Trascor
Trascor was a terrestrial planet[4] located in the Trascor system, a part of the Corva sector[1] in the New Territories portion of[2] the Outer Rim Territories.[1] It featured the large island continent Klypash.[4]
The Shatras, a species of four-eyed sentient reptilians, evolved on Trascor. The species was divided into five races, including the Hy'tras and the dominant Y'tras, and the Shatras fought extensive racial wars[4] centuries prior to[5] 2 ABY.[6] After the conflicts, the Hy'tras willingly reverted to a more primitive level of technology and made a bargain with the Y'tras in which the former surrendered all of their accumulated wealth in return for the latter leaving them alone.[4]
Subsequently, the Hy'tras only resided on Klypash—with the other three Shatras races inhabiting other regions of Trascor—while members of the dominant Y'tras eventually left their homeworld for the wider galaxy.[4] The Shatras bounty hunter Ssach'thirix hailed from Trascor.[5]
Behind the scenes
Trascor was first mentioned in Alliance Intelligence Reports, a 1995 sourcebook for West End Games' Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game.[5] The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas placed the Trascor system, and therefore the planet itself, in grid square P-3.[3]
