Panna Prime
Panna Prime, also known as the red-water moon, was a moon located in the Panna system that orbited the planet Panna along with two other moons.
History
The entire moon was covered in a gelid ocean consisting of mud in which many different creatures dwelt. The moon was inhabited and had at least one city which catered to many different alien species. The Galactic Empire had a presence on the moon during the Galactic Civil War.[2]
In 0 ABY, Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca crash-landed the Millennium Falcon, transporting an ill Han Solo on the moon. R2-D2, and C-3PO encountered Boba Fett near Panna City when Luke landed his Y-wing there searching for the Falcon's crew. Although Fett at first appeared to be a friend, and helped the droids find a cure for and Solo's illness, which Skywalker had also contracted, at the time, Luke and R2 eventually learned that his intentions were to locate the Rebel base for Darth Vader. Fett escaped via his jetpack after his true intentions were revealed.[2]
The inhabitants of the moon were known for their distinct hotcakes, simply called Panna cakes. This recipe was popular enough to be exported off-world, and served in locations such as Dex's Diner on Coruscant.[4]
