Endor system

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

The Endor system was home to the gas giant Endor, about which the Forest Moon of Endor orbited. It was located in the Moddell Sector of the Outer Rim Territories at the end of the Sanctuary Pipeline. Claw Station was in the system.

[edit] History

The system was rarely traveled because the gas giant exerted complex gravitational forces on hyperspace lanes, and star-charts contained little helpful information for navigating the sector. Due to its remote location, the Galactic Empire chose to build the second Death Star in the system.

In 4 ABY, it famously became known as the site of the Battle of Endor.

[edit] Behind the scenes

"Endor" is the Hebrew name of a city of ancient Canaan mentioned in the Bible. Other planets in the Endor system have similar names (Dor and Megiddo) as does the system's star (Ibleam).
