Legend

this water-poor planet was the second world in the Rampa System, and was located in the Corporate Sector. Han Solo sustained a fair amount of damage to the Millennium Falcon while trying to smuggle water there, during the early years of the New Order. The planet had been industrialized to the point that its ecosystem had been destroyed, requiring that the population be contained in a small area. The population was sustained with synthetic nutrients and poorly-recycled water. An Imperial outpost was located here, during the early years of the New Order, which was attacked by rebellious agents. The attack forced Moff Sarn Shild to disregard his agreements with the Hutts and issue orders to bring down any smuggling activity in the Hutt sectors of space. Rampa II and its sister planet, Rampa I, were quickly subjugated by the Empire for their insurrections.
