Dithanune

Dithanune was a planet located in the Dithanune system, a part of the Bortele sector in the Slice portion of the Mid Rim. It was home to the lethal predator known as the needle beast, which the Defel miner and undercover Rebel Alliance spy and saboteur Thar'quan once encountered by the time of the Galactic Civil War.Cracken's Rebel Operatives
==Behind the scenes==
Dithanune's name was introduced via a mention of the "Dithanune needle beast" in Cracken's Rebel Operatives, a 1994 West End Games sourcebook published for use with Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game. The section mentioning the creature was authored by Craig Robert Carey with J. Michael Denbo. 2008's The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia subsequently established Dithanune as a distinct planet. The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas placed the Dithanune system, and therefore the planet itself, in grid square R-8.
