"If there is a dark side to this galaxy, Socorro is on the hind side of it. Far beyond the notice of dominions large and faceless—where a man's word and the sweat of his brow are worth more than his scrip. This is truly a most splendid place to be."

―Kirr Cyrs^[src]

Socorro was a planet in the Outer Rim Territories with a reputation as a smuggler haven. Located between Coyn and Tatooine and near Duunir, Iyred, Omman, Redcap, and the Nodgra system, Socorro was home to the ferocious Monnoks, as well as several nomadic groups: the Ibhann'I, Bharhulai, Ndowi, and Asilyr. It was also the homeworld of Lando Calrissian and Qu Rahn. Its deserts were composed of distinctive black sand. The name "Socorro" in Old Corellian meant "scorched earth."

HistoryEdit

Corellians colonized the planet in 3,000 BBY, though only four of their original six colony ships were believed to have survived. The Bharhulai tribe was a hostile group that dwelt in Socorro's dangerous northern polar region.
