Description
Ulmatra was a minor trade world that was located within the Ulmatra system of the galaxy's Hutt Space region and lay on the intersection of the hyperlanes called the Pabol Sleheyron and The Dead Road. The former connected Ulmatra to the planets of Sleheyron and Randa while the latter linked the planet to the worlds of Kafane and Zisia. The local population average of the region of space containing Ulmatra around the year 25 ABY ranged from 10 million to 100 million.

History
The territory surrounding Ulmatra was under the control of the Hutt species since at least the year 25,096 BBY and was considered well-explored by 8,000 BBY. During the renewed warfare between the Galactic Republic and the resurgent Sith Empire in 3,641 BBY, Ulmatra housed hundreds of corporations that were suspected of money laundering.

An individual visited Ulmatra at that time and sliced the corporations' computers in order to find out which businesses laundered credits. They discovered that several of the corporations laundered money for the criminal organization the Exchange, and were generously rewarded for that information by members of the Hutt species.

Behind the scenes
Ulmatra was first mentioned in The Essential Atlas&mdash;a reference book co-authored by Jason Fry and Daniel Wallace, and published on August 18, 2009. The planet was later mentioned again in Star Wars: The Old Republic, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by BioWare and released in 2011, in which it was used as a possible location for players to assign their companions on individual quests. The Clone Wars Character Encyclopedia that was authored by Fry and published in 2010 mentioned a bird called the Ulmatran condor, however no connection between the condor and Ulmatra has been provided since.
