Geography[]

The .

TheIron Tower.

Aridus's surface was largely covered by sprawling deserts, though this terrain was dotted by volcanoes with lava pits and some small bodies of water like lakes and oases. The planet's few settlements, likeAridus Trade City, were located near any body ofwater and mines. Aridus's solesentient species were the dimunitive reptilianChubbits which were oppressed under theGalactic Empire which establishedmining operations on the planet. Other lifeforms included the reptiliandroffi steeds and theAridusian lava beetle.

History[]

Chubbit resistance fighters during the Galactic Civil War

Chubbit resistance fighters during the Galactic Civil War

During theClone Wars, Aridus stayed loyal to theRepublic.[4]

Aridus was first scouted by Imperial scouts during the early years of theGalactic Empire. After valuable natural resources were found on the barren planet, various mining conglomerates includingYutrane-Trackata set up operations on Aridus. However, Aridus's ionized atmopshere damaged the mining equipment. Unwilling to wastecredits by scrapping all operations on Aridus, the sectorMoff authorized the construction of a massive power transformer and signal amplifier—theIron Tower. The operations resumed andImperial Hover-trains transported workers to dig sites. In a bid to prove its loyalty, Yutrane-Trackata offered the Empire sole use of its mining vehicles and other heavy equipment.

Unfortunately, the Iron Tower's ultra-strong frequency waves crippled the nervous systems of the native Chubbits, thus killing many of the species. The Chubbits had already been disenfranchised by the Imperial colonization and were forced to wage aguerrilla war on the Empire. However, several Yutrane-Trackata workers surreptitiously supplied Chubbit resistance fighters and members of theAlliance to Restore the Republic withrepulsor tanks[5] andcrawler tanks.

In0 ABY, the Iron Tower wasdestroyed by animpersonator ofObi-Wan Kenobi as part of a ploy byDarth Vader to lureLuke Skywalker into a trap at the Iron Tower.[6]

During theYuuzhan Vong War, Aridus was conquered by theinvaders.[4]

Behind the scenes[]

Unused entries in the mastertextfile_english.dat[7] of the2006LucasArts computer gameStar Wars: Empire at War[8] refer to the "liberation of Aridus" from the Galactic Empire. The entries mention aNebulon-B frigate,X-wings,Y-wings, an Imperialspace station, aStar Destroyer and a long range scanner as the participants, though a reference to a planned ground invasion is made. The briefing states that the Imperials are using the citizens of the system asslave labor in the Imperial munitions factories.[7]
