Fakir sector
An Imperial treasury ship and its corvette escort were severely damaged
by six Rebel X-wings in the Fakir sector. In addition, Alliance
historian Voren Na'al took the cover of a special agent for the Moff of
the Fakir sector during his infiltration of the Imperial data storage
net on Halowan. [SWS, MTS]
Farboon
The world of Farboon appears green, blue and white when seen from space.
While at Farboon, TIE pilot Maarek Stele rescued Admiral Mordon's
shuttle from an attacking group of Rebel X- and Y-wing fighters. [TSC]
Farfeld II
Farfeld II is located in the Farfeld system. A System Patrol Squadron
base for Imperial corvettes near the planet was destroyed by the
Alliance in the time following the Battle of Yavin. [FP]
Farrfin sector
The Farrfin sector was one target in an offensive by Grand Admiral
Thrawn. The New Republic put up stiff resistance in this and the Dolomar
sectors, and Admiral Ackbar personally made a tour of the defenses in
both these areas. [TLC]
Fedje
A forested planet on which Han Solo spent some time as part of his
Alliance duties. During the New Republic's retreat from Generis, there
was hope that Wing Commander Varth had escaped and was able to hook up
with a unit at Fedje. [TLC]
Feenicks VI
An Imperial System Patrol Squadron base near Feenicks VI was eliminated
by an Alliance strike team in the time following the Battle of Yavin.
[FP]
Fef
A moderately large planet orbiting an orange-yellow star, Fef is the
homeworld of the insectoid Fefze. Fef's thick atmosphere and hot
temperature contribute to its teeming variety of lifeforms, all of whom
have relatively short life-spans. The Fefze, who form intelligent
group-minds (called "swarms") of 10 to 100 individuals, are able to
digest all forms of carbon-based organic matter. Due to the abundance of
food available to the Fefze and their lack of dexterous manipulative
appendages, they have not developed technological skills and Fef has few
exports. Fef does receive tourists who come to view the famed Fefze
dance swarms. [GG4]
Fere
The Fere (also called Feree) system contains a double star. Two hundred
years ago, the planet Fere was home to an advanced alien culture of
tall, pale humanoids with six-fingered hands. They were also master
starship builders, and some of their small luxury cruisers can still be
found in the galaxy today. During a series of wars, someone accidentally
carried a deadly plague to Fere which killed all life on the world.

Ferrhast
New Republic operative Shandria L'hnnar attended the famous Imperial
Institute of Higher Studies on Ferrhast. [SWAJ]
Ferros VI
The location of an Imperial prison camp. [DSTC]
Fest
Fest, located in the system of the same name, is in the Atrivis sector
of the Outer Rim and borders the Mantooine system. An Imperial Weapons
Research Facility, hidden in a steep mountain range, was located on Fest
and performed metallurgical research on new alloys. Following the Battle
of Yavin, Alliance agent Kyle Katarn infiltrated the facility and stole
a sample of the metal Phrik, used in armoring the Dark Troopers. The
Fest system was also home to a resistance group opposing the Empire.
[DF, FP]
Fibuli
Fibuli, containing the city of Knanan, is one of the Trianii colony
worlds that was annexed by the adjacent Corporate Sector. Open warfare
erupted as the famous Trianii Rangers fought the CSA's encroachment on
their territory. An armistice was finally announced between the Trianii
and the CSA sometime after the Battle of Yavin, following three years of
devastating battles. The Trianii Ranger Atuarre's mate, Keeheen,
disappeared during the fighting and was eventually rescued, with Han
Solo's help, from the Stars' End prison. [CSSB, SWAJ]
Fiddanl
The innermost planet of the Yavin system. Fiddanl is a hot, dense world
whose continental plates constantly shift atop a sea of liquid mercury.
The planet's eighteen landmasses, which can move as much as 630
kilometers a day, constantly grind each other down but are continually
replaced through rapid crystal growth. The multicolored continents get
their hues from a varied mix of Cinnabar, sulfite, and manganese, and
Fiddanl's high gravity keeps the shifting land relatively flat. The
planet's atmosphere, though relatively free from storms and other
disturbances, is toxic to almost all species. There are no indications
of life on Fiddanl's surface. The name "Fiddanl" seems to have been
given to the planet by a Nuiwit clerk in the Imperial Xenodetic Survey
department. [GG2]
Filve
Filve was targeted by the Star Destroyer Judicator in a multi-pronged
attack by Grand Admiral Thrawn intended to draw New Republic forces away
from Ukio. At the same time, Leia Organa Solo was planning to visit the
Filvian government to assure them of New Republic support. When she
arrived during the battle, Joruus C'baoth sent the entire Imperial
strike force after the Millennium Falcon in a vain attempt to capture
her. [TLC]
Findris
Located in the Colonies Region, Findris is home to several anti-Empire
underground organizations, the most violent of which was the Justice
Action Network (JAN) terrorist group led by Earnst Kamiel. Kamiel was
caught on Eldrood after the Battle of Yavin and extradited to the
Haldeen sector for Imperial trial. [SWAJ]
Firrerre
All life on the planet Firrerre was wiped out through the Empire's use
of a biological weapon, and it is still unsafe for any ships to land
there. The devastation was ordered by Hethrir, the Imperial Procurator
of Justice (himself a native of Firrerre) and carried out by the
Empire's elite Starcrash Brigade. The people of Firrerre, humanoids with
long, striped hair, were believed to have been rendered extinct by the
death of their world, though Leia Organa Solo discovered a
passenger-freighter carrying many of its natives in suspended animation.
The highest waterfall on Firrerre reaches 1,263 meters. [TCS]
Firro
Many deaths and atrocities were committed on Firro during its brutal
subjugation by the Empire, and Lord Cuvir was installed as Imperial
Governor of Firro. During a visit to a Firro relief station, Cuvir
witnessed the skill of Imperial medical droid Too-Onebee and made the
droid his personal physician. Too-Onebee has since joined the Alliance.

F'la Ren
A blue-white star orbited by F'tral, home of the Iyra. [GG4]
Flax
Flax, home to the insectoid alien species called Flakax, is located in
the Ptera system. Flax is covered by oceans but much of the land is
desert, due to high mountain ranges which prevent atmospheric
transference of moisture from the seas. The emotionless Flakax live in
underground hives, and their lives are spent in continual devotion to
the hive and its queen. Flax has no notable technologies or exports,
other than the skilled labor provided by the Flakax. After the planet
was taken over by the Empire the Flakax were put to work mining Flax's
underground minerals. [GG4]
Foerost
The site of a vast Republic orbital shipyard, one of the oldest and most
successful shipyards in the galaxy. Raw materials were gathered from the
uninhabited planet of Foerost below and shipped up to high orbit, where
they were assembled into warships for the Republic navy. Nearly four
thousand years ago during the Sith War, the Foerost shipyards were
attacked by Ulic Qel-Droma and Aleema, who used her darkside illusions
to make their fleet appear to be one large, innocent vessel. After a
quick and deadly battle, Qel- Droma's forces had captured the operations
codes for three hundred of the Republic's newest warships. [TSW]
Folor
The largest moon orbiting the planet Commenor, Folor is a craggy gray
satellite home to an Alliance starfighter training center. The base is
built within a network of underground tunnels, which was a mining
complex and likely a smugglers' hideout in the past. The base is
commanded by General Horton Salm, and off-duty pilots can be found
relaxing in a makeshift cantina called the DownTime. The Folor gunnery
and bombing range, a deep twisting canyon on the moon's surface, is
called the "pig trough" due to the unflattering nickname of the Y-wing
starfighters that often train there. A satellite field surrounding Folor
is also used by pilots for obstacle training. Two and a half years after
the Battle of Endor, the newest members of Rogue Squadron were
instructed at Folor before flying their first combat missions. [XWRS]
Fondor
An industrial planet in the system of the same name, Fondor is famous
for the huge starship construction facilities (among the largest in the
galaxy) in its orbit. It was at these starship yards that the droid
Bollux was first activated. Later, the Empire took over the Fondor
yards, and built the Super Star Destroyer Executor there immediately
following the Battle of Yavin. During the Executor's construction,
Imperial forces erected a military blockade and closed the system to all
civilian traffic. In order to meet supply needs for the massive project,
the Empire opened up a new hyperlane between Fondor and Gandeal for
cargo traffic. When several Imperial admirals saw the Executor as a
blatant bid for power on Darth Vader's part, they tried to sabotage its
construction by bringing in a Rebel spy-- Luke Skywalker. Vader trapped
the traitorous admirals when their group met with Skywalker in the vast
steam tunnels beneath Fondor's surface, but Skywalker managed to escape
the planet by stowing away on an automated drone barge. [HSSE, CSSB,
CSW, SWAJ]
Fornax
The location of the Fire Rings. Han Solo once remarked that a difficult
task can be compared to "flying through the five Fire Rings of Fornax."
[SWN]
Froz
The home planet of the Frozians-- tall, furred, extra-jointed aliens
known for their melancholy outlook on life. Micamberlecto, the former
New Republic governor-general of the Corellian sector, was a Frozian.
[AAC]
F'tral
A large water-covered world orbiting the blue-white star F'la Ren,
F'tral is home to the tentacled cephalopods known as the Iyra. The few
volcanic islands on F'tral are home to fisher plants, seducer plants,
and cannibal plants. The Iyra inhabit large undersea cities and have
developed many valuable technologies, including corrosion-resistant
alloys and gravity-field and inertial devices for starships. Iyra
society is based on a caste system, with the number of tentacles an
individual has corresponding to his or her own caste. The more tentacles
an Iyra grows, the higher the caste, and since Iyra tend to grow more
tentacles as they grow older an individual can move through several
castes in a lifetime. Iyra look down on those in lower castes, and are
especially contemptuous of most four-limbed alien species. [GG4]
Fwillsving
A planet somewhat near Honoghr and Kessel. Luke Skywalker considered
visiting Fwillsving when he needed replacement fuel cells for his
X-wing. [TLC]
