Boonta
a planet known for its organized speeder races, Boonta was also the site of an orbiting scrap yard. For many centuries, the planet was known as Ko Vari. It was later renamed Boonta in honor of Boonta the Hutt. Many sports historians believed that the Boonta Eve Classic podrace originated on this planet, before gaining prominence on Tatooine. Sise Fromm employed Boba Fett to eliminate Thall Joben during a race there, but the attempt was foiled when a bomb - planted by Fromm's gang - was exploded near Fett's speeder. Fett, angry that he had missed a chance to kill Joben, took Fromm and his gang hostage and turned them over to Jabba the Hutt.
