The water canals of Abregado-rae Spaceport
Despite Abregado-rae'stemperate climate, there was a very limited number of nativespecies present, with less than ten species of large animals native to the planet. These included two species of sentient beings: the tall, lankyGados, which formed the majority of planet's native population, and small, low-intelligentMoochers (said to be related to theAtzerrian Meeks).
Unlike most Core Worlds, Abregado-rae was fairly backward, to the point of being compared with worlds in theOuter Rim Territories. The planet'sspaceports seemed safe, at least to the untrained eye, but in fact it was a knownsmuggler's paradise.
The planet had many popular establishments including theLoBue Cantina,Lost Loves Casino,Njinska's Tavern,Starlight Theater,The Star of Chance, and theTriple Nova Casino. These were located in eitherAbregado-rae Spaceport orLe Yer, both of which attracted visitors from all parts of the galaxy (includingHan Solo andLando Calrissian on occasions). The city ofLe Yer was a popular coastal resort, with its extension,Phyrstal Island accessible byhydrobikes orfloatboats.
Abregado-rae was also one of the few planets where the rare metalelectrum was found. It was known to occasionally bubble to the surface in theGilt Gushers. This mineral could be used for craftinglightsabers with many unique qualities;Darth Sidious andMace Windu both possessed lightsabers containing electrum.
History[]
The planet was first discovered by scouts from theGalactic Republic around10,000 BBY, during the exploration of hyperlanes that would become the Rimma Trade Route, though colonization would not occur for millennia.[2] At the rise of the theSith empire under the leadership ofDarth Revan, Abregado joined with the Sith, sending their colonists to war against the Republic andMandalorians. With the assassination ofDarth Malak and Revan's disappearance, the Empire crumbled and the planet realigned with the Republic.[2]
During theCold War between theGalactic Republic and thereconstituted Sith Empire, aTrandoshanpirateship was shot down upon having attempted to escape. The vessel consequently dropped off its loot over the southern hemisphere.[7] Around the same time, a local auction house misclassified its trinkets and accidentally offered the objects for a far too cheap price.[8]Furthermore, the canals ofAbregado-rae's capital city were temporarily drained. The detritus of the canals told the story of the city's history.[9]
Before theClone Wars, a number of residents of Abregado-rae, along with other natives on theRimma Trade Route joined theNebula Front. This organization was against corporate monopoly and decadent government, but was dissolved when its leaders were killed or arrested byJedi MasterQui-Gon Jinn andPadawanObi-Wan Kenobi.
During the Clone Wars, Abregado-rae was the origin of theShapani Bypass, a shortcut along the Rimma Trade Route that was used to quicken the delivery ofBacta fromThyferra to theCore Worlds. While in the first year of the war, abattle took place in theAbregado system. At the end of the war, with the rise of theGalactic Empire, the planet quickly joined to ensure security and peace in the system.[2]

The people of Abregado-rae assisting the Alliance
The planet eventually saw the founding of theTundei Tribunal, led by theTundei and aHerglic namedShelov who along with other off-worlders, promised a planet without crime. They installed harsh limits on freedom and stopped all legal shipments of food toclans in the mountains in an attempt to stifle opposition. This caused it to be a commonsmuggling destination for foodstuffs. The regime eventually made the cost of running illegal operations on the planet so costly, that all illegal investment in Abregado-rae swiftly pulled out, nearly destroying the economy.
The Tribunal also allowed virtually the entireMoocher population to be destroyed when a potential outbreak ofVeizen fever, a disease which drove Moochers mad, was thought capable of spreading to the residentGados. During theSsi-ruuvi invasions, the planet was absorbed intoZero Command's territory.[2]

The planet surface during the Thrawn campaign
DuringGrand AdmiralThrawn's campaign against theNew Republic, he captured space near Abregado-rae as a possible prelude to a pincer movement onCoruscant. This put Abregado-rae on the New Republic side of theBorderland Regions. The planet served as a meeting point for Han Solo, Lando Calrissian, andFynn Torve (a member ofTalon Karrde's smuggling organization).Thrawn later sent theAdamant to Abregado-rae in an attempt to capture some of Karrde's smugglers. The warship managed to intercept and captureMara Jade and took her to Thrawn.
While New Republic forces were moving through the system as of27 ABY during theYuuzhan Vong War, the planet was attacked by theextragalacticYuuzhan Vong at some point before29 ABY.[10] As of137 ABY the world was controlled byDarth Krayt's Galactic Empire.[2]
