Tiferep Major

Tiferep Major, also simply known as Tiferep, was a ringed terrestrial planet in the Mid Rim Territories and Western Reaches with a population of two billion, two-thirds of which sympathized with the Rebel Alliance in the Galactic Civil War. After decommissioning the wreckage-prison Accresker Jail due to a gundravian hookspore infestation around 1 ABY, the Galactic Empire set the facility on a collision course with Tiferep Major in order to eradicate the rebels there.

Seconds before Accresker Jail reached the planet, the Sith Lord Darth Vader had it held back with a tractor beam, wishing to board the prison in search of the rogue archaeologist Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra. As he did so, the Rebel Alliance evacuated its forces from the planet. After Vader abandoned his search, the prison was released, crashing into Tiferep Major and devastating the planet.
