Roxuli

Roxuli was an Expansion Region planet located at the edge of Galactic Republic space. By 27 BBY, a dispute had arisen between Roxuli's planetary government and the Roxuli system's asteroid miners, threatening the economic stability of the local sector. That year, Roxuli was visited by the Republic exploration and colonization vessel Outbound Flight as the last stop on its shakedown cruise before it entered uncharted space.

During the starship's stay above the planet, the visiting Republic Supreme Chancellor Palpatine—in reality, the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, who did not wish for the Jedi Padawan Anakin Skywalker to be killed in a planned attack on the Outbound Flight—arranged for the reassignment of Skywalker and his teacher, Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, off the Outbound Flight so that the duo would instead mediate negotiations at Roxuli. Decades later, the planet had become a part of the New Republic.
