- "Forty-two individual islands, each representing a key member of the Republic. Here visitors will be able to experience everything that the Republic has to offer, from the golden beaches of Spira and island spires of Bestine, to the bustling markets of Jaresh and fashion emporiums of Alderaan."
- ―Samera Ra-oon
Spira was a tropical[2] planet known for its golden beaches[3] that was located in the Galactic Core.[1] During the High Republic Era, it was a key member of the Galactic Republic and received a sky-island at the Republic Fair on Valo.[3] The Resistance pilot Poe Dameron once took a vacation there, and was reminded of it when tasting a drink at an auction hosted by Nifera Shu on Corellia.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
Spira was first mentioned in the theme park attraction Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge.[4] It was originally created for the 1994 Star Wars Legends roleplaying adventure The Spira Regatta.[5]
A preliminary excerpt of the novel The High Republic: Light of the Jedi identified Spira as the homeworld of the saberfish.[6] However, the final novel instead stated they were from Tibrin.[7]
