{{Quote|Good climate. Lots of natural resources. The thick growth of trees will give us perfect air cover. And from the looks of it, no dangerous animals. We might have found just what we're looking for.|Leia Organa|audio=LeiaOnArbra-POTH.ogg|<ref name="Planet of the Hoojibs">[[The Further Adventures: Planet of the Hoojibs|''Planet of the Hoojibs'']]</ref>}}
'''Arbra''' was a densely forested [[Planet/Legends|planet]] that became the [[Haven Base|headquarters]] of the [[Alliance to Restore the Republic/Legends|Rebel Alliance]] after the evacuation of [[Golrath Station]], around [[3 ABY/Legends|3 ABY]]. Home to the lagomorphic [[Hoojib/Legends|Hoojibs]], Arbra was once inhabited by an [[Arbran (species)|ancient race]] who had resided in subterranean cities.

As a safe haven in a desperate hour for the Rebellion, Arbra earned the nickname "'''Salvation'''." They launched many missions against the [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Empire]] from the world during their stay. The location of Arbra was kept top-secret, and the Rebel [[Haven Base|base]] on its surface was heavily secured. Though the planet was never attacked by Imperial forces during the Rebels' stay, there were close calls, and Arbra offered its own share of dangers.

After the [[Battle of Endor/Legends|Battle of Endor]], Arbra remained a member of the [[Alliance of Free Planets]], and later the [[New Republic/Legends|New Republic]]. The system was overlooked by the [[Yuuzhan Vong]] during [[Yuuzhan Vong War|their invasion]], and served as a location to slowly build up military forces.

==Description==
{{Quote|This planet seems perfect!|C-3PO|<ref name="Plif">[[Star Wars (1977) 55|''Star Wars'' (1977) 55]]</ref><ref name="Coffin in the Clouds">[[Star Wars (1977) 56|''Star Wars'' (1977) 56]]</ref>}}
[[File:Arbra_country.jpg|thumb|left|180px|The Arbran landscape.]]

Occupying the second orbit in its system, Arbra had one moon. Unlike most planets, it was not a spherical world.<ref name="Planet Hoppers" /> The world was located in the [[Outer Rim Territories/Legends|Outer Rim Territories]], approximately midway between [[Omwat/Legends|Omwat]] and [[Naboo/Legends|Naboo]].<ref>Non-Canon Ref</ref>

From the air, Arbra looked like any other undeveloped forest world, covered mostly with trees—some up to a mile in height—with the occasional mountain jutting up and lakes and small seas filling what space was left.<ref name="Planet Hoppers" /><ref name="Plif" /> There was no trace of technology on the world's surface, causing many observers to assume it lacked intelligent life.<ref name="Plif" />

Despite the tranquil appearance of the surface, hidden deep within a huge cavern was a vast array of geothermal [[power rod]]s that drew energy from the planet's core. The geothermal energy was then transformed into electricity and released into the atmosphere as high-altitude lightning, thus regulating the planet's stability. It was also the primary food source for the native Hoojibs, a species that consumed energy directly.<ref name="Plif" /> [[Luke Skywalker/Legends|Luke Skywalker]] believed the energy stemmed from the [[The Force/Legends|the Force]], somehow balancing out the [[Dark side of the Force/Legends|dark side]] energy well in the ancient Arbran city lying underneath the cavern.<ref name="Planet Hoppers" />

Despite being rich in resources, Arbra remained a relatively unknown world until the Rebels arrived. The Rebels found this mysterious, and had no satisfactory explanation for it.<ref name="Planet Hoppers" />

==History==
===Early history===
In the [[pre-Republic era]], Arbra was colonized by the [[Sith (species)/Legends|Sith]]; located in the southern quadrant far from the [[Sith Worlds]], it was the most distant from the other Sith colonies.<ref name="Atlas" /> By the time of [[Xim/Legends|Xim]] the Despot, the [[Arbran (species)|Arbrans]] had settled themselves in a [[Grotto City|large city]] deep within the lowest levels of the crystalline cavern that would house the future Rebel base.<ref name="Planet Hoppers" />

The Arbrans discovered a way to remove their base emotions—anger, fear, hatred—from themselves, in the process creating a corporeal being that embodied all the negative emotions, known as the [[Darker]]. It would have been possible to destroy the creature, but as it was in some ways a part of themselves, they decided to let it live, locking it behind a force screen that prevented the passage of anything exhibiting negative feelings. At some point the Arbrans then migrated offworld, leaving their city and the Darker locked behind the screen. The Hoojibs knew that there was a darkness in those caverns, but did not know its nature and learned to avoid it.<ref name="The Darker" />

During the [[Clone Wars/Legends|Clone Wars]], Arbra was located within [[Confederacy of Independent Systems/Legends|Separatist]] space.<ref name="Atlas" />

[[File:Falldown.jpg|thumb|200px|A hibernating slivilith enters Arbra's atmosphere.]]

In [[1 BBY/Legends|1 BBY]], the smuggler [[Han Solo/Legends|Han Solo]] abandoned his partner [[Billal Batross]] on the world.<ref name="Hollow Moon">''[[Star Wars Adventures: Han Solo and the Hollow Moon of Khorya]]''</ref> Around [[3 ABY/Legends|3 ABY]], a Yuuzhan Vong creation<ref name="Alien Anthology">''[[Alien Anthology]]''</ref> known as the [[slivilith]], which had been drifting through space for millennia, was caught by Arbra's gravity. It detected the warmth the planet's unique crystals generated and took up residence in the crystal cave. Unfortunately for the Hoojibs, this was their main food source, as they consumed the crystals' energy directly. Driven out of the cave, they were forced to forage for other power sources.<ref name="Plif" />

===Rebel discovery===
{{Quote|We could search a dozen galaxies and not find a better base site than this!|Rebel scout|<ref name="Plif" />}}
Following their loss at the [[Battle of Hoth/Legends|Battle of Hoth]], the Rebel Alliance was in desperate need of a new permanent base of operations, hidden from the [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Empire]]. It was during this time that a force under the command of [[Leia Organa Solo|Leia Organa]] and [[General/Legends|General]] [[Carlist Rieekan/Legends|Carlist Rieekan]] discovered Arbra.<ref name="Planet Hoppers" /> Preliminary reports on the world were promising—there was no dangerous wildlife, and the planet's only native species, the Hoojibs, were non-threatening<ref name="Plif" /> and assumed to not be very intelligent—and so the Rebel fleet set course for the planet. While the fleet waited in orbit, a [[Rebel survey team|survey mission]] led by Leia Organa traveled to the surface to gather more information and determine any possible dangers.<ref name="Planet of the Hoojibs" />

At first, the planet seemed paradisaical, and the Rebel scouting team nicknamed it "Salvation." Initial contact with the Hoojibs seemed to support the reports on them. In order to keep the bulk of the Rebel forces from being caught unawares, the fleet moved away from the planet while the ground team carried out their mission, setting a course along the ecliptic and looking to return in three days. On the first night, however, the survey team awoke to find that Hoojibs were swarming over their machinery and [[Droid/Legends|droid]] [[C-3PO/Legends|C-3PO]].<ref name="Plif" />

[[File:Homearbra.jpg|thumb|left|180px|The Rebel fleet arrives at Arbra.]]

When the Rebels awoke, the Hoojibs scattered, but [[Chewbacca/Legends|Chewbacca]] apprehended one. He was surprised to find it speaking [[Telepathy/Legends|telepathically]] to him, and it identified itself as [[Plif/Legends|Plif]], the Hoojib [[spokesmind]]. Plif explained to the Rebels their nature as energy-consumers and the crisis with the slivilith, which had forced them to feed on the Rebels' power supplies. All but two of the Rebels' [[Blaster/Legends|blasters]] were now non-functional, and with their radio drained of power they could not contact the fleet to be rescued, and so they joined forces with the Hoojibs to defeat the slivilith. After a heated battle, the creature was killed by Chewbacca.<ref name="Plif" />

When they saw the slivilith's cave and its power rods, the Rebels realized how advantageous relocating to Arbra could be. However, the Hoojibs were not willing to give up their home, and fighting threatened to break out between the two groups. Leia broke the standoff, promising that, as it was the Hoojibs' world, the Alliance would leave them be. However, Plif relented, offering to share their territory with the Rebels. When the fleet returned to orbit, they began the process of moving into their new base on Arbra.<ref name="Plif" />

===Rebel base===
[[File:Arbra_Airspeeder2.jpg|thumb|250px|A T-47 airspeeder scouts Arbra.]]

Arbra was well suited to its role as a hidden base. Its location was considered to be prime, and the lack of any civilization but the Hoojibs made it ideally secluded. The closely intertwining branches of the expansive forests shielded ground movement from observers in the air, and the cave system provided a convenient shelter. The pleasant climate and abundance of natural resources, including the practically unlimited power obtainable from the geothermal crystals, only made it more ideal.<ref name="Planet of the Hoojibs" /> The cavern itself was deep enough to resist Imperial probes and large enough to house the Rebels' entire operation.<ref name="Plif" />

The Alliance engaged in regular scouting patrols, using [[T-47 airspeeder/Legends|T-47 airspeeders]] painted in green camouflage.<ref name="Coffin in the Clouds" /> The approach to the main base was along a narrow path carved through the forest growth, with sentries in the branches along its edge monitoring the way, and guns poised to shoot down any intruders. Arriving vessels were required to transmit a code phrase to identify themselves.<ref name="Shira's Story">[[Star Wars (1977) 60|''Star Wars'' (1977) 60]]</ref>

The base itself, located in the mountain that held the crystal caves, was lined with gun emplacements.<ref name="Coffin in the Clouds" /> Its hangar and launch bay, located in the mouth of the cave, was also the only entrance to the base, and was concealed by a blast-shielded false rock wall that covered its entrance when it was not in use.<ref name="Planet Hoppers" /><ref name="Sundown">[[Star Wars (1977) 58|''Star Wars'' (1977) 58]]</ref> As this entrance was a vulnerable point, Chief Logistics Officer [[Captain/Legends|Captain]] [[Kavel Mesa]] arranged for other tunnels out of the base and emergency exits for ships to be dug.<ref name="Planet Hoppers" />

[[File:Arbra_Takeoff.jpg|thumb|left|160px|Rebel starfighters take off from Arbra.]]

As the main base of operations, Arbra was the launching point for many Rebel missions in this period. The rescue of [[Lando Calrissian/Legends|Lando Calrissian]] from the Imperial-controlled [[Cloud City/Legends|Cloud City]],<ref name="Coffin in the Clouds" /> [[Skirmish on Spindrift|the strike]] against [[Spindrift Station]],<ref name="Shira's Story" /> the destruction of Golrath Station,<ref name="Golrath Never Forgets">[[Star Wars (1977) 65|''Star Wars'' (1977) 65]]</ref> and [[Battle of the secret armada|the mission]] against the [[Secret armada|the fleet]] of [[Mils Giel]], which resulted in the apparent death of pilot and Imperial spy [[Lumiya|Shira Brie]], were all carried out from the Arbra base.<ref name="Screams in the Void">[[Star Wars (1977) 61|''Star Wars'' (1977) 61]]</ref> Arbra was also where Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa planned and launched the rescue of [[Han Solo/Legends|Han Solo]].<ref name="The Darker" />

===Imperial threats===
The Alliance was very careful to keep Arbra's location secret, only giving its coordinates to the most trusted Rebel operatives. Shira Brie tried to obtain them by claiming to have a personal matter to attend to on her supposed homeworld of [[Shalyvane]], but was unable to convince Princess Leia to give her the information.<ref name="Shira's Story" /> To protect the location of Arbra, the Alliance was forced to destroy their former base at [[Golrath Station]] when they discovered the unique image-recording capabilities of the rocks on that world.<ref name="Golrath Never Forgets" />

In orbit around the planet, the Rebel fleet could be easily spotted, risking the exposure of the Arbran base. In response, Leia Organa proposed a risky plan; using five [[Kerts-Bhrg field generator|Kerts-Bhrg generators]], capable of holding back the heat of a star's chromosphere, a pyramidal net could be created around the fleet, allowing it to enter the outer layers of the [[Arbran]] sun and so evade detection.<ref name="Sundown" />

[[File:Arbran_Fleet.jpg|thumb|180px|The Rebel fleet hiding in the Arbran sun.]]

Moments after the fleet was in place, Rebel scanners detected Imperial vessels in the quadrant. Leia promptly left the fleet in a shuttle, accidentally leaving behind C-3PO and [[R2-D2/Legends|R2-D2]]. The latter had detected a failure in the generator's equipment, which soon knocked the crew unconscious and began to weaken the protective field. Meanwhile, the Imperial vessels, four [[TIE/LN starfighter|TIE fighters]], arrived in the system, forcing Leia's shuttle to hide. Back in the Arbran chromosphere, the two droids were the only beings capable of fixing the generator and saving the fleet.<ref name="Sundown" />

The TIE fighters soon left, not having detected the Rebels. Meanwhile, C-3PO and R2-D2 made a daring spacewalk from the generator to a [[EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate/Legends|Nebulon-B frigate]] in the fleet, where they connected a power cable from the former to the ship's reactor. This was sufficient to boost the generator's ability enough to keep the fleet safe.<ref name="Sundown" /> Repairs were presumably made, as the fleet remained hidden in the sun from then on. A quarter of the fleet's [[Starfighter/Legends|starfighters]] were kept with the fleet.<ref name="Planet Hoppers" />

===The Darker===
The cave in which the Darker resided had lain undisturbed until the arrival of the Rebels, which the being sensed. It detected that their technology was capable of destroying the force screen keeping it trapped, and began broadcasting a mental cry for help. R2-D2, traveling through the cave system, heard this and accidentally found his way into its domain. There the creature took him apart, determined to use the droid's parts to escape and avenge itself upon the long-gone Arbrans.<ref name="The Darker" />

[[File:Darker_Grotto.jpg|thumb|left|180px|The domain of the Darker.]]

The Hoojibs, seeing this, warned C-3PO and Chewbacca, and the entire group went down into the Darker's cave. After making the Hoojibs flee by instilling fear in them, the creature used its powers to turn Chewbacca's loyalty into hatred against C-3PO. After a short chase, C-3PO discovered the secret to destroying the creature in the Arbrans' library. By making Chewbacca remember Han Solo, C-3PO broke the Darker's spell over him, and the Wookiee turned on the being, flinging him into the force screen. The screen absorbed the Darker's energies, killing it and emitting a surge of energy that collapsed the underground city, with the droids, Chewbacca, and the Hoojibs barely escaping in time.<ref name="The Darker" /> C-3PO later recommended that guards be posted at the entrance.<ref name="Planet Hoppers" />

Shortly after the Darker incident, Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, and others left Arbra in search of Han Solo,<ref name="The Darker" /> though they would return after being sidetracked from their search by other Rebel business.<ref name="Chanteuse of the Stars">[[Star Wars (1977) 77|''Star Wars'' (1977) 77]]</ref> Around this time, the Rebels may have brought supplies from their former base on [[Hoth/Legends|Hoth]] to Arbra.<ref>[[Star Wars (1977) 78|''Star Wars'' (1977) 78]]</ref><ref>Due to several conflicting elements with the rest of the [[canon]], in particular [[Wes Janson/Legends|Wes Janson's]] death and [[Wedge Antilles/Legends|Wedge Antilles]] being stranded on Hoth, ''Hoth Stuff!'' is considered non-canon, and has been [[retcon]]ned as a tall tale told by Wedge Antilles. Some elements of the story have been acknowledged as being in continuity, however, and as this is not one of the contradictory elements, it is included here as possibly canon.</ref>

[[File:Arbra.jpg|thumb|right|The Rebel fleet in orbit around Arbra.]]

===New Republic member===
With the death of [[Galactic Emperor/Legends|Emperor]] [[Palpatine/Legends|Palpatine]] and the destruction of the [[Death Star II/Legends|second Death Star]], the [[Alliance to Restore the Republic/Legends|Rebel Alliance]] and soon after the newly-formed [[Alliance of Free Planets]] relocated its core group to [[Endor/Legends|Endor]], the site of its victory, and the base on Arbra was abandoned.<ref name="Databank">{{DB|location|arbra|Arbra|archivedate=20110826074836}}</ref>

However, the Hoojibs remained part of the Alliance.<ref name="Databank" /> Shortly after Endor, Leia spoke in front of the Alliance's [[New Republic Provisional Council|Provisional Council]] to support Plif's nomination as the representative of Arbra in the new government.<ref name="Planet Hoppers" /> The Alliance made use of Arbra once more in the [[Nagai–Tof War|Nagai-Tof War]], when [[General/Legends|General]] [[Carlist Rieekan/Legends|Carlist Rieekan]] pulled a large deployment of soldiers to Haven Base following the [[Nagai]]'s [[Second Battle of Endor|attack on Endor]] and the subsequent Alliance evacuation of that world.<ref name="Nagai">{{Hyperspace|url=fans/hyperspace/source/nagai11202009/index.html|text=The Forgotten War: The Nagai and the Tofs|int=The Forgotten War: The Nagai and the Tofs}}</ref>

Plif would later go on to become the [[Senator/Legends|Senator]] of his world in the [[New Republic/Legends|New Republic]], where he was noted for his wisdom and compassion.<ref name="Planet Hoppers" /> Arbra would remain a steady member of the Republic.<ref>[[The Essential Guide to Alien Species (real-world book)|''The Essential Guide to Alien Species'']]</ref> Despite Arbra's suitability for colonization, Senator Plif convinced the Republic leadership to make no major settlements on the world itself. Mining facilities, a refueling station, and a small shipyard were constructed on other planets in the system and in orbit around Arbra.<ref name="Alien Anthology" />

During the [[Yuuzhan Vong]] War, Arbra was overlooked by the invaders. Military forces began to quietly build up in the system, and Plif encouraged his people to join the war alongside the Republic.<ref name="Alien Anthology" />

==Inhabitants==
[[File:Arbra_Mountains.jpg|thumb|left|200px|A Hoojib watches the Rebels take off.]]

An ancient pre-Republic civilization, the Arbrans, had once lived on the world, but they had left long before the Rebellion arrived.<ref name="Planet Hoppers" /> By the time of the Empire, the sole native species were the Hoojibs, a diminutive furry race that communicated through telepathy. They lacked any technology, and survived by feeding off power. The government of the Hoojibs was clan-based, each clan arranged in a communal structure<ref name="Alien Anthology" /> and having its own clan speaker,<ref name="Planet Hoppers" /> and the entire Hoojib race was represented by one spokesmind; Plif during the time of the Rebellion.<ref name="Chanteuse of the Stars" />

Approximately 8,000 Rebels were also located on Arbra during its years as a base.<ref name="Planet Hoppers" /> As the New Republic, they would occupy a few small facilities in orbit above the world.<ref name="Alien Anthology" />

The only other known sentient inhabitant of Arbra was the Darker. With the power to instill negative feelings in beings, it also had telepathic abilities,<ref name="The Darker" /> and seems to have been a manifestation of the dark side of the Force.<ref name="Planet Hoppers" /> The Darker was killed by Chewbacca in 3 ABY, leaving its city uninhabited.<ref name="The Darker" />

==Locations==
====Haven Base====
{{Main|Haven Base}}
Haven Base, also known as the "Hole in the Ground," was the cavern base established by [[Alliance High Command/Legends|Alliance High Command]] that housed the Rebels in their time on Arbra. The cavern was deep enough to resist Imperial scans and large enough to house the Rebels' entire operation, as well as having its own built-in power source in the power rods.<ref name="Planet Hoppers" />

[[File:Arbra_Haven_Base.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Haven Base, in the crystal cave.]]

The Arbran base was divided into numbered modules and corridors; the mess, for example, was located at Corridor 14, Module 3.<ref name="Pariah">[[Star Wars (1977) 62|''Star Wars'' (1977) 62]]</ref> Other facilities included a briefing room,<ref>[[Star Wars (1977) 64|''Star Wars'' (1977) 64]]</ref> a laboratory, a courtroom where Luke Skywalker once stood trial for the apparent killing of Shira Brie, private quarters for higher-ranking Rebels,<ref name="Golrath Never Forgets" /> and the [[Great Hall (Arbra)|Great Hall]], where ceremonies were held.<ref name="Screams in the Void" />

Hoojibs were a common sight throughout the base, and often communed with the Rebels in the mess.<ref name="Pariah" /> After their first contact with the Rebels, the Hoojibs avoided feeding on the energy of Rebel droids.<ref name="Chanteuse of the Stars" />

===Arbran city===
{{Main|Grotto City}}
Located in a grotto directly underneath Haven Base, the ancient city of the Arbrans once housed their race, but in later years would be the home of the Darker. Amongst its building, it held a library, a dining hall, and a central plaza with a fountain. The entire city was surrounded by a force shield sensitive to negative emotions, designed to keep the Darker trapped within.<ref name="The Darker" />

When the Darker was thrown into the force shield, killing it, the subsequent release of energy sealed the entrance to the city, and may have completely destroyed it.<ref name="The Darker" />

==Behind the scenes==
The board game [http://swmerchandise.wikia.com/wiki/Risk:_Star_Wars_Original_Trilogy_Edition ''Risk: Star Wars Original Trilogy Edition''] includes Arbra as one of the planets players can control, though it erroneously places it in [[Wild Space/Legends|Wild Space]].
