.It is home to theprimitive alien race called Whipids, who delight in hunting the indigenous caraboose, furrymastmots (also called motmots), seagoing arabores, flying snow demons, Sea Hogs, and IcePuppies.Toola has only a brief growing season during the summer months when grasses appearto join the purple lichens on the plains.Whipids have only the most primitive technology and livein loose nomadic tribes led by the best hunter, called the Spearmaster.The only significant exportfrom Toola is ice for water-scarce planets, and Whipids can be found in the galaxy acting astrackers and mercenaries.Notable Whipids include J'Quille, one of Jabba the Hutt's hunters, andLady Valarian, owner of the Lucky Despot hotel on Tatooine.Four years after the Battle of Endor,Luke Skywalker traveled to Toola to inspect the ruined home of a slain Jedi Master, who hadonce been the curator of Jedi records on Coruscant.[COPL, GG4, TFJP]To-phalion BaseTo-phalion Base, possibly in the Iast system, was a secret Imperial research facility built into thehollowed- out interior of a large asteroid.Formerly used as a mining operation, the asteroid laterhoused a hangar bay and laboratories for the Vorknkx Project, which developed an experimentalcloaking device following the Battle of Hoth.The base was surrounded by eight smaller asteroids-- four with anti-warhead defense batteries and four with turbolasers.Just prior to the Battle ofEndor, the renegade Admiral Zaarin attacked To-phalion and Grand Admiral Thrawn wasdispatched to stop him.Zaarin succeeded in stealing the corvette Vorknkx, containing theprototype cloak, and escaping into the Unknown Regions, though he was tracked and sooneliminated by Thrawn.[TSC]ToprawaAfter the Alliance stole the Death Star plans, they were delivered to the Toprawa Relay Station.The rebels on Toprawa then transmitted the plans to Princess Leia's ship, the Tantive IV, in theoperation known as Skyhook.Later, as punishment for helping the Alliance, the people ofToprawa were forced into a pre- industrial state-- relying on campfires and bantha-drawn carts astheir highest form of technology.Loyal Imperial forces began living in shining, illuminated citadelsout of reach of the lowly Toprawans.Periodically, stormtroopers would ride a grain cart intovillage squares and watch as the peasants crawled forward on their stomachs, wailinglamentations over the Emperor's death at Endor.Grain was only given to those whose penanceseemed the most sincere in the eyes of the observing Imperials.Some three years after theBattle of Endor, Imperial Intelligence agent Kirtan Loor spent a week on Toprawa after beingordered back from a stay on Borleias.[SWR, DS, XWRS]TralusOne of the five habitable planets in the Corellian system, Talus is a blue, white and green worldthe same size as its sister planet Talus, and both orbit a common center of gravity (whereCenterpoint Station is located).Together they are referred to as the Double Worlds, and both areruled by the elected Federation of the Double Worlds, or Fed-Dub.Beneath the surface of Tralusis a planetary repulsor, which was used in ancient times to move the planet into its current orbitfrom an unknown location.When a flare-up in Centerpoint Station (fourteen years after the Battleof Endor) caused many deaths, the survivors were relocated to Talus and Tralus.When wordspread of the incident, two rebellions against Fed-Dub occurred on Tralus.A group of starfighters,54possibly representing one of the Tralus rebellions, subsequently flew to Centerpoint and claimedthe station for themselves, until chased off by a Bakuran task force.[AAC, AAS, SAC]Trammis IIITrammis III is famous as the home of the gigantic reptiloids sometimes called dinosaurs.Theinhabitants of the planet speak Trammic, which is related to the Old High Trammic spoken by theToka of the Rafa system.[LCMH]Tran MarielThe Yavinian runyip of Yavin 4 is named for a similar stubborn herbivore found on Tran Mariel.[GG2]TrebelaA major Rebel network was exposed in Trebela's capital city by Imperial Governor Kraxith.Surprisingly, most of the Rebel groups discovered had been working independently and were notaware of the others' activities.[SWS]TrianThe homeworld of the feline Trianii species, located far from the disputed border between theCorporate Sector and the Trianii colony worlds.The Trianii Ranger Atuarre was born on thisworld.[CSSB]TritonWhen Han Solo's tauntaun froze to death in a Hoth blizzard, he commented that it was "deaderthan a Triton moon." [ESBN]TroganTrogan, in the system of the same name, features the Whistler's Whirlpool tapcafe on the coast ofits most densely-populated continent.At the center of the Whirlpool is the Drinking Cup, a naturalrock bowl which violently fills with seawater six times a day due to Trogan's strong tides.TheWhirlpool was a disappointing failure as a tourist attraction and has since been abandoned.TalonKarrde arranged a smugglers' meeting at the Whirlpool, which was attacked by bribed soldiersfrom the nearby Imperial garrison.[DFR, TLC]Tro'HarThe planet Tro'Har is located in the Elrood sector, near the planet Coyn.[SWAJ]TrulalisLocated in the system of the same name, Trulalis is a rich green planet of grasslands, forests andoceans.Beneath a thick cloud layer, the unspoiled world is covered with windswept fieldsseparated by stretches of wilderness, and dotted with several small settlements.Trulalis hasbeen set aside as a low-tech world by the Issori, and most of its inhabitants shun all forms ofhigher technology-- using miniature banthas as beasts of burden, for instance.Nestled within asteep mountain range is the gated community of Kovit, a farming settlement dominated by atowering, buttressed theater of white limestone.During the golden age of the Old Republic, Trulalis was a thriving cultural center boasting one ofthe finest liberal arts schools in the galaxy.Today, however, its days of respected theater anddrama have long passed, and only a few scattered remnants testify to its former glory.Sometimebefore the Battle of Endor, the Dark Jedi Adalric Brandl hired the smuggler Thaddeus Ross tobring him to Trulalis, Brandl's former home.[SWAJ]Tsoss BeaconAn automated beacon station located on a desolate planetoid in the Deep Galactic Core.Theregion is inundated with deadly radioactive storms and solar flares, and the station itself was55constructed by droids and suicide crews.The last human personel abandoned the station severalyears prior to the Battle of Yavin.It was at Tsoss Beacon that Admiral Daala met with, andmurdered, the remaining Imperial warlords eight years after the Battle of Endor.[DS]TundLocated in the remote Tund system, this hidden world was home to the mysterious and ancientSorcerers of Tund.Many are not sure if "Tund" refers to a single system or to a cluster of stars.No one is sure what species the sorcerers themselves were, since they were known to coverthemselves in heavy grey robes.Years ago Rokur Gepta, a snail-like Croke, infiltrated theSorcerers of Tund and learned their secrets.He then murdered his teachers and transformed theplanet Tund from an attractive world of prairies, forests, and jungles to a blasted, sterilewasteland.The deadly radiation was held back in some places by force fields, so Gepta couldland his ship on Tund safely.[LCMH, LCFW, LCSC]TurkanaThe planet Turkana is located in the Hadar sector, and has several moons.Prior to the Battle ofYavin, at least five Star Destroyers on patrol near Turkana discovered the Alliance fleet in orbitaround the world
