the jungle-covered planet housed a Daimanite munitions plant while, under the rule of the Galactic Empire, the Nilash Imperial Impound Facility was established in an orbit around the world. It was on this world that the later-famous smuggling freighter the Millennium Falcon, at the time known as the Second Chance, first came into Rebel possession. During the following years, the control over Nilash was repeatedly transferred between the Empire and Rebellion's respective incarnations.
