Suurja was an agrarian planet in the Outer Rim Territories' Suurja system, home to a population of 16 million colonists. It was Stench's alleged homeworld.
[edit] History
Suurja was a resource world for Taris, and when it was threatened by the Mandalorian Neo Crusaders in 3,966 BBY, it was the drive that compelled Lhosan Industries to lobby to get Taris a seat in the Galactic Senate.
In 3,964 BBY Suurja was the location of at least four battles between Mandalorian and Galactic Republic forces that resulted in a stalemate. The planet was located on the Jebble-Vanquo-Tarnith line. The war at this point appeared to be in a stalemate as the Mandalorians had not gained new territory in the Outer Rim for a year. One of the earliest groups of Jedi to enter the war were present as observers at the Fourth Battle of Suurja. Most, if not all of the group, including the Padawan Alek were captured and taken to Flashpoint Station.
Official Catronus Steffans commented on the fourth battle of Suurja, saying "This shows that the cordon that Captain Saul Karath has thrown up is holding. It is only a matter of time before we begin pushing in the other direction."
