Dilonexa XXIII
Located in the Dilonexa system, Dilonexa XXIII orbits a giant blue-white
star along with 39 other planets. Dilonexa XXIII is the only world
capable of supporting life, as the inner 22 are far too hot and the
outer 17 too cold. The planet is nearly 25,000 kilometers in diameter,
but its lack of heavy metals gives it a tolerable gravity. Dilonexa
XXIII is entirely given over to agriculture. Its farms stretch across
the entire surface of the planet, providing foodstuffs, plastics, fuels,
and grain for the herds of native bovine. Weather- controlling
satellites in orbit help keep the city-sized tornadoes in check with
energy weaponry. All heavy metals must be imported to the planet, and
the Dinonexican colonists (wealthy, successful farmers) have developed
an allergic reaction to foods containing too many trace metals. Lando
Calrissian made a run to Dilonexa XXIII, trying to unload a useless (on
Dilonexa) cargo of fishing poles, leather hides, and wintenberry jelly.

Dimok
One of the two primary worlds of the Sepan system, with the planet
Ripoblus. The long war between Dimok and Ripoblus was forcibly ended by
the intervention of Imperial forces after the Battle of Hoth, though the
two worlds briefly (and unsuccessfully) tried to unite against the
Empire as their common foe. [TSC]
Dles IV
The Trandoshan criminal Nakaron, after killing an undercover Alliance
agent, was captured and scheduled to be incarcerated in the Republic
detention facility on Dles IV. Nakaron, however, hijacked the shuttle
and took its crew hostage. [SWAJ]
Dohu VII
The seventh of eight planets in the Dohu system. The three-armed,
living-rock aliens called Silika can be found on the planet. The
smuggler Dannen Lifehold traveled to Dohu VII to pick up a shipment in
the city of Skagras, where he first met his Tinnell companion Purr.

Doldur sector
The Doldur sector contains the Doldur system, the Monor system, the
Dragonflower Nebula, and the hidden outpost of Silver Station. [SWAJ]
Doldur
Doldur, located in the sector and system of the same name, is an
Imperially-controlled world and site of the Doldur Spaceport. The planet
is also the personal territory of Imperial Moff Eisen Kerioth. Kerioth,
who had been sponsoring research into anti-blaster energy shields on
Doldur, tried to steal the prototype shield developed by I'att Armament
on Druckenwell so he could claim it as his own. [SWAJ]
Dolomar sector
The Dolomar sector was one target in an offensive by Grand Admiral
Thrawn. The New Republic put up stiff resistance in this and the Farrfin
sectors, and Admiral Ackbar personally made a tour of the defenses in
both these areas. [TLC]
Dom-Bradden
Located in the Outer Rim, Dom-Bradden (sometimes called Bradden) is the
homeworld of the alien species known as Affytechans. Affytechans, a
sentient form of plant life, have high, musical voices and bodies
composed of thousands of colorful petals, tendrils, and stalks. While
they appear quite beautiful, the Affytechans stink of ammonia and musk.
The Imperial battlemoon Eye of Palpatine stopped at Dom- Bradden to pick
up a contingent of stormtroopers, but brought in a group of Affytechans
instead. [COTJ]
Dosha
The homeworld of the warlike, reptilian Trandoshan species. Trandoshan
society is run by a strict class system, and points of interest on the
planet include the Lorpfan deserts. Lanish Ran, an undercover Alliance
agent, once posed as an Imperial technician in a repair facility located
on Banir Avenue in the Doshan city of Forak. The bounty hunter Bossk is
one infamous Trandoshan. [ESB, SWAJ]
Douglas III
The home of the animal known as the jackelope. A taxidermized specimen
is displayed in the Poly Pyramid tavern on Rafa IV. [LCMH]
Dra III
A high-gravity world known for its dangerous native lifeforms and its
sport hunting. The inhabitants of Dra III tend to be heavier and
stronger due to the planet's higher gravity. The famous hunting beasts
of Dra III include the vicious six-legged nashtahs (also called Dravian
Hounds) that inhabit the planet's mountains. Nashtahs, the only animals
from the planet to have yet been domesticated, are also the planet's
most thoroughly studied animal, since the first contact team to escape
from Dra III alive managed to kill several of the beasts and return with
their bodies. The powerful (though somewhat outdated) Kell Mark II
blaster is one planetary export. [HSR, HSLL, CSSB]
Drackmar system
A system with multiple suns and home to the alien Drackmarians.
Drackmarians are methane-breathers with blue scales, sharp talons, and
snouts filled with vicious teeth. Members of this species do not sleep,
and are noted for their generosity and their stubborn independence. The
Drackmarians were fierce opponents of the Empire and are now very
loosely aligned with the New Republic. Omogg, a wealthy warlord from the
Drackmar system, lost the planet Dathomir to Han Solo in a sabacc game
on Coruscant. [COPL]
Dragonflower Nebula
Located in the Doldur sector, the Dragonflower Nebula is a pink aurora
containing five dark, pulsing vertices. A mining outpost was once
established near the Nebula to exploit its valuable gasses, which grew
to become Silver Station. [SWAJ]
Drall
One of the five inhabited worlds in the Corellian system, Drall is a
pleasant, temperate planet with a lighter gravity than standard. During
the summer, temperatures can reach levels high enough to cause portions
of the landlocked Boiling Sea to actually boil, until it is cooled by
winter precipitation. The planet is the homeworld of the short, furred
aliens also known as Drall. The tidy, sensible Drall formerly hibernated
during Drall's winter season, though most have abandoned the practice
today. The species is known for its cautious nature, its honesty, and
its meticulous skill at record-keeping. The planetary unit of currency
is the Drallish crown. Other life on the planet includes the nannarium
flower and many varied species of Drallish aviars. A vast, subterranean
planetary repulsor is located near Drall's equator-- presumably used in
ancient times to move the planet into its current orbit from an unknown
location. One of the workers in the contract-labor mining camp on
Dellalt was a Drall.
During his tenure with the Corellian Security Force, Rogue Squadron
pilot Corran Horn planted a false report implying that he had murdered
six smugglers on Drall. The report was created so Horn and his
supervisor could stage a public falling-out and remove suspicions of
their working together to flee the Empire, but an Imperial death warrant
was issued on Horn for the imaginary crime. During the starbuster crisis
fourteen years after the Battle of Endor, Chewbacca took the Solo
children and their tutor Ebrihim to Drall to stay with Ebrihim's aunt,
the Duchess Marcha of Mastigophorous. The group discovered Drall's
planetary repulsor, and Anakin Solo instinctively made it operational. A
shot from the repulsor, fired by Anakin Solo, disabled Centerpoint
Station and saved the star Bovo Yagen from destruction at the last
possible instant. After the crisis, Leia Organa Solo was planning to
appoint Duchess Marcha as the new Governor General of the Corellian
sector. [AAC, AAS, SAC, HSLL, XWRS]
Draukyze system
A single Star Destroyer made a hit-and-fade attack on the Draukyze
system several months before Grand Admiral Thrawn made a similar attack
on Bpfassh. Later, New Republic support ships positioned themselves on
the edge of the system to give the false impression they were planning
to attack Tangrene. [HTTE, TLC]
Dreena
An uninhabited world in the Hapes cluster. Prince Isolder spent time on
Dreena as a child, playing in the pure oceans of the planet. [COPL]
Droecil
The location of a small Rebel Alliance cell. The region of space called
Keller's Void serves as a shortcut between Droecil and the Calus system.
[SWAJ]
Droma sector
Following the Battle of Yavin, an Alliance A-wing was sent to the Droma
sector to confirm delivery of a poisoned grain cargo to a waiting
Imperial frigate. [FP]
Druckenwell
Located in the Mid-Rim, Druckenwell is an industrialized, overpopulated
urban world run by corporate guilds. Druckenwell's crowded cities are
divided by wide oceans, and almost all of the planet's available land
has been developed. Therefore, great care has recently been taken to
reduce the risk of pollution and to protect the planet's few remaining
resources. Druckenwell's 9.3 billion people are mostly workers for the
planet's massive corporations who live in its congested metropolises.
The strictly planned cities have specific zones for different worker
classes-- blue-collar districts, business offices, industrial areas, and
a few pleasant parks and gardens for the corporate elite. Druckenwell's
strict population laws specify that no couples may marry until they can
prove their fiscal independence.
The city of Il Avali includes Happy's Landing tavern and the I'att
Armament complex, where a personal shielding device to protect
stormtrooper armor from blaster fire was developed. When Imperial Moff
Eisen Kerioth tried to claim the energy shield as his own invention just
prior to the Battle of Yavin, Tinian I'att (young heiress of the I'att
Corporation) escaped with the shielding device components and fled
Druckenwell with the help of Twilit Hearth's musical band. Tinian's
lover Daye Azur-Jamin managed to destroy the I'att Armament complex and
its Imperial invaders, but was almost killed in the effort. Druckenwell
is also home to the corporate offices for SGI Systems Inc., a major
producer of black-market assassin droid components. Sometime after the
Battle of Yavin, Imperial officials nationalized SGI Systems along with
several other droid corporations, giving them control of the Mid-Rim
droid market. [SWAJ]
Drudonna
One of the two largest moons orbiting the planet Bespin. Drudonna and
its larger sister moon H'gaard are known together as The Twins. The moon
is only two and a half kilometers in diameter. Both are unremarkable ice
satellites, and appear as large green spheres in Bespin's night sky.
Shirmar Base, a staging area and processing center for Ugnaught
expeditions into Velser's Ring, is located on Drudonna. [GG2]
Dufilvan sector
Grand Admiral Thrawn's forces launched a multiple attack on various
targets in the Abrion and Dufilvan sectors. The planet Ukio was
captured, and the New Republic base on Ord Pardron suffered heavy
damage. [TLC]
Duluur sector
The location of the Duluur Sector Imperial Naval Academy. [SWAJ]
Durgeon
The notorious bounty hunter Beylyssa single-handedly wiped out the
Alliance cell on Durgeon, after tracking the group for months. [SWAJ]
Duroon
Duroon, a grey-skied world in the Corporate Sector, is the site of a
major Authority installation that uses slave labor. Duroon has three
moons, and its surface is dotted with lush jungles located between
volcanic vents and fissures. Animal life in the jungles includes an
unusual, harmless ball-like creature. The ball creatures, also called
"bouncebeasts," have become popular pets on many worlds. Han Solo
participated in a gun-running operation to the alien slaves on Duroon.
[HSSE, CSSB]
Duros
A terrestrial planet in the Duro system, Duros (sometimes referred to as
Duro) is the homeworld of the alien species also known as Duros. The
Duros have been traveling space for thousands of years, and the Duro
system is filled with vast, orbiting cities and many smaller depots and
shipyards. The system is governed by a group of starship corporations,
and political decisions are made by their stockholders. The planet Duros
is primarily uninhabited, and is covered with automated farms that help
feed the inhabitants of the space cities. Animal life on the planet once
included a now-extinct cannibal arachnid. Han Solo's ancestor Korol
Solo, a pretender to the throne of Corellia, married and fathered a son
on Duros. The planet Pii 3, in the Pii system, was once home to seventh
Duro Relocation Colony, which was abandoned when its Duros settlers
became restless and returned to the stars. [TLC, COPL, GG4, DA, SWAJ]
Dxun
Dxun, also called the "Demon Moon," is one of four moons orbiting the
planet Onderon. Its thick jungles are home to numerous bloodthirsty
monsters and, due to Dxun's erratic orbit, many of the creatures are
able to migrate to the surface of Onderon during an annual period in
which the two worlds' atmospheres intersect. Four thousand years ago,
after the evil Queen Amanda of Iziz was defeated by the Jedi, the
inhabitants of Onderon built a Mandalorian iron tomb on Dxun to house
the remains of their Queen and of the Dark Jedi Freedon Nadd. The fallen
Jedi Exar Kun later visited the tomb, where the spirit of Nadd helped
him discover some hidden Sith scrolls. Later, at the end of the Sith
War, the warrior clans of Mandalore fled to Dxun after failing in their
attempt to capture Onderon. Their leader was killed by a pair of the
Dxun beasts, and a new warrior assumed the mantle of Mandalore. [TOTJ,
