Bonadan

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

Bonadan was chief port world of the Corporate Sector and the primary world in the Bonadan system. It was a strip-mined planet at the end of the Hydian Way. Bonadan Heavy Industries was presumably located there. This densely populated planet housed many exotic species from around the galaxy. Bonadanians found off-world are either from wealthy corporate families or those that have escaped the life of corporate servitude.

[edit] Geography

Its yellow, parched surface was heavily eroded, and its topsoil had been destroyed due to constant drilling and construction. The remaining surface was covered with factories, refineries, docks, and shipbuilding facilities in ten spaceports, the largest being Bonadan Spaceport Southeast II.

A massive weather-control station lay in the mountains to the north of the main cities; they were used to generate sweeper storms that cleaned the polluted air. Weapons were banned on Bonadan, and being caught by one of the omnipresent weapons detectors was grounds for immediate arrest. Newcomers were thoroughly scanned before landing.

From space, Bonadan was a yellow sphere covered with rust-red strips. It looked barren and parched, for whatever plant life not killed deliberately died due to careless mining operations, abundant pollutants, and simple neglect. The Bonadanian tortapo was one of the last surviving fauna on this planet.

The once-beautiful landscape was scorched and barren from years of strip-mining, pollution, and mismanagement.

[edit] History

In the early years of the Galactic Civil War, Bonadan was under the control of the Galactic Empire. The Imperials then set up a supply commerce consisting of several cargo containers being readied for shipment by CT-11 space tugs. Two BFF-1 bulk freighters, Deddite and Banthar were to pick up the cargo and deliver them to the Imperial fleet. However two Y-wings arrived and destroyed the containers and the two freighters before the Imperial Nebulon-B escort frigate Enforcer could arrive.

Despite a claim of neutrality during the Yuuzhan Vong Invasion, representatives of the Corporate Sector were bought off by the alien invaders.

The Bonadan Cough was a contagious virus that originated from Bonadan and caused the sufferer to have a hoarse cough and deep fatigue.^[2]
