Background: Occupying the second orbit in its system,
Arbra had one moon. Unlike most planets, it was not a
spherical world. The world was located in the Outer Rim
Territories, approximately midway between Omwat and
Naboo.
From the air, Arbra looked like any other
undeveloped forest world, covered mostly with trees—
some up to a mile in height—with the occasional
mountain jutting up and lakes and small seas filling
what space was left. There was no trace of technology
on the world's surface, causing many observers to
assume it lacked intelligent life.
Despite the tranquil appearance of the surface,
hidden deep within a huge cavern was a vast array of
geothermal power rods that drew energy from the
planet's core. The geothermal energy was then
transformed into electricity and released into the
atmosphere as high-altitude lightning, thus regulating
the planet's stability. It was also the primary food
source for the native Hoojibs, a species that consumed
energy directly. Some believed the energy stemmed
from the the Force, somehow balancing out the dark
side energy well in the ancient Arbran city lying
underneath the cavern.
The native Hoojibs were small, furry lagomorphs
with large eyes, and a slender antenna-like stalk on top
of their heads. Hoojibs appeared, at first glance, to be
merely small forest animals, but were actually sentien
beings who consumed energy as their primary food
source and communicated telepathically.
