Filve

Filve was the hot, dry homeworld of the Filvians in the Dufilvian Sector of the Mid Rim.

Early in the Galactic Civil War, Filve received much punishment from Imperial forces, both from actual attacks on the planet and damage from battles occurring above it. By the time of the Battle of Yavin, Filve had been showing strong support for the Alliance to Restore the Republic.

It was the location of an Imperial spaceport and served as a major starship service, trade, and information hub. A number of the galaxy's wealthiest corporations, such as Sienar and BlasTech, have opened branch offices on Filve.

Its deserts were punctuated by giant, self-contained, climate-controlled cities where both natives and offworlders could avoid the harsh environment. The cities were interlocked, so outdoor travel between them could completely be avoided. The planet had a population of 6 billion.

In 9 ABY the planet was attacked as part of a diversion that sent New Republic forces from Ord Pardron there, and eventually back to Ord Pardron, keeping them away from nearby Ukio.

Behind the scenes
