One of Jakku’s sacred villages, Tuanul is little more than a few wattle-and-daub huts clustered around a large vaporator cistern.

That isolation came khổng lồ an abrupt and brutal kết thúc when First Order stormtroopers arrived seeking the retired explorer & spiritual seeker Lor San Tekka.
After the Battle of Endor, the fragmented Empire made a last stand above the bleak frontier world of Jakku, battling a New Republic task force before retreating into the galaxy’s Unknown Regions. The battle left Jakku’s sands littered with wrecks of starfighters & capital ships from both sides.

Takodana has been largely spared war over the centuries, remaining neutral as galaxy-ruling regimes come và go around it.
Deep in the Unknown Regions, the First Order constructed a superweapon that used an entire planet as its weapons platform. The deadly Starkiller harvested energy from its system’s star, contained it within magnetic fields inside the planetary core, and then converted that energy into an ultra-powerful beam that blasted through hyperspace, able khổng lồ sterilize the worlds of a distant star system with a single shot.

Inside Maz’s castle, pirates, smugglers, spies & all manner of scoundrels mix & mingle, searching for loans, information, equipment, repairs -- or kicking back to lớn enjoy music, food và drink or games of chance.

The Empire made a last stand above the frontier planet, leading lớn a pitched battle between rebel và Imperial fleets. Jakku’s sandy wastes are littered with old wrecks, picked over by desperate scavengers searching for parts that can be salvaged and sold.
The capital of the New Republic, Hosnian Prime is a cosmopolitan world on the outskirts of the galaxy’s core Worlds region.

A lush world in the Outer Rim, D’Qar is the principal base of General Leia Organa’s Resistance.

The Resistance hastily evacuated, narrowly escaping before the base was leveled by First Order turbolasers.
