Corbos

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

Corbos was an Outer Rim Territories planet near the Yavin system which was rich in ores. It had "Black Rain Seasons" which saw whole sections of the planet become uninhabitable due to massive thunderstorms.

[edit] History

In 6,900 BBY it was the site of the Battle of Corbos, the end of the Hundred-Year Darkness. The Dark Jedi lost this battle and abandoned their Force-mutated Leviathans. In the succeeding millennia, every few centuries a group of colonists would attempt to settle Corbos, each time being wiped out by Leviathans, leaving their disappearance a mystery to the galaxy.

In 12 ABY an experimental mining colony of 793 miners and their families established Corbos Mining City, but were also wiped out by Leviathans. In turn, a group of Jedi (Kyp Durron, Dorsk 82, Streen, and Kirana Ti) arrived on the world and put an end to their menace.

Several archelogical teams visited the planet in the following years, but they didn't report any Leviathan. Some of the creatures may survived underground, but there is no proof. Colonist and miners continued to avoid the planet.^[1]
