Elshandruu Pica
- "Get us into the Quence Sector, Elshandruu Pica. I have friends there."
- ―Corran Horn, to Keevy Spart
Elshandruu Pica was a planet in the Elshandruu system[5] of the Quence sector, in the Outer Rim.[2]
Description
The planet was known as a health resort.[6] Within an asteroid belt used as a staging area for pirates, Elshandruu Pica had a red moon and two white moons in its orbit.[5]
Its capital was Picavil. The city was the site of a conglomerate of bars, casinos, and restaurants owned and operated by Kina Margath.[5] Picavil also had a spaceport.[6]
The City of Elshandruu City was the location of the Elshandruu Pican hotel/resort Margrath's.[8][9] The resort made galactic news when it was robbed twice in a two-day period by the infamous Tombat.[8]
When Serv-O-Droid, Inc. went bankrupt, it operated in name only through a remainder house on Elshandruu Pica.[10]
History
- "Captain Yonka made his rounds, visited his mistress on Elshandruu Pica—he's seeing the Moffs wife, though the Moff believes he's bedding the owner of a local resort."
- ―Fliry Vorru, to Ysanne Isard
During the Galactic Civil War, the planet was ruled by Imperial Moff Riit Jandi. At some point, Captain Sair Yonka and the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Avarice went to Elshandruu Pica and fought the pirates in the neighboring asteroid belt. He later kept a suite in the 27th Hour Social Club and used it to secretly meet the Moff's wife, Aellyn.[6]
Corellian commodities shipper Tev Driscull lost his ship, the Lantillian Short Hauler Nova Whisper, to the privateer Dharus while they were at Elshandruu Pica.[11]
During the Bacta War, Rogue Squadron's members went to Elshandruu Pica in order to convince Sair Yonka to defect. He accepted and joined the New Republic to fight Ysanne Isard.[6]
