Endor
The largest of nine moons orbiting the silvery gas giant
Endor, the forest moon of Endor is the size of a small planet,
and is also known as the sanctuary moon, or often simply just
Endor. It is located in the Moddell Sector. It is a temperate
moon of forests, savannas and mountains, with a relatively light
gravity. Its climate is suitable for its many native life-forms,
including the somewhat primitive, furry Ewoks,
who make their communal dwellings high in the trees.
The Empire selects Endor as the construction site for its second Death Star, and establishes an
Imperial base on the moon's surface to generate a protective
shield for the orbiting battle station. A Rebel strike force,
including Han Solo and Princess Leia, lands on Endor in an attempt
to destroy the shield generator, and gets some unexpected help.
