- "We have a sighting that places Enigma on a Providence-class dreadnought. We're currently investigating rumors that this ship is about to attack Taris."
- ―Admiral Wullf Yularen, to the Jedi Council
Taris was a polluted urban planet located in the Outer Rim. Although the planet was a heavily populated urban world, the surface itself was polluted with wrecked starships and dense, overgrown swamps. Makeshift tenements made of shipping containers and crashed starships stacked on top of one another, while yellow smog drifted in the atmosphere. The elite of the planet dwelled in nicer skyscrapers.
History
At some point in galactic history, Taris suffered from a devastation of some sort, resulting in the surface being littered with ships, many buildings being destroyed, and the atmosphere becoming largely polluted. Although the city ultimately maintained its status as a major urban world, many of its population resorted to living in makeshift homes, many of which were old shipping containers.
Five years after the founding of the Galactic Empire, a ship made a quick jump to Taris before quickly leaving the system. The vessel then rendezvoused with a group of rebels, who had commandeered Moff Wilhuff Tarkin's ship, the Carrion Spike.[1]
In the months following the Battle of Endor, a cabal of dark side adherents known as the Acolytes of the Beyond bought the late Lord Vader's supposed lightsaber, intending to destroy it to return it to its master.[2]
Thirty years after the Battle of Endor, Andrithal Robb-Voti represented Taris in the New Republic Senate on Hosnian Prime.[3]
