Background: Numidian Prime was a jungle planet on the edge of the galaxy’s Mid Rim, known for being a haven for smugglers and thieves, such as the bounty hunter Shenda Mol, who operated a stronghold on the planet. During the Imperial Era, the future smuggler Han Solo won the Millennium Falcon from the gambler Lando Calrissian on Numidian Prime.
Located on the edge of the galaxy’s Mid Rim, in grid square L-7 on the Standard Galactic Grid, Numidian Prime was a warm and beautiful jungle planet, though it also had swamp terrain. The terrestrial planet had a breathable atmosphere and a comfortable environment for human habitation, making it an exotic resort destination. Apart from the dense plant life, it was also inhabited by a species of birds.
During the High Republic Era, Axel Greylark spent two days in a jungle on Numidian Prime before his mother, Kyong Greylark, transmitted a ransom for him.
During the time of the Galactic Republic, the bounty hunter Shenda Mol had a stronghold and several followers on Numidian Prime. The Jedi Dooku and Qui-Gon Jinn, as part of a strike team, tracked her to the stronghold, apprehending both Mol and her followers and imprisoning her on the planet Stygeon Prime.
The card game sabacc had rules based on Numidian Prime, and the gambler Lando Calrissian once held a winning hand according to them. Calrissian also won a disabler device while playing cards on Numidian Prime.
Following a mission undertaken by the crew of Tobias Beckett for the Crimson Dawn crime syndicate, in which Calrissian had been hired for the use of his starship, the Millennium Falcon, the gambler abandoned Beckett’s gang on Savareen, visiting Numidian Prime. Two former members of Beckett’s crew, Han Solo and Chewbacca, eventually made their way to the planet, where Solo won the Millennium Falcon from Calrissian in a game of sabacc.
Between 3 ABY and 4 ABY, the Jedi Luke Skywalker traveled to Numidian Prime along with the astromech droid R2-D2 in search of a temple there. After being unable to find it, Skywalker encountered Doctor Chelli Aphra, who captured Skywalker as a means to recruit the Jedi for a mission.
Criminals who were trying to avoid outstanding debts were known to hide on Numidian Prime. The Falleen bounty hunter Shenda Mol resided on the planet and had several followers there.
