Sullust

Sullust was the primary planet of the Sullust system, located in the Outer Rim at the conjuncture of the Rimma Trade Route and the Silvestri Trace. It was the homeworld of the Sullustans
==History==
The planet joined the Galactic Republic when Sullustan merchants connected their planet to Tapani Sector with the Rimma Trade Route 5,500 BBY.
The world was volatile with hundreds of active volcanoes, producing a noxious, toxic atmosphere and intense electrical storms. These conditions, combined with the planet's rich mineral deposits, caused the native Sullustan inhabitants to live in underground caves. The underground caves were humid and cool, with a diverse biosphere supported by underground lakes. The planet was once known for its podraces. During the New Sith Wars, the Brotherhood of Darkness captured the planet.
The planet was the headquarters of the galaxy-spanning SoroSuub Corporation, a member of the Commerce Guild. Nearly one-half of the population was under its employment. As the Old Republic crumbled, the governing Sullustan Council became weak. Under President Beolar Bribbs, the planet seceded from the Republic in 22 BBY and joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems. During the Clone Wars, Jedi Knight Rees Alrix led a mission to Sullust.
With the expansion of Palpatine's New Order, SoroSuub assumed leadership of Sullust with Proclamation 173d and announced its full support of the Empire. In exchange for several lucrative contracts and the promise of guaranteed future business, SoroSuub took a hardline against the Rebel Alliance and its supporters.
Angered at SoroSuub's illegal takeover and support of the Empire, Sullustans formed resistance cells under the leadership of Sian Tevv that became model rebel cells during the Galactic Civil War. Tevv's resistance fighters, combined with a coup to take over SoroSuub by pro-Alliance forces, garnered enough support to wrestle control of Sullust away from SoroSuub shortly before 0 ABY.
The Sullustan resistance remained independent from the Alliance, although it allowed their fleet to use Sullust as the rendezvous point following the Battle of Hoth, since Sullust was an endpoint of the Sanctuary Pipeline as well as due to a board chairman of SoroSuub being rescued from Imperial detention by Rebel Forces and Rebel Operatives aiding the evacuation and recovery of the Enviro-Dome.
