||
| − | '''Kashyyyk''' (see [[Kashyyyk#Pronunciation|pronunciation]]), also known as '''Wookiee Planet C''', '''Edean''', '''G5-623''', and '''Wookiee World''', was a [[Mid Rim]] planet. It was the lush, [[wroshyr tree]]-filled home world of the [[Wookiee]]s. It was a member of the [[Galactic Republic]], endured enslavement under the [[Galactic Empire]], and later joined the [[New Republic]]. |

||
| − | |||
| − | [[File:Kashkkky-lowerlevel.jpg|thumb|left|80px|The lower levels of Kashyyyk]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | With no axial tilt and a perfectly circular orbit, Kashyyyk experienced one continuous season. It was composed of a molten metallic core, rocky mantle, and a silicate rock crust. The planet had four continents, making up 40% of the surface, which were mostly covered in lush, [[wroshyr tree]]-filled forests, which were several kilometers high. The planet did have a small amount of desert region in the rain-shadow of its small mountain ranges as well as large plains including the [[Woolwarricca]] region. A tropical ocean belt contained archipelagos and long coral reefs. In addition, a few sandy beaches could be found along the shores of its oceans. The Kashyyyk coastlines were lined with a brownish-white sand and thick grasses. Kashyyyk's highest peak was [[Korrokrrayyo Mountain]].<ref>''[[A Forest Apart]]''</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Much of the planet could be compared to a giant swamp—filled with wildlife and covered with wet soil and large amounts of [[water]]. The prevalent ecology could be politely described as a "layered deathtrap", as the dangers presented by local wildlife increased as one descended toward the forest floor. According to [[Wookiee]] culture, this vertical environment consisted of seven levels. The bulk of Wookiee civilization was located on the uppermost seventh level, and even the bravest Wookiees rarely ventured below the fourth level. Unlike most, [[Chewbacca]] was known to travel below this marking point for most Wookiees. The ground level was known as the [[Shadowlands]] and, sometimes, the "notherworld"<ref>''[[The Wookiee Storybook]]''</ref>. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Flora=== |
||
| − | As previously stated, the [[wroshyr tree]]s were the dominant flora. Wroshyr trees may have actually been one large connected organism, as when limbs of two tree limbs ran into each other, they would fuse together. The Wookiees inferred great symbolism in this.<ref>''[[Star Wars Encyclopedia]]''</ref> [[Jolee Bindo]] theorized that the species of wroshyr tree was in fact alien to the planet and was planted there by the [[Infinite Empire]]. This was based on information given by a [[Rakata]] computer left near one of their ancient [[Star Map]]s.<ref name="KOTOR" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | The forests of Kashyyyk were filled with a tremendous variety of plant life, many with some form of consciousness. The Wookiees learned to communicate with these plants and often came to an understanding about their use. One example of this was with the [[Orga]] plants, who allowed the Wookiees to harvest their older roots to use in [[Life Day]] ceremonies. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Most other flora was parasitic to the wroshyr trees, grew in dirt pockets in crevices of the trees, or were carnivorous. |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[File:Can-cell kashyyyk.jpg|left|thumb|200px|A pair of [[can-cell]]s]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | There were at least two types of large carnivorous plants in the lower levels. These included a carnivorous, spiked vine plants, and the infamous [[Syren plant]], which played a crucial role in the coming of age rituals for various Wookiee tribes. Both of these plants were capable of consuming adolescent Wookiees or fully grown [[Human]]s.<ref>''[[Young Jedi Knights: Darkest Knight]]''</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Fauna=== |
||
| − | {{See_also|:Category:Species of Kashyyyk}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | Besides the primary sentient Wookiees, Kashyyyk was home to various species of [[Kashyyyk bantha|bantha]]s, a small population of [[terentatek]]s, and a host of other species. Usually, the deeper into the jungle one went, the more dangerous the animals became. For instance, the tenacious and intelligent [[Kashyyykian giant weaver]]—a giant red-pigmented spiderlike creature—could track prey for over a [[kilometer]] and coordinate with other weavers to organize an ambush. Additionally, many of the species that inhabited the deeper parts of the jungle were capable of bio-phosphorescence, since the deeper layers of the forest were in perpetual darkness. |

| − | [[File:Rwookrrorro-K1concept.jpg|thumb|left|The [[Wookiee]] city of [[Rwookrrorro]] during the [[Jedi Civil War]]]] |
||
| − | Millennia before the rise of the [[Galactic Republic]], Kashyyyk was a member world of the [[Rakata]]n [[Infinite Empire]]. Its surface was terraformed by the Rakata for agricultural purposes, but the collapse of their empire left their [[Star Map|terraforming machines]] unattended, resulting in the planet's abnormally large foliage.<ref name="KOTOR" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Czerka Corporation and Slavery=== |
||
| − | In [[4,020 BBY]], Kashyyyk was discovered by [[Czerka Arms|Czerka Corporation]], which renamed the planet first '''G5-623''' and then, after a poll of stockholders, '''Edean'''. They recognized the Wookiees' strength and began to enslave them. In [[3,993 BBY]] during the [[Great Hunt]], the [[Jedi]] [[Guun Han Saresh]] died on the planet [[Cleansing of Kashyyyk|fighting]] a [[terentatek]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | During the [[Mandalorian Wars]], the [[Mandalorian]]s considered conquering Kashyyyk, although they eventually decided against it; their plans for assault included burning down huge sections of forest and glassing entire continents in order to actually create a place to fight. Sometime after the Mandalorian Wars began, self-exiled Jedi [[Jolee Bindo]] made his home on the forest floor of Kashyyyk. In [[3,976 BBY]], [[Zaalbar]], a Wookiee who later aided Jedi [[Revan]], had been banished from Kashyyyk and his brother, [[Chuundar]], usurped the position of [[Chief]]tain from his father, [[Freyyr]]. Chuundar allowed the [[Czerka Arms|Czerka Corporation]] to take Wookiees as slaves in exchange for weapons. Freyyr went into self-exile to the [[Shadowlands]] of Kashyyyk. Czerka's control of "Edean" was [[Rebellion on Kashyyyk|disrupted]] when, in [[3,956 BBY]], the enslaved Wookiee populace, led by [[Freyyr]] and [[Revan]], overthrew the local corporate headquarters and drove all outsiders off the planet, save for the ''[[Ebon Hawk]]'' crew.<ref name="KOTOR" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Old Republic=== |
||
| − | |||
| − | It was presumably some time after this that Kashyyyk decided to join the [[Galactic Republic]]. The [[Wookiee]]s reverse-engineered the hyperdrive from a [[Trandoshan]] vessel. They were welcomed into the Republic through dealings with the [[Corellia]]ns, [[Verpine]], and [[Alderaan]]ians. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In 1,003 BBY during the [[New Sith Wars]], the planet was [[Battle of Kashyyyk (New Sith Wars)|conquered]] by the [[Brotherhood of Darkness]]. The Sith were then defeated by [[Valenthyne Farfalla]], for which he was honored by the local tribal leaders. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Eventually, Kashyyyk was represented in the [[Galactic Senate]], with [[Senator]] [[Yarua]] being the last Kashyyyk representative prior to the outbreak of the [[Clone Wars]]. The Wookiees colonized both of the major moons of Kashyyyk, as well as other worlds in the system such as [[Alaris Prime]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | A few years after the [[Invasion of Naboo]], the [[Wookiee Trade Guild]] attempted to tax the [[Trade Federation]] for goods passed through the Kashyyyk system. An army of [[B2 super battle droid]]s, led by [[Count]] [[Dooku]], arrived at the Wookiee Trade Guild's headquarters and [[Battle of Kashyyyk (Separatist Crisis)|disbanded]] it. |

||
| − | [[File:Cwkashyyykbattle.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The [[Battle of Kashyyyk (Clone Wars)|Battle of Kashyyyk]] during the end of the [[Clone Wars]]]] |
||
| − | At the start of the [[Clone Wars]], Kashyyyk remained non-aligned. During the [[Dark Reaper Crisis|Dark Reaper Project]] of [[22 BBY]], the [[Force Harvester]] found by Count Dooku on [[Raxus Prime]] was tested on the neighboring world of [[Alaris Prime]], but all of the [[Confederacy of Independent Systems|Separatist]]s were forced off the moon afterward, ending the immediate Separatist threat to the system. A small attack on Kashyyyk itself occurred some time later, but this too was repelled, and Kashyyyk retained its non-aligned posture until eighteen months into the [[Clone Wars]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The decision on what role the planet would play in the conflict laid in the hands of a number of Wookiee [[Kashyyyk Royal Families|Royal Families]], acting through a council dominated by [[King]] [[Grakchawwaa]]. He initially advocated neutrality, engaging in limited negotiations with both the Republic and the [[Confederacy of Independent Systems]], which wished to control [[hyperspace]] route planning and to use the Wookiees' secret trade routes to disrupt Republic trade and communication, giving them the advantage in the war. |
||
| − | |||
| − | However, in [[21 BBY]], [[General]] [[Grievous]] grew tired of waiting and ordered his local [[Neimoidian]] commanders to launch several probe [[droid]]s to help 'persuade' [[Grakchawwaa]] to make the right decision. He was on the verge of agreeing to join the Confederacy out of self-preservation, when news came that his son, [[Prince]] [[Rikummee]], had accidentally been killed by the droids. In anger he allied himself with the Republic, ultimately forcing the Separatists to mount a massive invasion in the closing stages of the war. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In [[19 BBY]], a [[Mission to Kashyyyk (Clone Wars)|rescue mission]] led by [[Jedi General]] [[Etain Tur-Mukan]] and [[RC-1138]], was in process to rescue Chieftain [[Tarfful]] held captive by [[Trandoshan]]s. The mission was carried out by [[Commando]]s of the [[Delta Squad]], where they found more separatist collaboration with the neighboring Trandoshans than they thought, which included the presence of [[General]] [[Grievous]]. In response, the Republic dispatched a task force led by [[Jedi Master|Master]] [[Yoda]] and [[Clone trooper commander|Clone Commander]] [[CC-1004|Gree]] to defend Kashyyyk. At the coastal city of [[Kachirho]], a combined force of [[clone trooper]]s and Wookiees fought against the Separatist droid invaders, with Yoda himself participating in the battle. Despite the overwhelming Separatist forces, the Republic and the Wookiees emerged victorious from the [[Battle of Kashyyyk (Clone Wars)|Battle of Kashyyyk]], though taking very heavy casualties. Not long afterward, the secretly-married Jedi couple of [[Kento Marek|Kento]] and [[Mallie Marek|Mallie]] took refuge to Kashyyyk, and the pregnant Mallie gave birth to [[Galen Marek|Galen]] on Kashyyyk. |

||
| − | |||
| − | However, victory was short-lived for the Wookiees. With the [[Declaration of a New Order|rise]] of the [[Galactic Empire]], the [[Jedi]] were branded enemies of the Republic/Empire as [[Supreme Chancellor]] [[Palpatine]] made himself [[Galactic Emperor|Emperor]] and initiated [[Order 66]]. The clone troopers then [[First Battle of Kashyyyk (Imperial Period)|took control]] of Kashyyyk, killing [[Luminara Unduli]], sending [[Quinlan Vos]] into hiding, and forcing [[Yoda]] to kill [[CC-1004|Gree]] and discreetly escape from the battle on a [[Can-cell]]. Later Yoda escaped the planet, with the help of [[Tarfful]] and [[Chewbacca]] via a former Republic [[Escape pod]]. The Empire was quick to suppress Kashyyyk by renaming it "Wookiee Planet C" (as it was the third orbit in its [[Kashyyyk system|system]]) and placed it under martial law. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Several months later, a group of Jedi including [[Olee Starstone]] went to Kashyyyk to search for the other Jedi who had been there. The Empire, led by [[Anakin Skywalker|Darth Vader]], tracked them and attacked the planet. In response, the Wookiees [[First Battle of Kashyyyk (Imperial Period)|rebelled]] against their oppressors, but were ultimately unsuccessful. Clone troopers attempted to land, but many were shot down by abandoned Confederate weaponry utilized by the Wookiees. Darth Vader landed and killed two Jedi before being stopped by Master [[Roan Shryne]], who also died at Vader's hand. The orbital fleet bombarded the planet, causing severe damage on the surface. Wookiees either escaped into the undergrowth or into space, where they were stopped by a [[Detainer CC-2200 interdictor cruiser]]. Starstone had [[slicer]] [[Filli Bitters]] slice into an abandoned CIS ship and crash it into the interdictor cruiser. Many refugees escaped, including Starstone and her Jedi friends, Filli and his smuggling group, and Chewbacca. The Empire occupied the planet, allowing then-[[Moff]] [[Wilhuff Tarkin]], one of the Imperial commanders that participated in the battle, to capture and export Wookiees as slave labor to [[Despayre]], in order to help construct the [[DS-1 Orbital Battle Station|First Death Star]]. |

||
| − | |||
| − | In [[18 BBY]], [[Mallie Marek]] was killed by the remnant of the [[Battle droid|droid]]s and [[Trandoshan]]s from the [[Battle of Kashyyyk (Clone Wars)|battle a year prior]]. Almost immediately, her death caused [[Palpatine]] to sense [[Kento Marek|Kento]]’s presence on Kashyyyk, thus he sent [[Anakin Skywalker|Vader]] to [[Second Battle of Kashyyyk (Imperial Period)|eliminate]] him. Vader and his troops met heavy resistance from the local Wookiee population, but ultimately the [[501st Legion]] succeeded in crushing the uprising. During the battle, Vader bested and killed Kento Marek. Upon discovering his opponent's son [[Galen Marek]], whom he found to be extremely powerful in the [[The Force|Force]], Vader exterminated all witnesses, including the [[Unidentified Imperial commander (Kashyyyk)|stormtrooper commander]], and went on to train the boy as his secret [[Sith apprentice|apprentice]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | During the occupation, Kashyyyk was opened by the Imperial authorities to slavers from neighboring [[Trandosha]] and [[Mytaranor]]. At the advice of the Trandoshans, the Empire began using the powerful Wookiees to carry out slave labor. Wookiee captives were used for countless Imperial projects, including the [[Maw Installation]]. However, because of their devotion to their homeworld, many Wookiees would evade the Imperial garrison there to revisit their beloved forests for important Wookiee holidays such as [[Life Day]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In [[2 BBY]], Princess [[Leia Organa Solo|Leia Organa]] of [[Alderaan]] was secretly sent by Emperor Palpatine to be held as a hostage on the planet, in order to keep her [[Bail Prestor Organa|adoptive father]] from speaking out against the Empire. Leia was placed under custody of the local commander, Captain [[Ozzik Sturn]], who used to hunt Wookiees for sport, and confined in her private quarters. Eventually, she was [[Mission to Kashyyyk (Great Jedi Purge)|rescued]] by Galen Marek, himself on a mission by Jedi Master [[Rahm Kota]] to track down Bail Organa. Leia promised to reveal the location of her father, but only if Galen was able to destroy a [[skyhook]], which was [[Skyhook (Kashyyyk)|designed]] to transfer Wookiees offworld for slave labor. Galen headed to the construction site, slaying Captain Sturn and destroying the skyhook. According to Galen however, "the Empire would just rebuild it". Grateful for Galen's heroic deeds, Leia informed him that Bail had journeyed to [[Felucia]], causing a chain of events that culminated in the signing of the [[Corellian Treaty]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Later, after Marek's [[Battle on Death Star I|death]] at the hands of Emperor Palpatine, Leia Organa met with Bail Organa, [[Mon Mothma]], [[Garm Bel Iblis]], Rahm Kota, [[Juno Eclipse]] and [[PROXY]]. In which they formed the [[Alliance to Restore the Republic|Rebel Alliance]]. Leia picked a [[Alliance Starbird|symbol]] for the Alliance, the symbol of the Marek family, in a tribute to Galen Marek, his family and his [[Galactic Civil War|victories]] against the Empire. |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[1 BBY|One year]] after the [[Battle of Yavin|destruction]] of the first [[DS-1 Orbital Battle Station|Death Star]], Kashyyyk has been subjected to a long [[Blockade of Kashyyyk|orbital blockade]]. Darth Vader ordered a door-to-door curfew in order to apprehend every Rebel, eventually hoping to get his hands on the crew of the ''[[Millennium Falcon]]''. However, the Imperials were defeated by [[Lumpawaroo]] on [[Rwookrrorro]], and subsequently, the Wookiees, along with the local Alliance members, celebrated [[Life Day]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Moff [[Darcc]], the Imperial governor of Kashyyyk who ruled planet from his private [[Darcc's palace|palace]], forged a pact with the Trandoshan slaver [[Pekt]], appointing him to oversee the entire slaving operation. They have finally installed [[Avatar Orbital Platform]] in orbit of the planet, to help further enslavement of the Wookiees. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===The New Republic=== |
||
| − | After the [[Battle of Endor]], the Wookiees were freed from slavery by the [[Alliance of Free Planets]]. The [[Nagai]] then attempted to enslave the species, but they were repulsed by the [[New Republic]]. |
||
| − | However, Wookiees' freedom was short-lived. The Empire, having licked its wounds, quickly reestablished a presence on Kashyyyk and enslaved the Wookiees once more. Around [[5 ABY]] [[Han Solo]] and Chewbacca assisted in inciting a revolution among the populace, helped in part by [[Lando Calrissian]], [[Rogue Squadron]], and Admiral [[Ackbar]]. Governor Darcc, Pekt and [[Grand Admiral]] [[Peccati Syn]] were killed during the [[Second Battle of Kashyyyk (Galactic Civil War)|battle]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Kashyyyk was represented in the [[New Republic Senate]] by [[Kerrithrarr]], and the planet became a key signatory and member world of the [[Inner Council]]. The planet also welcomed trade, and its city of [[Thikkiiana City|Thikkiiana]] became a major exporter of computer technology. However, this made it a target of the agents of the [[Second Imperium]] in [[23 ABY]]. A task force under [[Zekk]] raided Thikkiiana's computer stores for use by the Second Imperium in its [[Second Imperium Crisis|Post]]-[[Galactic Civil War]] against the New Republic. |

| − | During the [[Yuuzhan Vong War]], Kashyyyk would be an important member world of the New Republic and, later, the [[Galactic Federation of Free Alliances|Galactic Alliance]]. After the [[Second Battle of Coruscant (Yuuzhan Vong War)|retaking of Coruscant]] at the end of the Yuuzhan Vong occupation, celebrations took place on Kashyyyk. |

| − | ====Second Galactic Civil War==== |
||
| − | It later refused to follow [[Chief of State]] [[Darth Caedus|Jacen Solo]] and sheltered the [[Jedi]], who had declared themselves against Solo, so it was [[Battle of Kashyyyk (Second Galactic Civil War)|attacked]] by his fleet as a result. Solo's flagship, the ''[[Anakin Solo (starship)|Anakin Solo]]'', began targeting the Kashyyyk forests with its long-range turbolasers, starting a firestorm that would claim the lives of many Wookiees and burn huge amounts of forest. The [[Confederation]] redirected fleets from the [[Battle of Kuat (Second Galactic Civil War)|Battle of Kuat]] to help the Wookiees, resulting in the eventual defeat of the Galactic Alliance forces, although they managed to escape, due to a tactical blunder by the Confederation Fleet. As a result, Kashyyyk joined the [[Jedi Coalition]], though it did not join the [[Confederation]].<ref name="Inferno 1">''[[Inferno]]''</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ====Second Imperial Civil War==== |
||
| − | [[Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire]] saw danger in Wookiees, but knew better than to enslave the entire species like the previous [[Galactic Empire]] did. Instead it cut them off from the rest of the galaxy by having Kashyyyk blockaded and all Wookiee spaceports and shipyards destroyed. No Wookiees were allowed to leave or visit Kashyyyk without an Imperial order and [[HoloNet]] transmissions to the planet were completely cut off. Supplies and traders still could come and go, after swearing under penalty of death not to provide Wookiees with information of the state of the rest of [[the galaxy]], but the Wookiees themselves were completely isolated and largely left alone throughout the region.<ref name="LECG">''[[Legacy Era Campaign Guide]]''</ref> |

| − | The original drafts of ''[[Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi|Return of the Jedi]]'' called for the [[Death Star II|second Death Star]] to be built in orbit around Kashyyyk by Wookiee slave labor. It wasn't until later drafts that the setting and characters were changed to the forest moon of [[Endor]] and [[Ewok]]s. |

| − | The planet was introduced in [[1978]] in ''The Star Wars Holiday Special'', and was finally realized on the big-screen in [[2005]] in ''Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith''. When author [[Timothy Zahn]] included the Wookiee homeworld in his novel ''[[Heir to the Empire]]'', he intended to name it "Rwookrrorro", unaware that it had already been named. Upon learning that it was named Kashyyyk, Zahn suggested "Rwookrrorro" could be the indigenous name for the planet, but this idea was rejected. Zahn used the name instead for a specific city on Kashyyyk.<ref name="HTTE20">''[[Heir to the Empire|Heir to the Empire 20th Anniversary Edition]]''</ref> |

| − | In the Super Nintendo ''[[Super Star Wars]]'' games, Chewbacca is listed to have come from Kazhyyyk. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Some believe there is a contradiction between the portrayal of Kashyyyk in the EU and its portrayal in ''Revenge of the Sith''. While the former (pre-ROTS EU) portrayed Kashyyyk as a planet with inhabitants living only in trees and never descending to the ground, the latter portrays the planet as having oceans and coasts, with its inhabitants living on the ground. This alleged contradiction could be easily explained in that ROTS only showed a small part of the planet, and that it doesn't necessarily represent the layout of the entire planet. Additionally, ''[[The Han Solo Trilogy]]'' (specifically, ''[[Rebel Dawn]]'') mentions that Kashyyyk has coasts. |

| − | [[Phuket]] in [[Wikipedia:Thailand|Thailand]] and [[Guilin]] in [[Wikipedia:China|China]], were the locations scouted for ''[[Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith]]'', to capture plate photography for backdrops on the planet Kashyyyk. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The PC game ''[[Star Wars: Rebellion (video game)|Star Wars: Rebellion]]'' mistakenly places Kashyyyk in the [[Sumitra sector]] of the [[Outer Rim Territories|Outer Rim]]. |

| − | ''Kashyyyk'' has been [[Wikipedia:International Phonetic Alphabet for English|pronounced]] many different ways. In its first appearance in ''[[The Star Wars Holiday Special]]'', it was pronounced /kəˈzuk/. In the video games ''[[Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic]]'' and ''[[Star Wars: Republic Commando]]'', among others, it is pronounced /'kæʃɨk/. The G-[[canon]] pronunciation, heard in ''[[Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith]]'', is /kəˈʃik/. This pronunciation is also heard in ''[[Star Wars: Empire at War]]''. ''[[Star Wars: Battlefront II]]''{{'s}} pronunciation is essentially a combination of the previous two: /kæˈʃik/. |
