Legend

this planet was one of many worlds that was devastated by the fighting that took place during the Clone Wars. A swamp-covered planet dominated by steamy jungles, Drongar was originally discovered by a Nikto survey team some 200 years before the Battle of Geonosis. It was the innermost world in a four-planet system, and was orbited by a pair ot tiny moons. Drongar was one of many worlds that seemingly had nothing important to offer either the Old Republic or the Confederacy of Independent Systems, although both sides fought valiantly to control the bota which grew on the planet. The surface of the planet was continually whipped by monsoons and rainstorms, which dumped more water onto the planet's surface and maintained a cycle of humidity and heat that refuled more storms. The average temperature on Drongar was usually around the normal body temperature of a human, making it unconfortable at best. Making matters worse, the atmosphere of the planet was usually laden with a variety of adaptogenic, fungal spores, many of which caused spore sickness or other problems in humanoid races. The oxygen levels in the atmosphere were also higher than normal, which may have contributed to the changes the spores go through when airborne. Some of the spores were autoluminescent, and glowed at night, giving Drongar a weird half-dark whenever the concentration of spores was great enough. The entire ecosystem of the planet seemed to be one large organism, as scientist discovered that the many adaptogenic mutations that occurred in some species seemed to be tied to other mutations that occurred planetwide.
