Legend

this desolate Outer Rim planet was the site of an experimental mining colony, established in the years following the death of Emperor Palpatine's clones at Byss. Attempts had been made to colonize the world for several thousand years, but all had failed. The weather on Corbos is extreme, and the ore-processing facility had to be established in low orbit in order to keep it from being destroyed by storms. This meant that the ores produced on Corbos generated very little profit for the miners. In what is known as the Black Rain season, the planet is drenched in a heavy, acidic rain that prohibits any outdoor work. It was here that the miners discovered a species of incredibly huge, Force-sensitive creatures that wiped out the entire population of 793 colonists and required several of the new Jedi Knights to defeat. Tionne discovered that the creature was responsible for many of the destroyed colonies. The planet is orbited by two moons.
