Bimmisaari/Legends

"Bimmisaari. Fur and moving plants a speciality."

- Han Solo

Bimmisaari, in the Saari Ha system of Halla Sector, was the sector capital and an important tradeworld. It was the homeworld of the Bimms and the adopted homeworld of a near-human species of the same name whom settled the planet 2,000 BBY. The planet was directly represented in the Galactic Senate and allowed RRM settlement 22 BBY, prior to the Clone Wars. It became more and more corrupt, joining the Confederacy, but escaped most of the turmoil of the Clone Wars and Imperial repression thanks to its remote location.

During the early days of the Thrawn campaign, the planetary council (called the Law Elders) opened negotiations to join the New Republic. It was during a diplomatic mission here that Leia Organa Solo and Luke Skywalker had their first encounter with the Noghri where they tried to capture Luke and Leia Bimmisaari ultimately did choose to join the New Republic, and other worlds in the Halla sector such as Danuta followed suit. During the Yuuzhan Vong War, the planet was conquered by the extragalactic invaders.

Much of the planet was covered in forests of asaari trees, which could move their branches on their own.
