Raioballo Sector

The Raioballo sector is a fictional region of space featured in the Star Wars multimedia franchise. It appeared in the 2016 film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

Description
The Raioballo Sector is a sector of space in Outer Rim Territories of the known galaxy. It has two planets, Dantooine and Lah'mu. Both planets played minor roles during the Imperial Purge and the Galactic Civil War.

In 13 BBY, a revolutionary named Saw Gerrera helped an Imperial defector named Galen Erso and his family find sanctuary on the remote planet of Lah'mu. The world was bleak, but serene, and Galen took up farming. The Imperials managed to track him down however, and advanced on the Erso homestead. Galen's wife, Lyra Erso, contacted Saw Gerrera, who then came to help. Galen was taken in by the Imperials, and Lyra was killed. Saw took charge over their young daughter, Jyn Erso.

During the Galactic Civil War, the Alliance to Restore the Republic set up a base of operations on Dantooine. They remained there only for a short period, but eventually deserted it. When Alliance leader Leia Organa was captured and interrogated by Grand Moff Tarkin, she told them that the rebel base was located on Dantooine, which was by this point, outdated information.

Points of Interest

 * Dantooine: Dantooine is a planet whose landscape consists lush, green verdant regions and dense forests. An olive, blue, and brown colored world, Dantooine was remote from the bustle of the galactic trade routes. Two moons floated in the skies above the savannas of lavender and yellow grasses. Dantooine had several continents. There was an equatorial one that was connected to a larger northern one and a south polar one by slender land bridges, as well as a disconnected north-eastern continent.


 * Lah'mu: Lah'mu was a rather barren world. It was an agrarian planet with several silica-based planetary rings. It was noted for its black sand beaches, mountains, plateaus, and fertile lowlands. Other natural phenomena included geysers and volcanoes. The planet's crust, split numerous times during its early geographic life, was fertile and rich with minerals and soils brought to the surface during this turbulent period.
