- "One does not breathe the air here, one drinks it."
- ―Fliry Vorru
Thyferra was a hot, humid planet located in the Polith system on the Rimma Trade Route, on which most of the galaxy's bacta was produced. It was also a major political power as bacta production was an essential commodity.
Characteristics
Thyferra, in the Inner Rim's Polith system at galactic coordinates L-14,[3] was the homeworld of the Vratix people.[9] Approximately half of the planet's surface was covered by the alazhi bacteria, while most of the other half was covered by rainforest.[source?]
History
The Vratix had already colonized many celestial bodies in the Polith system when they were in first contact with the Galactic Republic around 4100 BBY.

Since the Vratix had discovered how to create bacta from alazhi and kavam, the planet became an important Republic world, drawing profit-hungry human colonists. The Vratix shared the secret of bacta production with their Human neighbors, who eventually gained control of the bacta industry and hired many of the natives as workers in their bacta plants.
Eventually, Thyferra was almost completely controlled by two Human-run corporations: Zaltin and Xucphra. These two corporations were chosen by Emperor Palpatine to supply the Empire's bacta, thus eliminating any real competition in the bacta market.

The Rebel Alliance's bacta supply on the planet was a target set by Moff Kohl Seerdon. Around 1 ABY, after setting a diversion on Sullust, he invaded the planet, sending AT-STs and TIE interceptors to prevent Alliance bacta from reaching the group. However, the plot was thwarted by Rogue Squadron, and Seerdon was killed[6] after engaging Luke Skywalker in a dogfight.
Thyferra was liberated by the New Republic in 5 ABY.[3] However, the New Republic didn't settle on the planet which stayed officially neutral in the war. Thyferra was in fact in trouble due to significant tensions between Humans and Vratix and between the Xucphra and Zaltin Corporation.[10]
In 7 ABY, Ysanne Isard backed a coup that saw a pro-Imperial faction taking over Thyferra. The faction later elected her head of state, allowing her to remain in lawful power, eliminate the Zaltin, control the bacta industry, and start a small but important conflict known as the Bacta War. During the Battle of Thyferra, Rogue Squadron and its allies, operating at the time independent from the New Republic—which for political reasons could not directly interfere—liberated Thyferra from the Empire and imperial loyalists using guerrilla tactics, pluck, and native allies.[9]
Behind the scenes
The planet Thyferra first appeared in the article "The Business of Bacta", and then in the X-Wing novel series. A battle takes place on the planet in the Imperial campaign of the 2006 video game Star Wars: Empire at War.
