Uba IV

Uba IV was a terrestrial planet occupying the fourth orbital position in the Uba system, a part of the Barsa sector of the Mid Rim Territories. Located on Standard Galactic Grid square J-6, it was the homeworld of the sentient and isolationist Ubese species, including Boushh, Ilini, Hareck, Brene, and Tans. Following the crimes those five Ubese committed, they were exiled from the planet before they became bounty hunters.
==Description==
A terrestrial planet, Uba IV occupied the fourth orbital position in the Uba system, a part of the Barsa sector of the Mid Rim Territories, and was situated on Standard Galactic Grid square J-6. At least one grassland was located on the planet's surface.
==History==
At some point, the Tagge Corporation spent generations opening trade routes with Uba IV and continued to maintain a connection with the planet. During that time, the Ubese Boushh, Ilini, Hareck, Brene, and Tans committed crimes on the planet. Boushh's crime led to a settlement being attacked and razed, while Ilini and Hareck were involved in the murder of the former's father and hid his body at some point by 2 BBY.The events of War of the Bounty Hunters – Boushh 1 take place in 3 ABY per Star Wars: Timelines. Since the comic establishes that it had been five years since Ilini was banished from Uba IV for being involved in the murder of the individual's father, Ilini's father must have died by 2 BBY. As a result, they were exiled from the planet and all traces of their identities were erased from Ubese public record, leading them to start new lives as bounty hunters.
In 3 ABY, the five Ubese were tasked by the Crimson Dawn criminal syndicate with eliminating the Tagge Corporation's most powerful members. After infiltrating the company's ship, the Acquisitor, and the ensuing skirmish, they ceased hostilities with the head of the Tagge Corporation, Domina Tagge, who offered them a chance to return to Uba IV by utilizing the company's connection to the planet. At some point after the Battle of Mos EspaStar Wars: The Secrets of the Bounty Hunters that took place around 9 ABY, the Weequay pirate Hondo Ohnaka wrote a book titled The Secrets of the Bounty Hunters, in which Boushh's homeworld received a mention in an entry dedicated to him.
==Inhabitants==
Uba IV was the homeworld of the sentient Ubese species, including Boushh, Tans, Hareck, Ilini, and Brene. Ubese society was notoriously isolationist, rarely conducting trade with off-worlders. As such, Domina Tagge considered it unusual to see Ubese outside of their planet. When an Ubese was exiled from Uba IV, their identities were removed from Ubese public record, and they were unable to return and reintegrate into their society.
==Locations==
A settlement was located on a grassland on Uba IV before it was destroyed due to the actions of Boushh.
