Tantajoc V

Tantajoc V was a jungle-covered planet in the Tantajo system of the Mid Rim Halori sector. Tantajoc V orbited a binary star and was completely uninhabited by sentients as of 3 ABY, although its harsh and humid forests teemed with dangerous predators. After fleeing a coup on nearby Velmor in 17 BBY, Velmorian crown prince Denid and his retainer Jedidiah crash-landed on Tantajoc V, where they survived for the next 20 years in a hostile environment. Rebel leaders Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker tracked Denid's distress signal to Tantajoc V in 3 ABY, finally rescuing him from his exile and returning him to Velmor to assume his throne.
