Background: Bogano was a grassy planet in the Outer Rim Territories. It was largely unexplored during the time of the Imperial Era and could not be found on any maps. The world was primarily comprised of flat, grassy plains, broken up by massive ravines and sinkholes made of limestone and clay. There were also water-filled caves beneath the thin surface layer.
Long before the Imperial Era, Bogano was an important world to the Zeffonian species, due to the revered Binog, an amphi-mammalian creature native to the planet. The Zeffo built a Vault on Bogano that was protected by the Force.
Before the Great Jedi Purge, Jedi Master Eno Cordova discovered the planet, building a workshop there. Cal Kestis was brought to the planet by Cere Junda to unlock the secrets of the Bogano Vault in hopes of rebuilding the Jedi Order.
Kestis eventually returned to the planet and used the astrium, an ancient Zeffo artifact that he had acquired from Dathomir, to unlock the Vault. He was followed by the Second Sister who stole the holocron and escaped. Several squads of stormtroopers were defeated by Kestis on the planet, meaning that the Galactic Empire had found Bogano.
During the Galactic Civil War, Princess Leia Organa visited the world to find out if Bogano could host a base for the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Immediately upon her arrival, she found her friend and fellow rebel Luke Skywalker. Leia asked why he was there and not checking out other planets. Luke said the Force took him there, and the two analyzed the planet together. The two found a small animal that led them to the Bogano Vault. Luke felt the Force was strong in the place, and although Leia thought the world might be a good base, Luke disagreed. Luke was proven correct soon thereafter, as the small animal led the two to a group of stormtroopers who were dealing with several animals of the same species. The stormtroopers intended to sell the animals on the black market, but Luke and Leia defeated the Imperial troops after a clash and saved the animals before leaving the planet.
Bogano was visited by by SF-R3 and CAM in order to find a Bogling during the New Republic Era.
