Florrum / Legends Florrum was a rocky , backwater planet located six parsecs from Vanqor in the Outer Rim Territories . Description . Florrum had a dry climate and the surface of the planet was a mixture of deserts , canyons and areas with many sulfuric geysers . Skalders were creatures native to the Doshar fields with thick hides that protected them from the acid coming out of the geyser s . Other species living on Florrum were Weequays , Jawas , Nikto and Bith . History . Capture of Dooku . A Weequay pirate gang led by Hondo Ohnaka had its headquarters located on Florrum . After their capture of Count Dooku on Vanqor , they returned to the planet with the Sith Lord . Later it was there that Ohnaka captured Jedi Knights Obi - Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker after they came to check that Dooku was there to pay the ransom for him . They escaped soon after , with the help of Representative Binks , Commander Stone and several clone troopers . The planet was then left in peace by the Republic , though Dooku was likely to have his Separatist forces invade the planet . Boba Fett ' s Arrival . Following an incident in which Boba Fett and Aurra Sing , alongside fellow bounty hunters Bossk and Castas , took Republic hostages in the aftermath of an attack as part of Boba Fett ' s revenge scheme against Mace Windu , the need to take shelter on a distant planet arose . Sing therefore commandeered Slave I and landed on Florrum to seek the aid of Hondo Ohnaka , whom Aurra Sing wanted to replace Castas , due to his desire to quit the mission . While Ohnaka allowed the group and their captives , among them Admiral Shoan Kilian , to take refuge with his gang , he refused to aid them in their endeavors . Meanwhile , Boba Fett was becoming increasingly disillusioned with Sing ' s methods , most especially after she killed Castas when he attempted to turn the other bounty hunters in . Shortly thereafter , Plo Koon and Ahsoka Tano arrived on Florrum in pursuit of the bounty hunters , having heard Castas ' message to his underworld friends back on Coruscant . After a brief skirmish in Ohnaka ' s cantina , Sing escaped the Jedi , leaving Boba Fett to be captured . Ahsoka pursued Sing , while Ohnaka convinced Fett that assisting the Jedi would be the honorable thing to do . While attempting to escape aboard Slave I , Sing was seemingly killed when the ship crashed as a result of Ahsoka ' s efforts . Boba Fett and Bossk were then taken back to Coruscant by the Jedi , and the hostages were freed . Unbeknownst to them , however , Ohnaka had managed to retrieve Aurra Sing from the wreckage of Slave I , allowing her to survive and undertake future missions . Crash landing . Shortly after Cad Bane and his accomplices broke Ziro the Hutt out of Galactic Republic imprisonment , Shahan Alama , one of Cad Bane ' s accomplices , was caught in a battle over Florrum , while trying to hide from the Republic in the Outer Rim . A Republic gunship , which was under attack by a Munificent - class star frigate and several starfighters , shot Alama ' s saucer craft down . Shahan was forced to make an emergency landing on Florrum ' s rocky surface , where he met Hondo Ohnaka and was captured by him . Rescue Mission . Later during the Clone Wars , a group of younglings planned to rescue their chaperon , Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano , after she was kidnapped by Hondo and his pirates following a raid the pirates conducted on their Jedi training cruiser , the " Crucible " . Once landed on Florrum ' s surface , the younglings go scout for the pirates , but instead find a circus vessel led by Preigo . They impress the circus leader with their stunts and acts and join his circus . While preforming at Hondo ' s base , they managed to free Ahsoka and escape the outpost . Separatist Occupation . General Grievous , under the orders of Count Dooku , launched an attack on Obi - Wan Kenobi ' s fleet for control over the Florrum system . The Separatists were victorious and Kenobi and the surviving members of his crew were forced to flee . Kenobi and CC - 2224 activated their ship ' s self destruct system just before they fled . Grievous then lead a ground assault on Florrum where they easily took over the pirate stronghold and held Ohnaka and his men captive . Some of Ohnaka ' s men , along with Ahsoka and the younglings , managed to infiltrate the base and free him and the rest of the pirates . Ohnaka then fled to his secret starship vault with his men and was ready to leave Florrum , but at the urging of one of the younglings , piloted Slave I and rescued Ahsoka and the other younglings . Ohnaka and his men then returned to Florrum after returning Ahsoka and the younglings to Kenobi .
