Unidentified jungle world (Sith Empire)
- "Let's get these beasts up the ramp! Hurry, the fleet departs for the rendezvous in one standard hour."
- ―A Sith soldier on the jungle world
A jungle world had rainforests on its surface, featuring gnarled trees and long grass. The world was home to a reptavian species.[1] During the reign of the Sith Empire, the Sith Lords of the Empire transported Sith war behemoths—a species of large, quadrupedal herbivores native to the[2] Sith Worlds[3] planet Khar Delba—to several harsh jungle worlds,[2] including the world with the gnarled trees,[1] where the creatures were subjected to Sith alchemy and centuries-long breeding programs in order to turn them into violent war beasts for the Sith armies.[2]
At the time of the Dark Lord of the Sith Naga Sadow's preparations to attack the Galactic Republic[1] in 5000 BBY,[3] his Sith soldiers maneuvered several of the war behemoths of the jungle world into the troop containers of a Sith personnel carrier waiting to take them to the Sith invasion fleet.[1]
Behind the scenes
The jungle planet was introduced in the second issue of The Fall of the Sith Empire story arc of Dark Horse Comics' Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi comic-book series.[1] The issue was published on July 23, 1997,[4] written by Kevin J. Anderson, and penciled by Dario Carrasco, Jr.[1]
