Iego / Legends Iego , named the Planet of a Thousand Moons , was a planet located in the Extrictarium Nebula in the Outer Rim Territories . Due to the obscurity of the Nebula , Iego did not appear on any star - chart s . Iego did not orbit a sun ; rather , it was warmed by local stellar gases . It was home to the subterranean Maelibi species , as well as thousands of stranded spacefarers who had been lured to the planet by the Diathim — a spaceworthy species that resided on Iego ' s forty - two moons . Although Iego appeared to have no noteworthy natural resources , the concepts of aging and hunger somehow eluded its residents . In spacer lore , Iego was considered a mythical location , and was the subject of many stories and rumors . Numerous expeditions set out to find the planet , though few succeeded , and the ones who did were for the most part unable to leave . Due to the amount of hearsay surrounding the planet , as well as its continued unconfirmed location , most members of the galaxy ' s scientific community dismissed Iego as a spacefarer ' s tale . Inhabitants . Iego ' s original inhabitants , the Maelibi ( also called Demons ) , were large , subterranean creatures that sang a song so pure that it was regarded as the very essence of song . They lived in large , underground caverns , but they intermittently poached the castaway population , dragging their screaming victims back below ground . The inhabitants of Iego ' s moon Millius Prime , Diathim ( also called ) , were vibrant , flying creatures that were said to be of legendary beauty . When a new starship arrived in orbit , a mass of angels assembled around it , entrancing the pilot into crashing his ship onto the rocky surface of Iego . For many years , spacers somehow ended up on Iego . Very few ever made it back . A mass of starships named The Scatter sat on Iego ' s surface and around it lived the castaway tribes . Each time a new being landed on the planet , they pledged allegiance to one of the tribes . There were a select few who chose not to join a tribe and instead live inside the Scatter ; alone , angry , and often insane . For some reason , time did not seem to affect Iego , as supposedly castaways no longer felt the burden of age or hunger . It was said that Humans who served in the Great Sith War could still be alive on Iego millennia later . History . Originally a planet of legend known as Maelibo , smugglers eventually located reliable routes through the Extrictarium Nebula . A former state of Xim ' s empire , towards the end of the Old Republic , spice convoys visited the planet and brought more civilized living to the inhabitants . They eventually dried up , and Iego became increasingly isolated . During the Clone Wars , the Separatists invaded the planet and established battle droid garrisons , intending to use Iego as a redoubt should their war go against them . They eventually abandoned the planet , but before leaving , they installed an orbital security system that destroyed any ship trying to leave the system . The inhabitants of the planet believed the amount of casualties in orbit was because of the wrath of " Drol " , a destructive spirit that would allow nobody to leave the planet . Jaybo Hood , a ten year old prodigy , made use of the battle droids left on the planet and reassigned them to his personal commands . When Anakin Skywalker and Obi - Wan Kenobi arrived on the planet to collect a reeksa root necessary to create an antidote to the Blue Shadow Virus , the locals told them about the myth of Drol . The Jedi soon discovered that it was actually a laser security system that went off whenever a ship passed through the area . They destroyed it with Jaybo ' s Vulture droids , bringing freedom to Iego . During the Second Imperial Civil War , Iego was one of the worlds that supported the Galactic Alliance Remnant . Locations . The Scatter was located in the far south of the planet and almost every being who was unfortunate enough to be stranded stayed there for the rest of their lives . The Choir Alignment was located near the planet ' s equator and was one of the few places that the Diathim would touch down on the planet ' s surface . It was unknown why they chose to land there but it created a brilliant light that could be seen for miles . The Boneyard was in the north , bordering Iego ' s mountains . It consisted of massive bones , too big to be from any known creature . Underneath it could be found caverns inhabited by the demon - like Maelibi . Rawk ' s Nest , the home of " Bantha " Rawk , was also located on Iego . Behind the scenes . Iego was first mentioned in " " by the character Anakin Skywalker . In the novel " Labyrinth of Evil " , Iego is misspelled as " Viago . " The correct spelling of " Iego " was confirmed by Leland Chee in a thread at the StarWars . com message boards . According to the " Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds " , Iego was said to have 42 moons . This sets up a continuity error , as later sources claim Iego has 1 , 000 moons . The Angels of Iego closely resemble the from the Greek epic , beautiful creatures that used their songs to lure ships to crash . In " " , Iego is mispronounced as " Lee - go " .
