Background: Batuu was a remote outpost planet on
the edge of the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories, one that
was often used as a last stop before entering Wild
Space. The outpost dated back to the years prior to the
use of hyperspace in the galaxy.
Batuu was a temperate planet, one covered with
forests and mountains, that was located on the edge of
the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories. The planet was
known for its many towering petrified trees, with those
spires becoming landmarks for settlers. The world was
the location of Black Spire Outpost that became a haven
for those looking to avoid attracting too much attention
to themselves.
Batuu was a prominent trade post in the time
before the invention of hyperspace travel. It was used
as a busy crossroads for those who traveled on sublightspeed trade routes. However, after hyperspace
routes became the dominant form of transportation,
the planet was bypassed by most travelers. It became a
port for smugglers, rogue traders, and adventurers who
traveled from the galactic frontier to unknown space.
