"We're dropping you on Horuz. That's one of the dark planets we've been watching."
―Saw Gerrera, to Jyn Erso[3]

Horuz was a planet[3] located in the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories.[1] Horuz was what the Partisans considered a "dark planet," meaning it was a seemingly insignificant planet that experienced communication blackouts and much higher protocols than normal.[3] Around 6 BBY,[4] Jyn Erso was sent on a mission to Horuz to assassinate the Imperial scientist Dorin Bell, who was eventually killed by land mines.[3] Shortly before the Battle of Scarif, Imperial forces were deployed to Horuz.[5] In the lead-up to the Battle of Jakku in 5 ABY, Horuz was reportedly to still be in the thrall of either an Imperial remnant or the criminal syndicates and gangs.[6]

Horuz's surface included cliffs, canyons, and forests.[3]

  1. 1.0 1.1 1.2 Star Wars: The Force Awakens Beginner Game
  2. Star Wars: The Force Awakens Beginner Game places Horuz in the area of space Star Wars: The Galactic Explorer's Guide identifies as the New Territories.
  3. 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 3.5 3.6 3.7 Rebel Rising
  4. Rebel Rising establishes that the mission to Horuz occurred shortly after Jyn Erso's fifteenth birthday. Catalyst: A Rogue One Novel establishes that Jyn Erso was born one year after the First Battle of Geonosis, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 22 BBY. Therefore Erso was born in 21 BBY, and the mission to Horuz must have occurred sometime around 6 BBY.
