Abo Dreth

Abo Dreth was a planet in the Corporate Sector, thriving with lakes and rivers but with a nitrogen-based atmosphere. Since its discovery by the Galactic Republic somewhen between 3,000 and 25 BBY, the planet remained outside of galactic affairs until the rise of the Empire. It soon came under the control of several factions, including Zsinj's Empire, the Confederation and Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire, escaping the bloody Yuuzhan Vong invasion unharmed.

History
Abo Dreth was a planet in the Abo Dreth system within the Corporate Sector in the Outer Rim of the galaxy. Located in the Tingel Arm, it was large and, at least from orbit, dark brown in color, and its terrain was sprinkled with hundreds of silver lakes and rivers. The atmosphere was nitrogen-based thus rich in this gas while additionally a breath mask was required to travel on or near the surface. The planet was discovered by the Galactic Republic sometime between 3,000 and 25 BBY, although the world remained of little political significance until the rise of the Galactic Empire.

In 0 ABY, a renowned CSA executive named Fiolla, landed on the planet with a prisoner. She had been assigned to look for a Rebel cell, but was instead led to a trap planned by her own boss Prex. The ensuing confront resulted in both the assassin and Fiolla's prisoner's deaths, and Fiolla leaving the planet soon after.

During the Galactic Civil War, a large conflict between Empire and Alliance to Restore the Republic, Abo Dreth's small population was, for the most part, sympathetic to the Rebels. After the Empire's fragmentation, it fell under control by one of the most powerful of the Imperial Warlords, Zsinj, breaking away from the Corporate Sector before Grand Admiral Thrawn could eventually move in and conquer it, a few years later.

Escaping the wrath and destruction of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, a bloody alien crusade through the galaxy, the planet continued their support for the Galactic Alliance when the invaders were repelled. After joining the Confederation during the Second Galactic Civil War, the world rejoined the Alliance after the Confederation surrendered. As of 137 ABY, the world was part of Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire until its defeat one year later.

Behind the scenes
Abo Dreth first appeared in the 1997 Star Wars Galaxy 12 article Priority: X, a short story written by George R. Strayton. Later on, it was mentioned in the 2008 Star Wars Encyclopedia and again in The Essential Atlas, written by Jason Fry and Daniel Wallace and published in 2009.
