Legend

the third planet in the Churba sector, New Cov was once the sight of a Bothan battle with a Victory-class Star Destroyer during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. This event marked the only documented instance of a Bothan-only battle with the Empire. New Cov had no indigenous sentient species, but it was a jungle world teeming of plant life and valuable natural resources. The planet's cities were walled and domed to protect them from the dangers of the surrounding environment. The planet's primary industry revolved around the jungle's exotic flora, which produced various biomolecules with commerical value. However, many of the plants adapted to this threat and became dangerous to the harvesters. The planet had a normal rotational period of about 27 hours, and it's year lasted 301 local days.
