- "Welcome to Boz Pity...I read it's some sort of graveyard planet. But the size of the memorials..."

[edit] History
Known as the "Graveyard World" for its impressive collection of large graves and towering ruins of a long forgotten civilization, Boz Pity was thought by some xenoarchaeologists to have once been home to a species of gigantic proportions.
During the Clone Wars, Boz Pity was used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems as a staging area for Coreward assaults. As such, it was a prime target for the Galactic Republic during the Outer Rim Sieges. [1]
The Battle of Boz Pity occurred alongside Obi-Wan Kenobi's obsessive search for Asajj Ventress, whereupon Obi-Wan rendezvoused with Mace Windu's strike team onboard Intervention. Anakin Skywalker made a hard landing on the planet's surface, and the Jedi soon came into contact with General Grievous's forces.[1]
Victory was eventually achieved by the Republic forces, but at a heavy toll, including the death of Jedi Masters Soon Baytes and Adi Gallia[1]. Following the Siege of Saleucami, Quinlan Vos was assigned to Boz Pity to take command of the clone troopers staged there[2]. He later joined Yoda on Kashyyyk for the Battle of Kachirho.
During the early Galactic Civil War, the Rebel Alliance considered basing themselves on Boz Pity, but chose Yavin 4 instead.
However, after the loss of the Yavin base after the Battle of Yavin and the recovery of a lost list of replacement planets put together by Bail Organa, Boz Pity was made the new base. Unfortunately the bounty hunter Boba Fett was able to place a tracker on a Rebel's (namely Ackbar's) R2 unit during a previous mission, leading the Empire to attack the new base mere hours after the Alliance's Renegade Squadron had arrived themselves. It was only due to the actions of the Renegade Squadron that a major disaster was averted.[3]
