Wayland / Legends Wayland was a lush , semi - tropical planet in the Outer Rim Territories . History . Galactic Republic . Wayland was discovered and colonized during the Galactic Republic ' s second wave of expansion , and served as a field hospital during the Mandalorian Wars . It was also the site of a factory for Lhosan Industries . A filing error removed all record of the planet from astrogation charts and planetary logs , so that years later , people were unsure if " Wayland " was the planet ' s real name or an Imperial codename . The Human colonists quickly came into conflict with Wayland ' s indigenous sentient species , the " crystal - skinned " Myneyrsh i and the " lumpy armor - plated " Psadan s . In their early years , the colonists came to dominate the Myneryrshi and Psadans with Republic technology , but isolated over time , the colonists technologically regressed to the level of the indigenous species . Centuries later , Wayland was rediscovered by Palpatine , perhaps in the pre - Imperial period , who determined its isolation and uncharted nature made it ideal for a storehouse of arcane artifacts and secret technology . During the Clone Wars , the Wayland system was restricted by the Confederacy of Independent Systems , and a battle claiming the life of a Jedi was fought over the planet at some point . In 3 BBY , the Empire built a research station . The research station , under the command of Commandant , Col . Milosh Muhrlein , was suspected of selling experimental droids protocols and devices on the black market . This practice ended when Imperial Intelligence agent Jahan Cross and his droid IN - GA investigate and eliminated Muhrlein . Galactic Civil War . Emperor Palpatine built his storehouse into Mount Tantiss in Wayland ' s northern hemisphere and placed a Dark Jedi as its Guardian . In 9 ABY , after five years without Imperial contact in the wake of Palpatine ' s death , the Guardian established a city he populated with Wayland ' s three native populations : Humans , Myneyrsh i , and the Psadan . Joruus C ' baoth , an insane clone of the Jedi Master Jorus C ' baoth , dueled with the Guardian later that year . The clone killed the Guardian and maintained the settlement himself . C ' baoth , hungry for power , established himself as the hand of justice on Wayland , installing a cruel , twisted Jedi code . The mad clone used his powers to bring a forced peace between the Humans , Psadans and Myneryrshi , culminating in a tense coexistence in a city southwest of Mount Tantiss . Even later in 9 ABY , Grand Admiral Thrawn descended upon Wayland to claim the cloaking shield technology and thousands of Spaarti cloning cylinder s that he used in his war against the New Republic . The Mount Tantiss storehouse was eventually destroyed by Lando Calrissian and Chewbacca , and C ' baoth killed by Mara Jade . After the destruction of Mount Tantiss , Wayland became a planet of particular interest to the New Republic as they took the planet away from the Galactic Empire . Researchers and New Republic Intelligence officers scoured the planet and ruins for clues to aid in their defeat of Imperial warlords , discovering evidence that would lead to the political fallout of Bothan involvement in the destruction of Caamas . The New Republic also relocated the Noghri to the colony of New Nystao on Wayland to escape their collapsing home world of Honoghr . In 14 ABY , Corran Horn was dispatched to Wayland to determine whether or not the Disciples of Ragnos had visited the planet to drain its Force energy . Yuuzhan Vong War . In 25 ABY , Wayland acted as the site of the first interrogation of the Yuuzhan Vong priestess Elan and her familiar Vergere , but due to an attack by Yuuzhan Vong forces they were relocated . It also served as a safe world for New Republic personnel during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong War . Wayland ' s secrecy was eventually disrupted by Elan , who transmitted its location to the Vong with a hidden villip . Despite the harshness of the attack , there were few casualties among the Noghri in residence . The Yuuzhan Vong later brutally subjugated Wayland , terraformed it to serve as an organic weaponry breeding ground and destroyed much of the planet ' s crust and mantle with Chom - Vrone . Amphistaff s from Wayland were also found among Peace Brigade cargo during the late stages of the war . The New Republic later raided the world in order to train new recruits in combat in preparation for the decisive Battle of Ebaq . Legacy era . Wayland was later one of the first subjects of the Ossus Project , and was also one of the first failures of that project . By the time of the Second Imperial Civil War , the planet had been , for all intents and purposes , quarantined . Flora and fauna . The following animals or plants inhabited Wayland : Behind the scenes . Despite Wayland ' s apparently unknown nature , several passages in the Clone Wars novel " " reference the planet directly , including mention of a battle occurring over the world and the Confederacy of Independent Systems blockading it . Additionally , in the 2006 video game " " , Raymus Antilles sends C - 3PO and R2 - D2 to the planet . However , in the 1991 novel " Heir to the Empire " , which takes place long after the game in 9 ABY , no - one seems to have any knowledge of the existence of Wayland , except for certain high - ranking Imperial officials .
