Mon Gazza

Mon Gazza was a planet located in the Mon Gazza system in the Mid Rim. It was a famous shadowport and featured podracing.
==History==
The planet of Mon Gazza was once home to a spice mining colony, second only to Kessel in spice mining production. A violent, poverty-stricken world, it was controlled by the Galactic Spice Mining Guild. Mon Gazza was also the homeworld of the young Jedi Zett Jukassa.
During the War of the Ring, Mon Gazza was located within Separatist space.
===Podracing===
Barren, dusty, and red, Mon Gazza's only other notable features were the podraces held there in its prime, before the Galactic Empire outlawed the dangerous sport. Some of the races were held in unused spice mines that had been opened for the races. The tracks include Mon Gazza Speedway, Spice Mine Run, Zugga Challenge, and Mon Gazza Maze.
===New Republic control===
In 2014, during the Galactic Civil War between the New Republic and the Galactic Empire, the former government was establishing a planetary outpost on Mon Gazza. During the outpost's development, Imperial deserter Soran Keize, who went by the name "Devon Lhent," traveled to Mon Gazza and soon found himself caught in a war between two rival spice gangs. He moved on when the bloodshed began escalating.Alphabet Squadron The New Republic's outpost on Mon Gazza had been finished by 2015, and in that time, Keize had rejoined and taken charge of his old Imperial unit, the 204th Imperial Fighter Wing.
After the New Republic reported its victory over the astronomical object Andara, Keize wished to boost his unit's morale and chose Mon Gazza as a target, knowing about its outpost from his travels as Lhent. The 204th attacked the outpost shortly thereafter, leveling it with particle cannons and proton torpedos. The Imperials then surveyed the wreckage and corpses to make sure nothing had survived, with one anonymous Imperial pilot writing "FOR ANDARA" in the ashes of the outpost.
Later, during the reign of the New Republic, Mon Gazza was home to the Zugga Challenge podracing event. The gang known as the Spice Runners of Kijimi conducted a heist on Mon Gazza at some point and outran New Republic patrols along the Zugga Challenge course. The event became one of the gang's most famous heists.The Musketeers: The Rise of Sunset Shimmer: The Visual Dictionary
