Legend

this dense forest, located near the city of Kachirho on the planet Kashyyyk, was inhabited by a colony of webweavers. Kkowir Forest became known as the Dead Forest for two reasons. First, it was a desolate area that had been once been lush, but was infected with some plant disease that rendered the jungle a sickly gray in color. Much of the jungle died out, and any new growth was quickly consumed by the disease. Secondly, the Kkowir Forest was home to a number of webweavers and other creatures that usually killed and ate any being who dared to travel through it. A group of Wookiees, known as the Dead Guard, protected the access points to the forest from the city of Kachiro, in an effort to ensure the safety of their people.
