- "An attack on Taanab—though on the Perlemian Trade Route—would earn the dissidents more condemnation than praise, as Taanab's agricultural projects feed billions in the Mid and Outer Rim."
- ―Vice Admiral Dodd Rancit explains why it is unlikely theCarrion Spike will target Taanab[4]
Taanab was aplanet[6] located in theTaanab system[2] withinthe galaxy'sInner Rim[1] on thePerlemian Trade Route. The world was home to several agricultural projects which createdfood used to feed billions of inhabitants ofMid Rim andOuter Rim worlds.[4] TheRebel pilotWes Janson wasborn on Taanab.[7]
After theImperialcorvetteCarrion Spike wasstolen bydissidents Taanab was a world within their reach as a potential target, butVice AdmiralDodd Rancit ofNaval Intelligence did not consider the world under threat, as damaging the food source of so many innocents would not fit with the shipjackers' objectives.[4] By10 BBY,[8] thecrime lordDryden Vos owned a storehouse on Taanab which contained items he hadcollected.[9]
Theday after theBattle of Yavin, theRebel AllianceLieutenantCaluan Ematt wasambushed byImperial forces on Taanab but managed to flee to the planetCyrkon inHutt Space before the Empireblockaded it.[6] At some point before theBattle of Endor, thegamblerLando Calrissian participated in theBattle of Taanab[10] where he defeated apiratefleet.[7]
Behind the scenes[]
In the original story outline forSolo: A Star Wars Story, Taanab was a major location in the second half of the movie, whereDryden Vos andEnfys Nest would be in a conflict over the world's finite resources. For the movie, Taanab was planned to be a lush jungle environment. SirEdward James's surrealist sculpture gardenLas Pozas, located at the rainforests of centralMexico, was a possible shooting location and design inspiration for Vos' lair.[11]
