Aduba-3
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the fictional Star Wars universe, Aduba-3 or Aduba III was a planet in the Aduba system with three million inhabitants and a starport. It was mostly covered by desert and plains. Most of the plant life on Aduba-3 grew thorns as forms of protection.
In 1,010 BBY, a Sith Lord created the Behemoth from the World Below on the planet.
Followers of the Sacred Way colonized the planet in 500 BBY, building small farming villages. Their main crops were maze-stalk and mizzlegritch moss.
Greedy speculators from the Modirin Mining Concern came to the planet and caused a chromium rush by way of mine-seeding. When traders realized there was no fortune to be had on Aduba-3, it lost any appeal it might have had and began to disappear from star charts. However, it did become a haven for down-and-out spacers. After the mining concern failed, the Jedi Agricultural Corps helped the farmers defend their villages from vicious high-hounds.
Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Han Solo and his companions, the Star-Hoppers, faced Serji-X Arrogantus and his Cloud-Riders in defense of Onacra, but the Old One, a local shaman, awoke the dormant Behemoth. Solo killed the Behemoth with Don-Wan Kihotay's lightsaber. The bounty hunter Beilert Valance came to the planet seeking to kill Jimm Doshun, whom he mistakenly believed to be the destroyer of the Death Star I. Jaxxon and Amaiza Foxtrain saved Jimm.
