Boz Pity / Legends Boz Pity was a planet in the Boz Pity system of the Mid Rim . It was home to the sentient Gargantelle species , noted for their large stature . When the planet was discovered at some point before the end of the Ductavis Era , the Hutts attempted to enslave the species . After the Gargantelles repelled seven invasion s and four diplomatic missions , the Hutts convinced the Electric Caliph s of Boz Pity ' s neighbor world Mourn to exterminate the species . The Gargantelles were slowly driven to extinction over the next decade , but erected a substantial amount of enormous gravestones to their fallen . When the species disappeared , these monuments earned Boz Pity the nickname " the graveyard planet , " which prompted inhabitants of nearby systems to travel to the planet to bury their dead . During the Clone Wars , the Confederacy of Independent Systems used the planet as a staging point for raids on the Galactic Republic ' s borders , and constructed a large base on Boz Pity ' s surface . In 19 . 43 BBY , towards the end of the war , Republic forces seized control of the planet . Shortly after the Battle of Yavin , the Alliance to Restore the Republic established a base on the planet . The Galactic Empire discovered the base shortly after , and launched an attack on Boz Pity , but the Alliance was able to evacuate . Between 25 and 26 ABY , the Boz Pity system was attacked by the Yuuzhan Vong during their attempt at conquering the galaxy . New Republic forces drove them out between 27 and 29 ABY . Description . Boz Pity was situated in the Boz Pity system of the Halla sector , near the border of the Mid Rim and the Outer Rim Territories . The only nearby hyperlane was the Ilosian Spur , which connected the Lesser Lantillian Route with Pabol Sleheyron in Hutt Space . It was locked in synchronous orbit around the star Cama Coll with Mourn , a planet that was enshrouded in smoke . After the extinction of the native Gargantelle species , Boz Pity was entirely without sentient life . The death monuments erected by the species were a prominent terrain feature , and ensured Boz Pity the nickname " the graveyard planet . " Inhabitants of nearby systems would also bury their dead on the planet . Apart from the many graves , the terrain was dominated by rocky fields , sand - filled valleys and grassy fields , dotted with mountains . Politically , the only major power to truly establish a presence on the planet was the Confederacy of Independent Systems . After driving the Confederacy away late in the Clone Wars , the Galactic Republic had some military forces stationed there . History . Early history . Boz Pity was home to the sentient Gargantelle species . When the planet was discovered by the Hutts of Nal Hutta between 15 , 000 and 9000 BBY , they identified the Gargantelles as viable slaves , largely due to the species ' massive stature . A series of missions were launched to attempt to enslave them — seven invasion s by Niktos , followed by four diplomatic attempts by t ' landa Til — but they all ended the same way : the Hutt servants were eaten by the natives . This infuriated the Hutt overlords , and prompted them to concoct a new plan . Instead of enslaving the Gargantelles , they would exterminate them . A legal team of Nimbanels was sent to Boz Pity ' s neighbor world Mourn to recruit the services of the Electric Caliph s — ten - millennia - old droids that once belonged to Sultan Nastuonodon . By appealing to their sense of obsolescence , the Nimbanels successfully convinced the caliphs to rid Boz Pity of sentient life . Over the next decade , the Gargantelles were slowly driven extinct . The species erected enormous monuments to their fallen , which would later contribute to Boz Pity ' s reputation as a " graveyard planet . " When the last Gargantelle died , the caliphs returned to Mourn and set the planet ' s crust on fire , killing themselves . The Clone Wars . During the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems , Boz Pity was occupied by the Confederacy of Independent Systems to serve as a staging point for raids on the Galactic Republic ' s borders . A large base was constructed on the planet , and over a hundred warships were stationed in the system . The Republic discovered the Separatist presence when Jedi Master Obi - Wan Kenobi prompted a search of the system , hoping to find the Confederacy Commander Asajj Ventress . In 19 . 43 BBY , Republic forces assaulted Boz Pity . Several Jedi who were assigned to the Outer Rim Sieges participated in the assault . An attempt was made to sneak the " Intervention " — a " Venator " - class Star Destroyer — past the Separatist fleet by having it exit hyperspace between the fleet and the planet . The plan backfired , however , and the ensuing Battle of Boz Pity proved bloody . The " Intervention " crash - landed on Boz Pity , where the Jedi found themselves in a land battle against forces under the command of the Confederacy leader Dooku , as well as General Grievous . Republic naval officer Denn Wessex commanded the " Venator " - class " Redoubt " in the battle over the planet . Although suffering major losses , the Republic won the battle , but the Separatist leadership was able to evacuate the planet . Following the battle , the Republic maintained a presence on Boz Pity . After the Siege of Saleucami , the Jedi Quinlan Vos moved his force of clone troopers to the planet . Following the Clone Wars , planets in the region continued to take their dead to Boz Pity . Galactic Civil War . In 0 ABY , following the Battle of Yavin , the Alliance to Restore the Republic was forced to relocate from their base on Yavin 4 . A list put together by Alderaanian Viceroy and Alliance member Bail Organa named Boz Pity as a viable location for a new base . After sending a survey team to the planet , the Alliance established a base among the ruins of the Gargantelle buildings . The base would prove short - lived : not long after it was established , the Alliance ' s elite Renegade Squadron was tracked to the planet through an Imperial tracking beacon . The Empire immediately launched an attack on the base , deploying a large amount of stormtroopers , several All Terrain Scout Transports , and one All Terrain Armored Transport . However , in the ensuing battle , Renegade Squadron was able to keep the Imperial forces at bay long enough for the Rebel Alliance to evacuate the planet . Between 4 and 8 ABY , Boz Pity was under the hegemony of Imperial warlord Treuten Teradoc ' s Greater Maldrood faction . Between 25 and 26 ABY , the Boz Pity system was attacked by the Yuuzhan Vong , an extra - galactic species . The system remained under their control until between 27 and 29 ABY , when New Republic forces arrived . Inhabitants . The Gargantelles were the only sentient species native to Boz Pity . They were a particularly large species ; individuals could reach a height of twenty meters , and they were equipped with six arms . These traits made them desirable slaves to the Hutts . They were fierce warriors , able to resist almost a dozen attempts at enslavement through sheer force . One of their traditions was to erect very large gravestones for their fallen . After their extinction , Gargantelle skeletons littered the surface of Boz Pity . Behind the scenes . Boz Pity first appeared in issue # 4 of the comic book series " " ( 2005 ) , written by W . Haden Blackman . It was subsequently mentioned in several " Star Wars " works ; perhaps most notably in ( 2005 ) . " The Essential Atlas " ( 2009 ) substantially fleshed out the planet . Co - authors Jason Fry and Daniel Wallace wanted to include profiles for all the planets mentioned in " Revenge of the Sith " , which included Boz Pity . The story of the Gargantelles was invented for the " Atlas " , and the species ' name was a reference to " " , a 16th century series of novels by . The Electric Caliphs , an invention of Wallace ' s for " The New Essential Guide to Droids " , were tied into the history of Boz Pity . When designing the planet for use in " " , artist Mark Harrison drew inspiration from ancient architecture . The temple complex was a particularly big influence . Particular attention was given to the world ' s status as a " graveyard world " — concept art for Boz Pity included drawings of elaborate headstones and enormous skeletons with three faces . " Star Wars Battlefront : Renegade Squadron " erroneously identifies Boz Pity as an Outer Rim planet .
