Planetary Information

*Sarapin is a volcanic world in the Sarapin system, between Neimoidia and the Treskov system. The majority of its terrain is characterized by ashy soil, volcanoes, and streams of lava flowing across its surface. There is no naturally occurring water on the surface of the planet. Historically, this planet became the prime energy provider for both the Galactic Republic and the Galactic Empire. Sarapin was mostly inhospitable, save for the hardy , which are known to drain the energy from prey. It also has at least two moons on which vaapad can also be found. Sarapin had ancient, mysterious Jedi ruins. The Republic once held large operations with the intention of harnessing the power of its many active volcanoes and lava flows. Its laser drills were an impressive sight, reaching a height of forty meters. The energy was tapped by energy collectors and moved to an Energy Collection Repository, for eventual shipment off-world. Count Dooku estimated that during the later years of the Republic, Sarapin provided 80 percent of the Core Worlds' power.*
