Ukio
Ukio, in the Abrion sector and the Ukio system, is one of the top five
food-producing planets in the New Republic and was the target of an
attack by Grand Admiral Thrawn. A spokesman for the Ukian Overliege

the ability to fire directly through planetary shields. The smuggler
Samuel Tomas Gillespee bought a plot of land on Ukio, which he lost when
the Empire took control of the planet. [TLC]
Umgul
A cool, mist-covered world in the same system as Dargul, Umgul is known
as a center for gambling and sports attractions. The planet's spaceport
is located in Umgul City, built on the limestone banks of a wide river
that attracts numerous pleasure barges. The city is covered with signs
and attractions for visitors, though cheating in the gambling
establishments is punishable by death. Tourists primarily visit Umgul to
see the famous Umgullian blob races, held in an arena carved from rock
and ringed with fans to blow away the thick fog. The protoplasmic blobs,
bred for racing, are kept in stables and monitored by the Umgullian
Racing Commission for any signs of illegal enhancement. Lando Calrissian
visited Umgul while searching for a possible Jedi candidate. [JS]
