Nightlands
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
The Nightlands were an area of the planet Ryloth.
Due to Ryloth's unusual rotation (its day as long as its year), the planet had two regions, one half of the planet was in constant daylight and the other in permanent night, known as the Nightlands.
The Nightlands had an eerie beauty. Strange crystal-like plants evolved here, glowing from within, having to produce their own light from which to make energy due to the absence of natural light.
These plants were a sight to behold, but many predators and criminals dwelled in the nightlands and it was often the site of podracing spectacles. The huge crystal trees often distracted the pilots, causing them to crash and explode, much to the crowd's amusement.
Nightlands were in the "darkside" which was the nickname given to the hemisphere of Ryloth's which was shrouded in eternal night due to tidal locking.
