Kashyyyk

Kashyyyk was a planet in the Mid Rim near the Trandoshan homeworld, Trandosha. The surface of the planet was covered with jungles and forests of trees spanning many hundreds of metres into the air. Due to the unique rotation of the planet Kashyyyk essentially has only one season.

The most notable feature about Kashyyyk was its massive forests composed of wroshyr trees which stretched from the very surface ground to the skies thousands and thousands metres above. Below these trees were dense swamp lands that few every dare to venture to because of the immense dangerous involved. The most notable sentient life, the Wookies, lived in their cites which were crafted from the jungle around them.

On occasion the Wookies would venture down to the lower depths and encounter other vicious predators and plants capable of devouring full grown Human beings as part of their rite of passage ceremonies.
