Background: Dagobah was a planet in the Sluis sector of the Outer Rim Territories. It was a hot and humid world that had a lot of life. The planet was mysterious, mist-shrouded, and swampy, primarily covered in swamps and bogs, with countless shallow lakes, lagoons, and multiple living caves. It shared a mysterious time-related quality with such locales as Mortis and Ahch-To. Dagobah’s continental and oceanic crusts were only vaguely defined, with little volcanic activity or earthquakes. Dagobah was home to many creatures, such as bogwings, dragonsnakes, butcherbugs, sleens, vine snakes, and swamp slugs. Examples of flora included the lahdia plant, the yoghurt plant, gnarltree, and yarum seed. The planet had two seasons: a dry season and a wet season. During the peak of the long dry season (over half an orbit after the rains end), the uplands become too hot for most lifeforms to survive. It necessitated anyone who lived there to migrate to the lower lands. The lowlands, once inundated, revert to a marshy swamp once again under the rapidly leafing canopies of the gnarltrees that emerge from the receding green and thick waters. As the air grows more humid, the gray overcast clouds return. Before another quarter orbit passes, the planet is far enough away from its sun that the dry season ends and the rains return, again flooding the lowlands and covering the trees in water, making the uplands habitable once more. There were no advanced or indigenous civilizations of sentients on Dagobah.
