Endor

"Oh, I told you it was dangerous here!"

- C-3PO

Endor (also known as the Forest Moon of Endor and the Sanctuary Moon) was a small forested moon populated by Ewoks.

History
The Galactic Empire established an outpost on the planet that included a shield generator complex to protect the incomplete Second Death Star which was in orbit around the moon.

It was later the site of a battle between Imperial forces and allied Rebel and Ewok soldiers, where the Rebels and Ewoks managed to triumph. Members of the Rebel strike team then detonated explosives, destroying the shield generator and allowing the Alliance space forces to commence their attack on the now exposed Death Star.

After the Death Star was destroyed, members of the Rebel Alliance celebrated their victory with the Ewoks back on the moon.
