The Nightlands, also known as the Darkside, were the half of the tidally-locked planet Ryloth in perpetual night. They were the counterpart to the Bright Lands, which were in perpetual day.
During the Great Peace of the Republic, the Nightlands were the site of a podracing course. By 24 BBY, Tzidik Wrantojo was the track favorite.[1]
Behind the scenes
The Nightlands first appeared in the 1997 junior novel Young Jedi Knights: Jedi Bounty, written by Kevin J. Anderson and Rebecca Moesta.[2] When Ryloth appeared on the television series Star Wars: The Clone Wars in 2009, it was not depicted as being tidally locked, putting the existence of the Nightlands in question.[3]
