Adsila Rifts
The Adsila Rifts, also known as the Adsila Ridges, were an area of geological instability in the Doaba Badlands on the planet Socorro. The area was known for sand wells, volcanoes, and groundquakes. Rifts crisscrossed the area, with some twenty kilometers deep and leading to underground lava chambers. Subterranean plates would shift to expose and seal the rifts.[1]
During the initial colonization of Socorro, one of the colony ships was forced to deviate from their proposed landing site, and landed in the area that would become known as the Adsila Rifts. Several weeks after landing, contact with the settlers was lost. Scout Kirr Cyrs investigated the area and found evidence of the seismic instability in the area. The settlers attributed the settlement's loss to a sand well.[1]
The area was named after Adsila, a woman from Old Corellian mythology who controlled the inevitable dissension and uncertainty of life. The Nhar'qual Rift was one of the most famous rifts, and was rumored to be bottomless.[1]
