Legend

this planet was the largest of the worlds in the Uziel System. Much of the planet was covered by deserts and high, rocky plateaus. During the last decades of the Old Republic, Vanqor's human population began to assert control over the rest of the inhabited worlds in the system. The Vanqors subjugated all worlds but Typha-Dor before the Jedi Knights were asked to intervene. The planet was known for its native population of gundarks, which were a bit more menacing than the standard gundark found throughout the galaxy. Obi-Wan Kenobi stumbled into a nest of these gundarks during his mission to mediate a cessation to the Vanqors' invasions, and had to be rescued by his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, several years prior to the Battle of Geonosis. Vanqor was orbited by a pair of reddish moons, which orbited the planet in tandem.
