[edit] History

Sleheyron was a trade world in the Outer Rim portion of Hutt Space. It sat at the intersection of the Pabol Hutta and Pabol Sleheyron hyperlanes. Its economic muscle was second only to Nar Shaddaa, as was the level of intrigue that occurred there.^[1]

Sleheyron was highly industrial, with layer upon layer of tibanna gas refineries, fuel mines, shipyards, slave quarters and landing bays on its surface.^[2] One of its largest areas was a gladiatorial arena, where the dominant Hutts would pit their slaves against each other.

During the Jedi Civil War, Bochaba the Hutt became a prominent presence on Sleheyron, thanks in no small part to the assassination protocols of HK-47. In fact, HK-47 slaughtered 322 of Bochaba's "meatbag" enemies in a single year for his master. Later, HK-47 would claim that some of his finest work was completed on this world. In the end, however, the Hutt was slaughtered in a particularly gruesome manner by those seeking revenge.

In the time following the war the planet's fuel reserves, one of the largest caches in the Outer Rim, were owned by Vogga the Hutt. After the destruction of the Peragus Mining Facility in 3,951 BBY, Vogga was influenced by the Jedi Exile regarding the shipment of Sleheyron fuel to Citadel Station.^[2]

In his early days, Ziro the Hutt worked as a loan shark on the planet before moving his operations to Coruscant. Ziro had also gotten golden tattoos from his homeworld.^[3]

It was unknown what the Yuuzhan Vong did to the planet during the the war. The Hutts would not comment on its state, nor would they allow outsiders access to the planet.^[1]

[edit] Behind the scenes

Sleheyron was originally planned to be included in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic as one of the planets where the player would discover ancient Star Maps, but was cut from the final release. Most of the information here comes from interviews (see External links), and so their canonicity may be disputed.

Among the music files of the game, however, there are two, titled "mus_area_slehey" and "mus_bat_slehey." The former served as the background music for the Rakatan mind trap sequence and the latter appeared during fights aboard the Star Forge. The name of both files suggests that they were originally intended to be the music for Sleheyron areas.

There is a team called Team Hutt that is currently working on a restoration of Sleheyron for Knights of the Old Republic, it is currently unreleased. The team has thus far released some screen shots of the new module.^[4][5]
