Nightlands

The Nightlands are an area of the planet Ryloth.

Due to Ryloth's unusual rotation, (its day as long as its year) the planet has two regions, one half of the planet is in constant daylight and the other in permamnent night, known as the Nightlands. The Nightlands have an eerie beauty, strange crystal-like plants have evolved here, glowing from within, having to produce their own light from which to make energy due to the absence of natural light. These plants are a sight to behold, but many predators and criminals dwell in the nightlands and is often the site of podracing spectacles, the huge crystal trees often distract the pilots, causing them to crash and explode, much to the crowd's amusement.
