Shadda-Bi-Boran

Shadda-Bi-Boran was an Outer Rim planet inhabited by a sentient species of the same name. It had three moons and contained plains and swamps. Shadda-Bi-Boran orbited the sun Shadda, which had reached its white dwarf phase by the decline of the Galactic Republic. The resulting implosion threatened the Shadda-Bi-Borans, who had a purifying enzyme only activated by Shadda's sunlight.

Fundraising and research efforts throughout the galactic community to find a substitute for the Shadda-Bi-Borans' enzyme or a suitable new star failed. In 38 BBY, as Shadda-Bi-Boran began to freeze over, the Refugee Relief Movement sent volunteers to evacuate the population in the hope that some distant planets would have appropriate conditions for the species. The final Shadda-Bi-Borans were evacuated as the planet froze, and ultimately the species was unable to adapt elsewhere and went extinct.
