Veron / Legends Veron was a planet located within the Mektrun Cluster ; it was the second planet in the Veron system . The native Gazaran were ruled by the ancient noble house of Araba . The planet attracted many tourists . Ferlem Kie ' hintack was at one time Imperial Governor of the planet . Description . Veron was a " rustic " trade world which was dominated by forests and tropical jungles . The tropical rainforests of Veron were known for the fevvenor tree s , which covered over three - quarters of the planet ' s land mass ( only the mountains and shore areas didn ' t support the trees ) . Veron also had a complex biosphere that supported many unusual life forms . The rain forests were often graced with short , but refreshing rain storms . The planet ' s low axial tilt allowed for consistent weather , with seasonal differences measured more by rainfall variations than extreme temperature change . Temperatures at treetop level were warm by Human standards ( rarely did the temperature drop below 35 degrees Celsius , and more often it hovered around the 40 degree mark ) . Below the tree top level , both rainfall and temperature dropped off appreciably . At ground level , the temperature averaged 25 degrees Celsius . There were four continents on Veron : Vusi , Ganzka , Ablor , and Norol . There were also three oceans : the Alboz Sea , the Sea of Graves , and the Dizenk - Olvod Ocean . Locations . The main starport was named Trelbio and was where most visitors landed upon arriving in - system . The native inhabitants , the Gazaran , built immense " tree cities " and actively cultivated the tourist trade . The cities featured exciting and colorful hagglers ' markets , where tourists paid exorbitant prices for native wood crafts and sculptures . Since Gazaran had sharp claws that can easily penetrate the trunks of the fevvenor trees , they never had a need for ladders , ramps or other artificial constructions . Instead , a Gazar leapt out from a tree trunk , and glided over to other tree trunks . However , Gazaran cities had been well adapted to fit the needs of visitors lacking the ability to glide and ramps and walkways were a very common sight in cities , especially near open marketplaces and other public areas . Below the Gazaran cities was the underbrush of the forests , a popular destination for naturalists . Located near the marketplace areas were businesses that catered to tourists who wanted to explore the underbrush . Imperial troops were common in tree cities , although they normally were only involved in crime prevention . Each city could have anywhere from about 25 to thousands of members , all living and working together within a certain radius of the respected elder female ' s home tree . The largest cities were Hengin Ki - Tapp Well Gon - far ( located just to the west of Trelbio Spaceport , with over 100 , 000 Gazaran ) , Gazzt So - Terr Aggul Meztim - Si ( on the continent of Ganzka , with over 50 , 000 Gazaran ) , Burll - ikem - Tiz - Sah ( the largest Gazaran city , with 350 , 000 residents ) , and Distt Dok . The Broken Tree Islands were a chain of islands in the northern hemisphere . The Gazaran believe that the islands were the remnants of a large continent which was home to the first great Gazaran civilization . For reasons they did not understand , one day a great storm swept over the continent , destroying many of the trees . After several days of these storms , most of the land sank , leaving only the peaks of the mountains . Miraculously , some of the Gazaran were able to migrate to the other continents . Scientific expeditions to the islands found ancient Gazaran artifacts in the shallow waters and many tourists came to the area for aquatic expeditions . History . In 1 ABY or 2 ABY , bounty hunter Kal - tan - shi killed two Rebel Alliance Mon Calamari envoys plus a seven - member entourage on Veron . Afterwards , Rebel lieutenant Tole Warren was assigned to track Kal - tan - shi because Warren was the only non - droid fluent in Tiss ' shar . Warren never captured Kal - tan - shi , but he found his ship , the " Accuser " , and noticed a failure in the starboard thrust converter . Veron ' s governor , apparently allied with Roganda Ismaren , disappeared on ' vacation ' in 12 ABY . Fauna . Animal life on Veron was plentiful and diverse , with insects , small herbivores , avians and large predators all found in the forests . Most higher order life - forms were reptilian in nature and were cold - blooded , although the range of tolerable temperature varied greatly depending upon the species . Unlike typical reptiles , many creatures gave birth to live young . A curiosity to several biologists that visited Veron was that many of the creatures thrived on surprisingly small amounts of food ( at least compared to creatures of comparable size and activity levels found on other worlds ) . Because most of the creatures of Veron were highly sensitive to temperature variations , many creatures would only be found at a certain altitude within the trees . The Gazaran required higher temperatures than most other creatures on the planet and would be found in the tree top regions . Other creatures in the upper trees included small avians and foraging reptiles such as the dressto , fevvenor toad , and turmil lizard . The ground level life - forms included many of the large carnivores of the planet , such as the Gwerax - hai , black behemoth s and swamp worm s . Since they could not venture to tree - top level for very long , they posed a minimal threat to the Gazaran , but they had been known to attack careless tourists .
