Background: Duroon was a planet in Corporate Sector visited by Han Solo in 2 BBY.
During the Cold War, a Sarlacc that had died of disease was pulled above ground to have its stomach searched for antiquities.
During the Clone Wars, the planet was located within Separatist space.
The planet was governed by the Corporate Sector Authority (CSA) and was well within “steer clear territory.” As such, the Sector Police did not take well to the smuggler’s illegal activities in the system.
The planet held a single central Corporate Sector Authority military installation. Captain Solo attempted to evade the Authority’s sensors by flying over a vast, active volcanic fissure on the planet’s opposite side. Solo also used the planet’s mountainous terrain to escape when pursued by a heavily-armed CSA warship. Duroon was also home to lush jungles full of twenty-meter-high plants that resembled ferns. Duroon had three moons.
This warm and foggy planet had no native sentient life, but it did contain an atmosphere suitable for most humanoid species and was home to a diverse array of exotic native creatures. According to the recollections of Captain Solo, these included strange “lacy white things” that resembled “flying dollies” and “swam through the air with ripples of their thin bodies.” He also reported sighting a small, green, spheroid creature that navigated its way through the jungle by bouncing on its smooth form, extruding an eye-bump when needing to view its surrounding.
