Cilpar was an agriworld in the Colonies, nearly covered in mountains, jungles, and forests. It was characterized by the near-indestructible ancient temples scattered across the surface. Local flora and fauna included the predatory ronk.
History[]
At some point after the Galactic Empire landed on the homeworld of the Stenax species, Stenos, several members of the species travelled off-world as part of a plan. They placed operatives on multiple worlds, including Cilpar, to study the species of the galaxy and evaluate those suitable for conquest.[2]
Cilpar was liberated from the Galactic Empire by Rogue Squadron. The planet was held by the Empire when Rogue Squadron set up a base in the mountains west of the capital, Kiidan, after the Battle of Endor. A simple mission turned deadly when they ran into a TIE Fighter ambush. After a long battle, Moff Boren Tascl and Governor Norquest were overthrown.
It later became a hiring ground for mercenaries. Lando Calrissian tried to hire the Soskin Guard there.
