The Kashyyyk system is a stellar/planetary system located in the Mytaranor sector of the Mid Rim Territories. It is named for the forest world of Kashyyyk, homeworld of the Wookiee race. The planet Trandosha is also located in the Kashyyyk system. It's native inhabitants are the reptilian Trandoshans, a violent race known for maintaining a longstanding feud with the Wookiees. In total, there are eight planets that orbit the star of Kashyyyk and a total of fifty-five moons between them.
In 19 BBY, Jedi Master Yoda traveled through the star system on his way to Kashyyyk to enlist the aid of the Wookiees in the Republic's war against the Confederacy of Independent Systems. This skirmish, known as the Battle of Kashyyyk, was one of the last major battles of the Clone Wars. [1]
In 1 ABY, Alliance heroes Han Solo and Chewbacca traveled through the Kashyyyk system so that Chewbacca could celebrate Life Day with his family on Kashyyyk. [2]
