Ska Gora Ska Gora was a verdant forest planet that was located within the Tython system of the galaxy ' s Deep Core region . More than thirty - six thousand years before the Battle of Yavin , the non – Force - sensitive settlers of the planet Tython colonized Ska Gora . Most of the planet ' s population lived in city - ships that floated above Ska Gora ' s surface , but when the Wookiee warlord Gharcanna led members of his species to illegally settle the surface , the matter ended in a conflict that saw the illegal settlers dead and swaths of the apex tree forests ablaze . Description . Ska Gora was a planet with a single moon that was located within the Tython system of the galaxy ' s Deep Core region , at grid coordinates L - 10 . The planet occupied the eighth orbital position around its sun , Tythos . A temperate and verdant world home to enormous apex tree s , Ska Gora had its surface covered with huge regions of forests , swamps , and wetlands . It also featured an atmosphere with white - colored clouds and at least one mountainous region . Nearly all of the planet ' s population , which numbered in at least the tens of thousands , lived in city - ships that floated above Ska Gora ' s surface in order to protect the world ' s wilderness . Vicious winds occasionally crossed the planet ' s surface , stirring the jungles , and many of the planet ' s trees were thousands of years old by 25 , 793 BBY . However , the planet also featured deep mines that produced precious stones . History . More than a millennium after the year 36 , 453 BBY , when the non – Force - sensitive settlers of Tython — the fifth planet of the Tython system — traveled to Tython ' s neighboring worlds , they colonized Ska Gora . In 25 , 800 BBY , the Je ' daii Daegen Lok experienced a Force vision of an army of dark warriors wielding blades of fire , marching across the burning surface of Ska Gora as the city - ships fell to ground . Sometime between 25 , 797 BBY and 25 , 793 BBY , the Wookiee warlord Gharcanna led members of his species in illegally settling Ska Gora ' s surface , despite the restrictions against doing so . The Je ' daii Ranger Lanoree Brock was dispatched by the Je ' daii Council to Ska Gora , where she stayed with a family of Wookiees and tried all diplomatic methods available to get the Wookiees to depart the surface . However , Gharcanna refused to back down , and Brock was eventually forced to fire upon the forests and kill the Wookiees who were on the planet ' s surface . The attack destroyed swaths of the forests , but the Wookiee land wars , as they became known , were necessary to prevent a civil war between the Wookiees and the other settlers of Ska Gora .
