Legend

this planet was located in the Lytton Sector of the galaxy. It had very little axial tilt, so its climate is very stable. It was a lush, tropical world with no natural predators. It was first scanned by Old Republic explorers nearly a thousand years before the Battle of Yavin, and the wealthy citizens of the Core have been coming to Spira for a long time. At one point during the height of the New Order, it was estimated that there were 4,527 luxury hotels available on the planet. Its surface is mostly ocean, broken here and there by chains of islands. Weapons are forbidden on the planet. The average day on Spira lasted about 25 standard hours, and its year encompassed 377 local days. An ancient shipwreck was located west of The Point, a remnant from a time before the planet was first settled. No one knew who owned the ship or why it crashed, but over the years the wreck was salvaged for parts and left as an artificial reef.
