Betha II

Betha II was a barren, dry low-gravity planet covered in yellow-orange rock with very little atmospheric moisture. It was in the Betha system in Corva Sector, at the midpoint of the Danarc Run. It was originally a more hospitable world with more atmospheric moisture, colonized by the Republic and becoming a thriving port world. Because the planet dried up, it was abandoned. It was resettled by smugglers millennia later, about 20 BBY. Since its surface was often swept dry by dust storms or sandstorms, the caves and canyons of the planet were expanded and connected with tunnels for subterranean habitation by the smuuglers. The planet was discovered by New Republic Intelligence to be the headquarters of the Kaarenth Dissension.
