CharacteristicsEdit

Kachirho was located on the Wawaatt Archipelago.

The city spiraled around the trunk of a 984-foot high wroshyr tree that sat in front of a large blue fresh-water lagoon. At the gates of the tree city, a carved archway read in Wookiee script -- Come in peace to our Home Tree Vikkilynn.

As the home to the Claatuvac Guild, it was the Wookiee center of hyperspace mapping.^[1]

HistoryEdit

The leader of the city at the time of the Clone Wars was the Wookiee Tarfful, who had served for over a Human lifetime, roughly 100 years. The Claatuvac Guild was also based here.

In 19 BBY, the Delta Squad of Republic commandos was inserted to beat back a large scale CIS assault on the bridge. The commandos fought through large market halls and Wookiee hangars containing "balloons", and used four two-barreled cannons located in Kachirho to fire at a Recusant-class light destroyer.

Kachirho was chosen as the landing spot for the Separatists due to its wide open land areas, as opposed to many other cities on the planet, covered by thick foliage. When the alarm was sounded that the city would be attacked, thousands from other cities came via land and sea to Kachirho to protect it.

A few months later, a group of six Jedi who had escaped Order 66, led by Olee Starstone, came to Kashyyyk looking for Jedi who had been there when Order 66 was issued. Tarfful fought against the Imperials when they invaded Kashyyyk, but he was captured by the Empire and became a slave, destined to help build the Death Star.

During the Galactic Civil War, Kachirho was the only city on Kashyyyk that had a starport, due to the controlling Imperial forces.
