Legend

planet on which Han Solo and Leia Organa-Solo "hide" their children during the early years of the New Republic. It is really three fragments on an ancient planet which was destroyed eons ago, and is held together by gravity, orbiting a common center of mass. Two fragments orbit in close proximity, and are virtually uninhabitable. The third fragment is separated from the other two, and is capable of supporting life. Thus, many system cartographers consider Anoth to be the third planet in the Anoth System. The three planetary fragments orbit a small, white dwarf sun. The Anoth fragment has a day which lasts fourteen standard hours, and orbits its sun every 286 local days. Winter took care of the children there, and worked with Admiral Ackbar and Luke Skywalker to prepare defenses. The fortress was breached by Ambassador Furgan's troops, who used MT-ATs to break down the barriers and gain entrance. The base was abandoned for some years after Furgan's attack was thwarted, to see whether knowledge of the planet became widespread. When it didn't Han and Leia began to refurbish the base as a private, well-defended retreat.
