Description
A volcanic world on the Rimma Trade Route in the Outer Rim, Sullust is home to millions of the galaxy's best navigators—and one massive multistellar conglomerate.
From space, Sullust looks uninhabitable. Multicolored rock, veined by glowing lava channels, covers the entire globe, with great gusts of smoky ash causing regular atmospheric blackouts. But it's a different story below the surface: a whole warren of tunnels into delicate hibbin gardens with pools of potable water. It was here that the Sullustan species evolved, developing wide eyes to collect faint light and large ears to perceive directional sound. Sullustans also acquired an innate sense of direction, which served them well when they joined the interstellar community.
Sullustans helped blaze the full length of the Rimma, finding ready work as scouts, pilots, and hyperspace mappers. Commerce along the Rimma disproportionately enriched one Sullustan corporation, SoroSuub, and it soon swelled into a monopolistic juggernaut involved in everything from aquapedes to nutrient paste.
By the time of the Clone Wars, SoroSuub's influence had grown so strong that the president of the Sullustan Council bowed to the company's Commerce Guild ties and signed on with Count Dooku's Confederacy of Independent Systems. Sullustan Admiral Dua Ningo led the Separatists' Bulwark Fleet and scored a historic victory at the Battle of Foerost.
At the war's conclusion, the SoroSuub board of directors repositioned themselves as Imperial loyalists, toppling Sullust's President in a corporate coup. A local resistance movement arose—aided by pirate flier Nien Nunb—which succeeded in breaking SoroSuub's governmental control around the time of the Battle of Yavin.
Sullust never joined the Rebel Alliance, and the Empire used it as a jumping-off point for construction traffic traveling the Sanctuary Pipeline en route to the second Death Star. Just prior to the Battle of Endor, the Rebel fleet gathered in the Sullust system to use that same Pipeline as an attack corridor, obscuring its true intentions by staging a minor raid on Sullust itself.
