Sullust/Legends

Sullust was the primary planet of the Sullust system in the Sluis Sector.

The Outer Rim world was volatile with hundreds of active volcanoes, producing a noxious, toxic atmosphere and intense electrical storms. These conditions, combined with the planet's rich mineral deposits, caused the native Sullustan inhabitants to live in underground caves. The underground caves were humid and cool, with a diverse biosphere supported by underground lakes.

The planet was the headquarters of the galaxy-spanning SoroSuub corporation. As the Old Republic crumbled, the governing Sullustan Council became weak. With the expansion of Palpatine's New Order, SoroSuub assumed leadership of Sullust with Proclamation 173d and announced its full support of the Empire. In exchange for several lucrative contracts and the promise of guaranteed future business, SoroSuub took a hardline against the Rebel Alliance and its supporters.

Angered at SoroSuub's illegal takeover and support of the Empire, Sullustans formed resistance cells under the leadership of Sian Tevv that became model rebel cells during the Galactic Civil War. Tevv's resistance fighters garnered enough support to wrestle control of Sullust away from SoroSuub shortly before 0 BBY. The Sullustan resistance remained independent from the Alliance, although it allow their fleet to use Sullust as the staging point for planned destruction of the second Death Star. After the Battle of Endor, Sullust was officially aligned itself with the Alliance, and subsequently the New Republic.
