Legend

this crystalline planet was located in a moderately dense region of the Ivax Nebula, found in the Anoat Sector of the galaxy. Isis was the site of an Alliance starfighter construction facility during the Galactic Civil War. The planet was the homeworld of the Gutretee, a race of crystalline humanoids. It was located beyond the fringe of Imperial space, and was first explored by an Alderaanian scouting expedition. Bail Organa kept the planet's location a secret, fearing that Palpatine's growing wrath against Old Republic supporters would require desparate measures. When his fears were realized, Organa began hiding the families of prominent Republic supporters on Isis. The newcomers with met with gruff acceptance by most Gutretee, and a cooperation between them grew into the starfighter facility. The planet itself is a huge world, covered with translucent mountains and refractive spires. It was nearly discovered by Imperial forces when the crew of the Imperial survey vessel Wanderer crashed on the planet. They tried to escape back to the Imperial base on Miser by hijacking the Handree, but were intercepted by Alliance agents.
