{{Quote|Well, it has big trees, in case your eyes don't work anymore.|[[Canderous Ordo]] to [[Revan/Legends|Revan]]|<ref name="KOTOR" />}}
'''Kashyyyk''' (see [[Kashyyyk/Legends#Pronunciation|pronunciation]]), also known as '''Wookiee Planet C''', '''Edean''', '''G5-623''', and '''Wookiee World''', was a [[Mid Rim]] planet. It was the lush, [[Wroshyr tree/Legends|wroshyr tree]]-filled [[Homeworld/Legends|homeworld]] of the [[Wookiee/Legends|Wookiees]]. It was a member of the [[Galactic Republic/Legends|Galactic Republic]], endured enslavement under the [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Galactic Empire]], and later joined the [[New Republic/Legends|New Republic]].

==Natural features==
===Geography===
{{Quote|This place is wild and untamed. It stirs the blood and makes one feel&hellip;alive.|[[Juhani]]|<ref name="KOTOR" />}}
[[File:Kashkkky-lowerlevel.jpg|thumb|left|80px|The lower levels of Kashyyyk]]
With no axial tilt and a perfectly circular orbit, Kashyyyk experienced one continuous season. It was composed of a molten metallic core, rocky mantle, and a silicate rock crust. The planet had four continents, making up 40% of the surface, which were mostly covered in lush, [[Wroshyr tree/Legends|wroshyr tree]]-filled forests, which were several kilometers high. The planet did have a small amount of desert region in the rain-shadow of its small mountain ranges as well as large plains including the [[Woolwarricca]] region. A tropical ocean belt contained archipelagos and long coral reefs. In addition, a few sandy beaches could be found along the shores of its oceans. The Kashyyyk coastlines were lined with a brownish-white sand and thick grasses. Kashyyyk's highest peak was [[Korrokrrayyo Mountain]].<ref name="Forest Apart" />

Much of the planet could be compared to a giant swamp&mdash;filled with wildlife and covered with wet soil and large amounts of [[Water/Legends|water]]. The prevalent ecology could be politely described as a "layered deathtrap," as the dangers presented by local wildlife increased as one descended toward the forest floor. According to [[Wookiee/Legends|Wookiee]] culture, this vertical environment consisted of seven levels. The bulk of Wookiee civilization was located on the uppermost seventh level, and even the bravest Wookiees rarely ventured below the fourth level. Unlike most, [[Chewbacca/Legends|Chewbacca]] was known to travel below this marking point for most Wookiees. The ground level was known as the [[Shadowlands/Legends|Shadowlands]] and, sometimes, the "notherworld."<ref name="Wookiee Storybook">''[[The Wookiee Storybook]]''</ref>

===Flora===
As previously stated, the wroshyr trees were the dominant flora. Wroshyr trees may have actually been one large connected organism, as when limbs of two tree limbs ran into each other, they would fuse together. The Wookiees inferred great symbolism in this.<ref>''[[Star Wars Encyclopedia]]''</ref> [[Jolee Bindo]] theorized that the species of wroshyr tree was in fact alien to the planet and was planted there by the [[Infinite Empire]]. This was based on information given by a [[Rakata/Legends|Rakata]] [[Builder Forge|computer]] left near one of their ancient [[Star Map]]s.<ref name="KOTOR" />

[[File:Can-cell_kashyyyk.png|thumb|left|200px|A pair of [[Can-cell/Legends|can-cells]]]]
The forests of Kashyyyk were filled with a tremendous variety of plant life, many with some form of consciousness. The Wookiees learned to communicate with these plants and often came to an understanding about their use. One example of this was with the [[Orga/Legends|Orga]] plants, who allowed the Wookiees to harvest their older roots to use in [[Life Day/Legends|Life Day]] ceremonies.

Most other flora was parasitic to the wroshyr trees, grew in dirt pockets in crevices of the trees, or was carnivorous. [[Chyntuck]] was a species of onion-like vegetable used by the Wookiees as food. The [[Kthysh]] was a vined plant used by the Wookiees to make [[Bowcaster/Legends|bowcaster]] strings.

There were at least two types of large carnivorous plants in the lower levels. These included a carnivorous, spiked vine plant, and the infamous [[Syren plant/Legends|Syren plant]], which played a crucial role in the coming of age rituals for various Wookiee tribes. Both of these plants were capable of consuming adolescent Wookiees or fully grown [[Human/Legends|Humans]].<ref name="Darkest Knight" />

===Fauna===
{{See also|Category:Creatures of Kashyyyk}}
[[File:Wookiee_Defender.jpg|left|thumb|A [[Wookiee/Legends|Wookiee]] native of Kashyyyk]]
{{Quote|Kashyyyk's ecology can best be described as a layered deathtrap.|[[Gilad Pellaeon/Legends|Gilad Pellaeon]]|<ref name="Heir to the Empire" />}}
Besides the primary sentient Wookiees, Kashyyyk was home to various species of [[Kashyyyk bantha|banthas]], a small population of [[Terentatek/Legends|terentateks]], and a host of other species. Usually, the deeper into the jungle one went, the more dangerous the animals became. For instance, the tenacious and intelligent [[Wyyyschokk/Legends|wyyyschokk]]&mdash;a giant red-pigmented spiderlike creature&mdash;could track prey for over a [[Kilometer/Legends|kilometer]] and coordinate with other weavers to organize an ambush. Additionally, many of the species that inhabited the deeper parts of the jungle were capable of bio-phosphorescence, since the deeper layers of the forest were in perpetual darkness.

==History==
===Tho Yor===
Around [[36,453 BBY]], a group of the native Wookiees entered a [[Tho Yor]] which visited the planet. This Tho Yor and those which visited other planets traveled to Tython, where the [[Je'daii Order]], the earliest incarnation of the [[Jedi Order/Legends|Jedi Order]], was soon founded by the beings brought there by the Tho Yor. The Wookiees eventually moved off of Tython and settled the forest world of [[Ska Gora]].<ref name="DotJ">[[Dawn of the Jedi: Force Storm 1|''Dawn of the Jedi: Force Storm'' 1]]</ref>

===Infinite Empire===
{{Quote|The Wookiees have their legends that they were not always here, but it is more than that. The trees themselves are strangers.|[[Jolee Bindo]] to [[Revan/Legends|Revan]]|<ref name="KOTOR" />}}
[[File:Rwookrrorro-K1concept.jpg|thumb|left|The [[Wookiee/Legends|Wookiee]] city of [[Rwookrrorro/Legends|Rwookrrorro]] during the [[Jedi Civil War]]]]
At some point after the departure of the Tho Yor, Kashyyyk was taken over by the [[Rakata/Legends|Rakatan]] [[Infinite Empire]]. Its surface was terraformed by the Rakata for agricultural purposes, but the collapse of their empire left their [[Builder Forge|terraforming machines]] unattended, resulting in the planet's abnormally large foliage.<ref name="KOTOR" />

===Czerka Corporation and slavery===
In [[4020 BBY]], Kashyyyk was discovered by [[Czerka Arms/Legends|Czerka Corporation]], which renamed the planet first '''G5-623''' and then, after a poll of stockholders, '''Edean'''. They recognized the Wookiees' strength and began to [[Slavery/Legends|enslave]] them. In [[3993 BBY]] during the [[Great Hunt (Jedi)|Great Hunt]], the [[Jedi/Legends|Jedi]] [[Guun Han Saresh]] died on the planet [[Cleansing of Kashyyyk|fighting]] a [[Terentatek/Legends|terentatek]].<ref name="SaL">{{Tales|23|Shadows and Light}}</ref>

During the [[Mandalorian Wars]], the [[Mandalorian/Legends|Mandalorians]] considered conquering Kashyyyk, although they eventually decided against it; their plans for assault included burning down huge sections of forest and glassing entire continents in order to actually create a place to fight. Sometime after the Mandalorian Wars began, self-[[Exile (punishment)/Legends|exiled]] Jedi [[Jolee Bindo]] made his home on the forest floor of Kashyyyk. In [[3976 BBY]], [[Zaalbar]], a Wookiee who later aided Jedi [[Revan/Legends|Revan]], had been banished from Kashyyyk and his brother, [[Chuundar]], usurped the position of [[Wookiee Chieftain|Chieftain]] from his father, [[Freyyr]]. Chuundar allowed the Czerka to take Wookiees as slaves in exchange for weapons. Freyyr went into self-exile to the [[Shadowlands/Legends|Shadowlands]] of Kashyyyk. Czerka's control of "Edean" was [[Rebellion on Kashyyyk|disrupted]] when, in [[3956 BBY]], the enslaved Wookiee populace, led by [[Freyyr]] and Revan, overthrew the local corporate headquarters and drove all outsiders off the planet, save for the ''[[Ebon Hawk]]'' crew.<ref name="KOTOR" />

===Old Republic===
[[File:Kashyyyk_Atlas.jpg|thumb|right|200px|A Wookiee city on Kashyyyk]]
It was presumably some time after this that Kashyyyk decided to join the [[Galactic Republic/Legends|Galactic Republic]]. The Wookiees reverse-engineered the hyperdrive from a [[Trandoshan/Legends|Trandoshan]] vessel. They were welcomed into the Republic through dealings with the [[Corellia/Legends|Corellians]], [[Verpine/Legends|Verpine]], and [[Alderaan/Legends|Alderaanians]].

During the time of the [[Cold War (Galactic Republic&ndash;Sith Empire)|Cold War]], a proxy conflict between the [[Sith Empire (Post–Great Hyperspace War)|Sith Empire]] and Galactic Republic, one of the oldest wroshyr trees on Kashyyyk&mdash;reportedly millennia old&mdash;was dying, and eventually someone was sent to examine its rings and learn more about the [[Planet/Legends|planet's]] history.<ref name="SWTOR">{{TORcite|type=crewskill|Archaeology|The Wroshyr Tree's Tale}}</ref> Around the same time, an eccentric [[Hermit/Legends|hermit]] that lived on Kashyyyk gave up his isolation and rewarded those that managed to solve his old riddles.<ref name="Riddles">{{TORcite|type=crewskill|Treasure Hunting|Riddled by Riddles}}</ref>

In 1,003 BBY during the [[New Sith Wars]], the planet was [[Battle of Kashyyyk (New Sith Wars)|conquered]] by the [[Brotherhood of Darkness/Legends|Brotherhood of Darkness]].<ref name="PoD">''[[Darth Bane: Path of Destruction]]''</ref>

Eventually, Kashyyyk was represented in the [[Galactic Senate/Legends|Galactic Senate]], with [[Senator/Legends|Senator]] [[Yarua/Legends|Yarua]] being the last Kashyyyk representative prior to the outbreak of the [[Clone Wars/Legends|Clone Wars]]. The Wookiees colonized both of the major moons of Kashyyyk, as well as other worlds in the system such as [[Alaris Prime/Legends|Alaris Prime]].

A few years after the [[Invasion of Naboo/Legends|Invasion of Naboo]], the [[Wookiee Trade Guild]] attempted to tax the [[Trade Federation of Planets|Trade Federation]] for goods passed through the Kashyyyk system. An army of [[B2 super battle droid/Legends|B2 super battle droids]], led by [[Count/Legends|Count]] [[Dooku/Legends|Dooku]], arrived at the Wookiee Trade Guild's headquarters and [[Battle of Kashyyyk (Separatist Crisis)|disbanded]] it.<ref name="Battlefront" />

===Clone Wars===
{{Quote|Good relations with the Wookiees, I have.|[[Yoda/Legends|Yoda]]|<ref name="ROTS" />}}
[[File:Cwkashyyykbattle.png|thumb|left|250px|The [[Battle of Kashyyyk/Legends|Battle of Kashyyyk]] at the end of the [[Clone Wars/Legends|Clone Wars]]]]
At the start of the [[Clone Wars/Legends|Clone Wars]], Kashyyyk remained non-aligned. During the [[Dark Reaper Crisis|Dark Reaper Project]] of [[22 BBY/Legends|22 BBY]], the [[Force Harvester]] found by Count Dooku on [[Raxus Prime/Legends|Raxus Prime]] was tested on the neighboring world of [[Alaris Prime/Legends|Alaris Prime]], but all of the [[Confederacy of Independent Systems/Legends|Separatists]] were forced off the moon afterward, ending the immediate Separatist threat to the system.<ref name="TCW video" /> A small attack on Kashyyyk itself occurred some time later, but this too was repelled, and Kashyyyk retained its non-aligned posture eighteen months into the [[Clone Wars/Legends|Clone Wars]].

The decision on what role the planet would play in the conflict was left in the hands of a number of Wookiee [[Kashyyyk Royal Families|Royal Families]], acting through a council dominated by [[King/Legends|King]] [[Grakchawwaa/Legends|Grakchawwaa]]. He initially advocated neutrality, engaging in limited negotiations with both the Republic and the [[Confederacy of Independent Systems/Legends|Confederacy of Independent Systems]], which wished to control [[Hyperspace/Legends|hyperspace]] route planning and to use the Wookiees' secret trade routes to disrupt Republic trade and communication, giving them the advantage in the war.

However, in [[21 BBY/Legends|21 BBY]], [[General/Legends|General]] [[Grievous/Legends|Grievous]] grew tired of waiting and ordered the [[Trade Federation]] officials to launch several probe [[Droid/Legends|droids]] to help 'persuade' [[Grakchawwaa/Legends|Grakchawwaa]] to make the right decision. He was on the verge of agreeing to join the Confederacy out of self-preservation, when news came that his son, [[Prince/Legends|Prince]] [[Rikummee]], had accidentally been killed by the droids. In anger he allied himself with the Republic, ultimately forcing the Separatists to mount a massive invasion in the closing stages of the war.
[[File:Kashyyyk_trees.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The towering trees and long sandy beaches of Kashyyyk]]
In [[19 BBY/Legends|19 BBY]], a [[Mission to Kashyyyk (Clone Wars)|rescue mission]] led by [[Jedi General/Legends|Jedi General]] [[Etain Tur-Mukan]] and [[RC-1138/Legends|RC-1138]], was in the process to rescue Chieftain [[Tarfful/Legends|Tarfful]] held captive by [[Trandoshan/Legends|Trandoshans]].<ref name="RC books">Republic Commando novels</ref> The mission was carried out by [[Commando/Legends|Commandos]] of the [[Delta Squad/Legends|Delta Squad]], who increasingly found more separatist collaborationist among the neighboring Trandoshans than they thought, including [[General/Legends|General]] [[Grievous/Legends|Grievous]].<ref name="SW:RC">''[[Star Wars: Republic Commando]]''</ref> In response, the Republic dispatched a task force led by [[Jedi Master/Legends|Master]] [[Yoda/Legends|Yoda]] and [[Clone trooper commander|Clone Commander]] [[CC-1004/Legends|Gree]] to defend Kashyyyk. At the coastal city of [[Kachirho/Legends|Kachirho]], a combined force of [[Clone trooper/Legends|clone troopers]] and Wookiees fought against the Separatist droid invaders, with Yoda himself participating in the battle. Despite the overwhelming Separatist forces, the Republic and the Wookiees emerged victorious from the [[Battle of Kashyyyk/Legends|Battle of Kashyyyk]], though taking very heavy casualties.<ref name="ROTS" /> Not long afterward, the secretly married Jedi couple of [[Kento Marek|Kento]] and [[Mallie Marek]] took refuge on Kashyyyk, and the pregnant Mallie gave birth to [[Galen Marek|Galen]] on Kashyyyk.<ref name="TFU">''[[Star Wars: The Force Unleashed]]''</ref>

===Galactic Empire and slavery===
{{Quote|I want every Wookiee flushed out of hiding, even if it means burning the forests to the ground!|[[Anakin Skywalker/Legends|Darth Vader]]|<ref name="DL">''[[Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader]]''</ref>}}
[[File:Kashyyykdarktimes.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Imperial forces attack a Wookiee city.]]
However, victory was short-lived for the Wookiees. With the [[Declaration of a New Order|rise]] of the [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Galactic Empire]], the [[Jedi/Legends|Jedi]] were branded enemies of the Republic/Empire as [[Supreme Chancellor/Legends|Supreme Chancellor]] [[Palpatine/Legends|Palpatine]], secretly Darth Sidious, made himself [[Galactic Emperor/Legends|Emperor]] and initiated [[Order 66/Legends|Order 66]]. The clone troopers then [[Battle of Kashyyyk (19 BBY)|took control]] of Kashyyyk, killing [[Luminara Unduli/Legends|Luminara Unduli]], sending [[Quinlan Vos/Legends|Quinlan Vos]] into hiding, and forcing [[Yoda/Legends|Yoda]] to kill [[CC-1004/Legends|Gree]] and discreetly escape from the battle on a [[Can-cell/Legends|Can-cell]]. Later Yoda escaped the planet, with the help of [[Tarfful/Legends|Tarfful]] and Chewbacca via a former Republic [[Escape pod/Legends|escape pod]].<ref name="ROTS" /> The Empire was quick to suppress Kashyyyk by renaming it "Wookiee Planet C" (as it was the third orbit in its [[Kashyyyk system/Legends|system]]) and placed it under martial law.

Several months later, a group of Jedi including [[Olee Starstone]] went to Kashyyyk to search for the other Jedi who had been there. The Empire, led by [[Anakin Skywalker/Legends|Darth Vader]], tracked them and attacked the planet. In response, the Wookiees rebelled against their oppressors, but were ultimately unsuccessful. Clone troopers attempted to land, but many were shot down by abandoned Confederate weaponry utilized by the Wookiees. Darth Vader landed and killed two Jedi before being stopped by Master [[Roan Shryne]], who also died at Vader's hand. The orbital fleet bombarded the planet, causing severe damage on the surface. Wookiees either escaped into the undergrowth or into space, where they were stopped by a [[Detainer CC-2200 interdictor cruiser]]. Starstone had [[Slicer/Legends|slicer]] [[Filli Bitters]] slice into an abandoned CIS ship and crash it into the interdictor cruiser. Many refugees escaped, including Starstone and her Jedi friends, Filli and his smuggling group, and Chewbacca. The Empire occupied the planet, allowing then-[[Moff/Legends|Moff]] [[Wilhuff Tarkin/Legends|Wilhuff Tarkin]], one of the Imperial commanders that participated in the battle, to capture and export Wookiees as slave labor to [[Despayre]], in order to help construct the [[DS-1 Orbital Battle Station/Legends|First Death Star]].<ref name="DL" />

In [[18 BBY/Legends|18 BBY]], [[Mallie Marek]] was killed by the remnant of the [[Battle droid/Legends|droids]] and [[Trandoshan/Legends|Trandoshans]] from the [[Battle of Kashyyyk/Legends|battle a year prior]]. Almost immediately, her death caused [[Palpatine/Legends|Palpatine]] to sense [[Kento Marek|Kento's]] presence on Kashyyyk, thus he sent [[Anakin Skywalker/Legends|Vader]] to [[Battle of Kashyyyk (c. 18 BBY)|eliminate]] him. Vader and his troops met heavy resistance from the local Wookiee population, but ultimately the [[501st Legion/Legends|501st Legion]] succeeded in crushing the uprising. During the battle, Vader bested and killed Kento Marek. Upon discovering his opponent's son [[Galen Marek]], whom he found to be extremely powerful in the [[The Force/Legends|Force]], Vader exterminated all witnesses, including the [[Unidentified Imperial commander (Kashyyyk)|stormtrooper commander]], and went on to train the boy as his secret [[Sith apprentice/Legends|apprentice]].<ref name="TFU" />

During the occupation, Kashyyyk was opened by the Imperial authorities to slavers from neighboring [[Trandosha/Legends|Trandosha]] and [[Mytaranor]]. At the advice of the Trandoshans, the Empire began using the powerful Wookiees to carry out slave labor. Wookiee captives were used for countless Imperial projects, including the [[Maw Installation]]. However, because of their devotion to their homeworld, many Wookiees would evade the Imperial garrison there to revisit their beloved forests for important Wookiee holidays such as [[Life Day/Legends|Life Day]].

In [[2 BBY/Legends|2 BBY]], Princess [[Leia Organa Solo|Leia Organa]] of [[Alderaan/Legends|Alderaan]] was secretly sent by Emperor Palpatine to be held as a hostage on the planet, in order to keep her [[Bail Prestor Organa/Legends|adoptive father]] from speaking out against the Empire. Leia was placed under custody of the local commander, Captain [[Ozzik Sturn]], who used to hunt Wookiees for sport, and confined in her private quarters. Eventually, she was [[Mission to Kashyyyk (Great Jedi Purge)|rescued]] by Galen Marek, himself on a mission by Jedi Master [[Rahm Kota]] to track down Bail Organa. Leia promised to reveal the location of her father, but only if Galen was able to destroy a [[Skyhook/Legends|skyhook]], which was [[Skyhook (Kashyyyk)|designed]] to transfer Wookiees offworld for slave labor. Galen headed to the construction site, slaying Captain Sturn and destroying the skyhook. According to Galen however, "the Empire would just rebuild it." Grateful for Galen's heroic deeds, Leia informed him that Bail had journeyed to [[Felucia/Legends|Felucia]], causing a chain of events that culminated in the signing of the [[Corellian Treaty]].<ref name="TFU" />

Later, after Marek's [[Battle on Death Star I|death]] at the hands of Emperor Palpatine, Leia Organa met with Bail Organa, [[Mon Mothma/Legends|Mon Mothma]], [[Garm Bel Iblis/Legends|Garm Bel Iblis]], Rahm Kota, [[Juno Eclipse]] and [[PROXY]]. In which they formed the [[Alliance to Restore the Republic/Legends|Rebel Alliance]]. Leia picked a [[Alliance Starbird|symbol]] for the Alliance, the symbol of the Marek family, in a tribute to Galen Marek, his family and his [[Galactic Civil War/Legends|victories]] against the Empire.<ref name="Rage" />

[[1 ABY/Legends|One year]] after the [[Battle of Yavin/Legends|destruction]] of the first [[DS-1 Orbital Battle Station/Legends|Death Star]], Kashyyyk had been subjected to a long [[Blockade of Kashyyyk (1 ABY)|orbital blockade]]. Darth Vader ordered a door-to-door curfew in order to apprehend every Rebel, eventually hoping to get his hands on the crew of the [[Millennium Falcon/Legends|''Millennium Falcon'']]. However, the Imperials were defeated by [[Lumpawaroo/Legends|Lumpawaroo]] on [[Rwookrrorro/Legends|Rwookrrorro]], and subsequently, the Wookiees, along with the local Alliance members, celebrated [[Life Day/Legends|Life Day]].<ref name="Holiday Special" /> During the blockade, the Rebel Alliance attempted to liberate the planet but its invasion force was [[Rebel Invasion of Kashyyyk|ambushed]] by the Empire and totally destroyed in Kashyyyk space.<ref name="SWG:DyD">{{SWGcite|exp=RotW|type=faction|Imperial|Doing your duty, phase IV|Kashyyyk}}</ref>

Moff [[Hindane Darcc/Legends|Hindane Darcc]], the Imperial governor of Kashyyyk who ruled the planet from his private [[Darcc's Palace|palace]], forged a pact with the Trandoshan slaver [[Pekt]], appointing him to oversee the entire slaving operation. They had finally installed [[Avatar Orbital Platform]] in orbit of the planet, to help further enslavement of the Wookiees.<ref name="Rage" />

===The New Republic===
After the [[Battle of Endor/Legends|Battle of Endor]], the Wookiees were freed from slavery by the [[Alliance of Free Planets]]. The [[Nagai]] then attempted to enslave the species, but they were repulsed by the [[New Republic/Legends|New Republic]].
However, the Wookiees' freedom was short-lived. The Empire, having licked its wounds, quickly reestablished a presence on Kashyyyk and enslaved the Wookiees once more. Around [[5 ABY/Legends|5 ABY]] [[Han Solo/Legends|Han Solo]] and Chewbacca assisted in inciting a [[Liberation of Kashyyyk (Galactic Civil War)|revolution]] among the populace, helped in part by [[Lando Calrissian/Legends|Lando Calrissian]], [[Rogue Squadron/Legends|Rogue Squadron]],<ref name="Rage" /> and Admiral [[Gial Ackbar/Legends|Gial Ackbar]]. Governor Darcc, Pekt and [[Grand Admiral/Legends|Grand Admiral]] [[Peccati Syn]] were killed during the battle.

Kashyyyk was represented in the [[New Republic Senate/Legends|New Republic Senate]] by [[Kerrithrarr]], and the planet became a key signatory and member world of the [[Inner Council (New Republic)|Inner Council]]. The planet also welcomed trade, and its city of [[Thikkiiana City/Legends|Thikkiiana]] became a major exporter of computer technology. However, this made it a target of the agents of the [[Second Imperium]] in [[23 ABY/Legends|23 ABY]]. A task force under [[Zekk]] raided Thikkiiana's computer stores for use by the Second Imperium in its [[Second Imperium Crisis|Post]]-[[Galactic Civil War/Legends|Galactic Civil War]] against the New Republic.

===Galactic Alliance===
During the [[Yuuzhan Vong War]], Kashyyyk would be an important member world of the New Republic and, later, the [[Galactic Federation of Free Alliances|Galactic Alliance]]. After the [[Battle of Yuuzhan'tar]] at the end of the Yuuzhan Vong occupation, celebrations took place on Kashyyyk.

====Second Galactic Civil War====
[[File:LukeInferno.jpg|thumb|left|210px|Kashyyyk burns during the [[Battle of Kashyyyk (Second Galactic Civil War)|Battle of Kashyyyk]].]]
It later refused to follow [[Chief of State (Galactic Alliance)|Chief of State]] [[Darth Caedus|Jacen Solo]] in the year [[40 ABY]], sheltering the [[Jedi/Legends|Jedi]], who had declared themselves against Solo, so it was [[Battle of Kashyyyk (Second Galactic Civil War)|attacked]] by his fleet as a result. Solo's flagship, the [[Anakin Solo (Imperial II-class Star Destroyer)|''Anakin Solo'']], began targeting the Kashyyyk forests with its long-range turbolasers, starting a firestorm that would claim the lives of many Wookiees and burn huge amounts of forest. The [[Confederation]] redirected fleets from the [[Battle of Kuat (Second Galactic Civil War)|Battle of Kuat]] to help the Wookiees, resulting in the eventual defeat of the Galactic Alliance forces, although they managed to escape, due to a tactical blunder by the Confederation Fleet. As a result, Kashyyyk joined the [[Jedi Coalition]], though it did not join the [[Confederation]].<ref name="Inferno" />

===Second Imperial Civil War===
Following its take over of the Galactic Alliance in [[130 ABY]], [[Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire]] saw danger in Wookiees, but knew better than to enslave the entire species like it did as Darth Sidious' Galactic Empire. Instead it cut them off from the rest of the galaxy by having Kashyyyk blockaded and all Wookiee spaceports and shipyards destroyed. No Wookiees were allowed to leave or visit Kashyyyk without an Imperial order and [[HoloNet/Legends|HoloNet]] transmissions to the planet were completely cut off. Supplies and traders still could come and go, after swearing under penalty of death to the Empire not to provide Wookiees with information of the state of the rest of [[The galaxy/Legends|the galaxy]], but the Wookiees themselves were completely isolated and largely left alone throughout the region.<ref name="LECG">''[[Legacy Era Campaign Guide]]''</ref>

==Behind the scenes==
[[File:House_exterior_rmq.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Tree-house concept art by [[Ralph McQuarrie]] used in ''[[The Star Wars Holiday Special]]'']]
The original drafts of [[Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi|''Return of the Jedi'']] called for the [[Death Star II/Legends|second Death Star]] to be built in orbit around Kashyyyk by Wookiee slave labor. It wasn't until later drafts that the setting and characters were changed to the forest moon of [[Endor/Legends|Endor]] and [[Ewok/Legends|Ewoks]].

The planet was introduced in [[1978]] in ''[[The Star Wars Holiday Special]]'' and was finally realized on the big screen in [[2005]] in [[Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith|''Star Wars'': Episode III ''Revenge of the Sith'']]. [[Wikipedia:Phuket|Phuket]] in [[Wikipedia:Thailand|Thailand]] and [[Wikipedia:Guilin|Guilin]] in [[Wikipedia:China|China]] were the locations scouted for ''Revenge of the Sith'', to capture plate photography for Kashyyyk backdrops. In the former, the planet when used as backgrounds was simply reused from the matte painting of [[Yavin Prime/Legends|Yavin Prime]] from [[Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope|''Star Wars'']] (as it was known at the time), albeit tinted green.<ref name="concept art">[http://www.starwarsholidayspecial.com/photos/art.htm Concept art] on the Star Wars Holiday Special website</ref>

In ''[[The Wookiee Storybook]]'', [[Attichitcuk/Legends|Attichitcuk]] tells [[Lumpawaroo/Legends|Lumpawarrump]] that Wookiees are not Kashyyyk natives, that they immigrated to Kashyyyk from an unspecified planet centuries before. Later sources say that Wookiees are native to Kashyyyk. It's possible Attichitcuk was merely spinning an entertaining yarn for his grandson rather than stating something he believed to be factual.

[[File:Kashyyyk_TEA.jpg|thumb|250px|Kashyyyk]]
When author [[Timothy Zahn]] included the Wookiee homeworld in his novel ''[[Heir to the Empire]]'', he intended to name it "Rwookrrorro," unaware that it had already been named. Upon learning that it was named Kashyyyk, Zahn suggested "Rwookrrorro" could be the indigenous name for the planet, but this idea was rejected. Zahn used the name instead for a specific city on Kashyyyk.<ref name="HTTE20">[[Heir to the Empire|''Heir to the Empire 20th Anniversary Edition'']]</ref>

Some believe there is a contradiction between the portrayal of Kashyyyk in the [[Star Wars Legends|Expanded Universe]] and its portrayal in ''Revenge of the Sith''. While the former (in pre-''Revenge'' works) portrayed Kashyyyk as a planet with inhabitants living only in trees and never descending to the ground, the latter portrays the planet as having oceans and coasts, with its inhabitants living on the ground. This alleged contradiction could be easily explained in that ''Revenge of the Sith'' only showed a small part of the planet, and that it doesn't necessarily represent the layout of the entire planet. Additionally, ''[[Rebel Dawn]]'' mentions that Kashyyyk has coasts.

The PC game [[Star Wars: Rebellion (video game)|''Star Wars: Rebellion'']] mistakenly places Kashyyyk in the [[Sumitra sector]] of the [[Outer Rim Territories/Legends|Outer Rim]].

===Spelling===
The 1978 ''Star Wars Holiday Special'' provides no spelling for the planet's name, though its shooting script spells it "Kazzook,"<ref>[http://www.starwarsholidayspecial.com/text/script.htm ''The Star Wars Holiday Special'' fourth draft script], September 13, 1978, page 43</ref> and it is pronounced in the show as that spelling would suggest (see [[#Pronunciation|next section]]). In 1979, an [[The Kashyyyk Depths|untitled newspaper comic story arc]] (later dubbed ''The Kashyyyk Depths'') that took place on this planet called it both "Kazhyyyk"<ref>''[[The Kashyyyk Depths]]'', August 12, 1979 episode</ref> and "Kazhyyk."<ref>''The Kashyyyk Depths'', August 26, 1979 episode</ref> Later that year, ''The Wookiee Storybook'' spelled the planet "Kashyyyk," which has been used ever since, with only a couple of exceptions, such as the Super Nintendo ''[[Super Star Wars]]'' games, where Chewbacca is listed to have come from "Kazhyyyk."

===Pronunciation===
{{Quote|I don't remember the name&mdash;something with too many K's and Y's. Sounds like you're gargling [[Ronto/Legends|ronto]] spit when you say it.|[[Mira]]|<ref name="Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords">''[[Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords]]''</ref>}}
''Kashyyyk'' has been [[Wikipedia:International Phonetic Alphabet for English|pronounced]] many different ways. In its first appearance in ''The Star Wars Holiday Special'', it was pronounced /kəˈzuk/. In the video games ''[[Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic]]'' and ''[[Star Wars: Republic Commando]]'', among others, it is pronounced /'kæʃɨk/. The G-[[canon]] pronunciation, heard in [[Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith|''Star Wars'': Episode III ''Revenge of the Sith'']], is /kəˈʃik/. This pronunciation is also heard in ''[[Star Wars: Empire at War]]''. ''[[Star Wars: Battlefront II]]''{{'s}} pronunciation is essentially a combination of the previous two, /kæˈʃik/, but this could be because of the troopers' accents.
