HistoryEdit

From a distance, the planet seemed to be surrounded by five rings of fire. The rings were actually large solar prominences that encircled the planet, attracted to it by its close proximity to the system's star. The Fire Rings were one of the natural wonders of the galaxy and not only attracted tourists wanting to view their beauty, but also daredevil young pilots who risked their lives to fly through the Rings. One such pilot was a young Han Solo.

The sideorder dish fiery Fornax rings was named after the planet's rings.^[4]
