New Cov was the third planet in the Churba system of the Churba Sector, located in the Mid Rim. It was home to some 90 million inhabitants and was covered almost entirely in vast jungles.
These jungles were so treacherous that the population was forced to construct domed cities as refuge from the lethal fauna and flora. Ships enter the cities through the top vents, following the curved pipes down and inward to a bright landing area beneath a transparisteel dome.[1] When safely culled, this flora was a lucrative source for a biomolecular harvesting industry, with products being marketed by the New Cov Biomolecule Company. These biomolecules were important manufacturing components that could not be synthesized.
Covies, as the residents were nicknamed, were routinely pillaged by raiders (rumored to be sponsored by either the Galactic Empire or the Corporate Sector Authority) for their biomolecular products as a form of taxation.

[edit] Behind the scenes
The PC game Star Wars: Rebellion mistakenly places the Churba Sector and, consequently, New Cov, in the Outer Rim Territories.
