Legend

this planet was located in the Core Worlds, and was the fourth planet in the Belgaroth System. Located on the edge of the Core, Belgaroth was a rugged world which was dominated by mountain ranges and rocky tors. Two large oceans of mustard-brown water broke up the landmass, and a single city - Belgar - provided homes for the planet's inhabitants. The planet's inhabitants were known as Belgarians, as was just about everything else on the planet. Seasons were defined by how wet or cold they were, and very few beings ever traveled to Belgaroth without a good reason. It was first settled some 600 years before the Battle of Naboo, and was named for Belgar Overlord and Roth Skimm, the two explorers who discovered it. When the Empire took control of the galaxy, Belgaroth was chosen as a tesing ground for new weaponry, and its moons, Tregan and Tyrel, bore the brunt of manmy long-range weapons.
