Verdanth
a jungle planet used by Darth Vader as bait to capture Alliance personnel. R2-D2 and C-3PO were sent to the planet to investigate a crashed Imperial shuttle, which was left there by Vader. They activated a proximity drone, which was meant to keep Alliance personnel at bay until Vader, notified by a signal from the drone, could recover them. The drone also activates a force field that contains the prey for transport to the Executor for probing by Vader. Luke Skywalker tried to recover the droids, but was captured by Vader. He was later rescued by R2-D2 and Han Solo before Vader could take control of him.
