Kubindi

Kubindi was a planet located in the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories that was the homeworld of the insectivorous Kubaz species. Its population was enslaved by the Galactic Empire, and the Kubaz spy and Kubindi native Garindan ezz Zavor plotted to free his world and its people from Imperial oppression.

Description
Located in the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories, in grid square T-9 on the Standard Galactic Grid, the planet Kubindi was connected via hyperspace route to Formos and the space station Junkfort Station.

History
The Galactic Empire had long sabotaged the Kubaz's technological advances to keep them from leaving their homeworld of Kubindi. However, the species was deceived by the Empire into believing that the Alliance to Restore the Republic was the responsible party. As such, the Empire promised to help the Kubaz gain a foothold in galactic trade and politics. In exchange, 51 student, including Garindan ezz Zavor, were chosen from the Kubaz academies to supposedly study under the Empire as diplomats before returning with accolades to their mates and hives.

Instead, they were indentured and trained as spies. Meanwhile, the rest of the planet was enslaved and an Imperial blockade was installed in Kubindi's orbit, though the Kubaz themselves were unaware of the Empire's deception. However, Garindan's indoctrination didn't take, and he began planning to free his world and fellow Kubaz from the oppression of the Galactic Empire.

Inhabitants
Kubindi was the homeworld of the sentient Kubaz, a species of hive-dwelling insectivores that lived in clans. A cultured people led by elders, they spoke Kubazian, a language composed of a unique series of whirring syllables, and were taught in crèches and academies. Garindan ezz Zavor came from a respectable clan on Kubindi known for breeding and farming a sought-after strain of picolet beetle.

Kubindi was first mentioned in the new Star Wars canon in Star Wars: Force Collection, a mobile card game that initially launched on September 4, 2013.
