Mustafar

Mustafar is a volcanic mining planet in the Outer Rim region of the Galaxy. It is known for being a prominent location in Darth Vader's fall to the Dark Side of the Force.
== History ==
=== Clone Wars ===
Sometime during the Clone Wars, Mustafar fell into the hands of the Separatist Alliance. During the final days of the war, the Separatist leadership hid on the planet in fear out of being captured by the Galactic Republic. However, after Darth Sidious (who had been manipulating both sides of the war), turned Anakin Skywalker to the Dark Side of the Force, he dispatched Skywalker to Mustafar to execute the Separatists.
Shortly after killing all the Separatist leaders, Skywalker was confronted by his former Jedi master, Obi-Wan Kenobi and his wife, Padmé Amidala. Kenobi and Skywalker engaged in a lightsaber battle which resulted in Kenobi dismembering Skywalker. This led to Skywalker being put in protective armour to help him survive.
=== Return of the Sith ===
By 35 ABY, Mustafar had come under the influence of the Alazmec of Winsit, a cult worshipping Darth Vader. On the grounds of the ruins of Darth Vader's former castle, Kylo Ren (in search of the Sith Wayfinder that would lead him to Darth Sidious) slaughtered all the members of the Alazmec of Winsit and found the Wayfinder, which they were in possession of.
== Geography ==
Mustafar is a volcanic planet with many lava rivers flowing through the landscape. The native Mustafarian species mainly worked as coal miners on the planet's surface. Among the many volcanoes was Darth Vader's castle, which he used during his lifetime.
== Government ==
By the year 19 BBY, Mustafar had fallen under the control of the Separatist Alliance and served as the headquarters of the Separatist leaders in the final days of the Clone Wars. After the end of the war, Republic and Separatist territories were merged into the Galactic Empire, this presumably included Mustafar as well.
After the Empire's collapse, Mustafar was colonized by the Alazmec of Winsit, who ruled the planet until 35 ABY.
