Blenjeel

"Now to get off this crazy rock."

- Jaden Korr

Blenjeel was a desert planet between Ando and Kothlis, located far from the major hyperlanes. It was inhabited by enormous Sand burrowers, which dove up from the ground beneath their unsuspecting prey.

The terrain of Blenjeel was comprised mostly of wide deserts, noted for the unusual consistency of the sand, which shifted over time. Rocky outcroppings which were stable one day seemed to sink into the sand the next. These shifts were mostly attributed to the movements of the sand burrowers.

Ten years after the Battle of Endor, a merchant vessel was attacked by an Imperial Interdictor cruiser and crashed on Blenjeel, and Jedi apprentice Jaden Korr was sent to investigate. However, he too crash landed on the planet just as the last merchant was killed, but was able to avoid the native sandworms for long enough to find the parts necessary to repair his ship. Shortly after this, it was listed in Galactic databases as a dangerous planet to be avoided.

Behind the scenes
The concept of Blenjeel seems to be based on the Dune planet Arrakis, a desert planet with giant sandworms.
