Sump was the humid, impoverished homeworld of the Nuknog, located in a seldom visited part of the Outer Rim Territories.
Around 1,000 BBY the native Nuknog were persuaded by a mining consortium to sell their homeworld in exchange for employment, free food and housing. The Nuknog spent the next several centuries in a state of indentured servitude, slaving in the substandard mines and factories, working on substandard equipment in unsafe conditions.
Sump became more polluted and dilapidated as the centuries passed. Mining towns sprung up, then fell rapidly into decay and filth. Dust and contaminants filled the air. All over the planet, forests died and left behind toxic swamps, incapable of supporting any but the most mutated and aggressive life-forms. Eventually, the Jedi and Galactic Senate dissolved the mining consortium, but the damage to Sump was irreparable. The landscape was blotted with abandoned factories, empty mines, filthy urban sprawl, and waste dumps.
Few Nuknog had the means to leave their homeworld, but those who did jumped at the chance, sometimes selling themselves into slavery just to afford passage on a passing freighter.
