Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.
Varl was the original homeworld of the Hutts, t'landa Til, and possibly the Rybets. According to Hutt legend, it was devastated in a cataclysm that vaporized its atmosphere and obliterated its moons, as well as all other planets in its star system. The planet was located in the Ardos system, in the Hutt Space oversector. It was the original capital of the Hutt Empire, from the empire's formation in 25,200 BBY, to the planet's destruction in 15,000 BBY, where the Hutts relocated to Nal Hutta, as the sector and empire's new capital.
