Kirdo III/Legends

Kirdo III was a planet in the Tamarin sector of the Outer Rim Territories, located on the Sanrafsix Corridor between Sevarcos and Ma'ar Shaddam. It was the home world of the Kitonak race.



Features
It was a desert world, much worse than Tatooine, with yellow-orange hills, white sand, and red plains of dried mud. 400-kilometer-per-hour winds regularly blew across the white sand plains of the planet, causing sandstorms. Rainfall was extremely scarce, happening about once a decade, but once it did rain, it could last several days, filling dry lake and riverbeds.

The primary fauna on Kirdo III was the chooba, that grazed on the local sulfaro plant. The Kitonaks would mimic the plants to eat the chooba. There were many caves and quicksand pits on Kirdo III, the two things that the Kitonaks feared.

History
Kirdo III was frequently raided for slaves. The Eye of Palpatine stopped at the planet and, failing to find the stormtroopers it was looking for, took onboard a number of Kitonaks whom it tried (with little success) to brainwash into being Imperials.

Callista Ming at some point in her travels stopped at Kirdo III.

Behind the scenes
In A Guide to the Star Wars Universe, Second Edition, it is referred to as Kirdo.
