Aquaris

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

Aquaris was a planet in the Expansion Region. Due to a natural disaster, its native sapients, the Chuhkyvi, were evacuated by a benevolent alien species to Iskalon in 5,000 BBY. It was an ocean-covered planet without any landmasses. It was the headquarters of the Freeholders, who joined the Rebel Alliance.

The Freeholders inhabited an expansive underwater base accessible through a retractable surface landing platform, and piloted submersible aqua-skimmers when hunting the planet's marine wildlife.

Among the most dangerous aquatic creatures in Aquaris' oceans were the enormous demonsquid, which were eight-tentacled mollusks with large jaws beneath a clump of arms. The gnooroop traveled in dense schools that could stretch up to ten kilometers long.
