Description

Kirdo III was located within a star system in the Tamarin sector of the Outer Rim Territories region of the galaxy,^[1] situated on the Sanrafsix Corridor between Sevarcos and Ma'ar Shaddam.^[2] Its surface consisted of barren, sandy desert,^[5] oceans of red, cracked mud, and escarpments of yellow-orange hills,^[4] with quicksand and caves also present.^[5] It had an arid climate^[3] and winds often blew at speeds of 400-kilometers-per-hour^[5] or more.^[3] Rainfall occurred once a decade, and when it came it lasted several days, forming lakes and filling dry riverbeds. Herds of migrating chooba grazed on sulfaro plants and were hunted by the Kitonaks, a primitive sentient species native to the planet.^[5]

History

Kirdo III was discovered by scouts a few decades before the rise of the Galactic Empire. A number of slave traders targeted the Kitonaks.^[3] The Eye of Palpatine stopped at the planet and, failing to find the stormtroopers it was looking for, took onboard a number of Kitonaks whom it tried (with little success) to brainwash into being Imperials.^[7]
