Ko Vari was a planet colonized by the Hutts prior to the establishment of the Galactic Republic. It had a prospering population until decimated first by Xim the Despot and later by the Great Sith War. The planet never entirely recovered from these catastrophes.

The planet did see a rise in prosperity, however, a few millennia prior to the Galactic Civil War, with the establishment of the Boonta Speeder Race. Realizing that Humans could not participate in the podracing of Tatooine, Yenchara the Hutt of the Desilijic kajidic saw the opportunity for increasing profits on Boonta's Eve by founding the Speeder Race on Ko Vari, which he renamed Boonta after Boonta the Hutt, the hero which the holiday celebrated.

The establishment of the Speeder Race attracted Human colonists and led to other extreme sports, such as the annual Zed'hoffa Orbital Diving Competition over the Living Pits.

Years later, Jord Dusat, Kea Moll, and Thall Joben of Ingo won the Boonta Speeder Race with White Witch, despite opposition from the Fromm Gang and Boba Fett, whom Sise Fromm had hired to kill the young racers.

The planet Boonta was orbited by a scrapyard which served as a graveyard for damaged starships. A plumbing supply plant was on the furthest south of the three continents. The planet was on the other side of Annoo opposite Ingo. It was the fourth of seven planets in the Dernatine system of Hutt Space in the Outer Rim.
