Mataou
this desert planet was located in the Anoat Sector of the galaxy, on the edge of the Ivax Nebula. Because of its location in relation to Ison, Mataou served as the primary jump-off for ships traveling Coreward from the outer end of the Corellian Trade Spine to the Ison Corridor. The Mataou Fuel Station also provided refueling facilities for starships moving along the Spine. Much of the planet's economy was based on the sale of ro hypa venom, and the snake wranglers who lived on its fiery surface claimed to be the toughest beings in the galaxy.
