Kabaira

Kabaira, located in the Teilcam system of the Outer Rim, has a surface nine-tenths covered with water and dotted by over two million volcanic islands. The few active volcanoes are located in the southern hemisphere, while the eight million Kabairans live in the north, primarily on the two island continents of Madieri and Belshain. Eponte Spaceport, the center of Kabaira's corporate government, is located on the north cost of Madieri and is bordered by mountains. Eponte's high altitude means its climate is typically cool, damp, and foggy. Along Eponte's ancient brick-lined streets one can find the disreputable Drayhar's Cantina, and corporate offices for Delgas Medical and Hydrospeare Corp. Kabaira's main industry is the mining of islands in the southern hemisphere, and indigenous animal life includes the white snow-wolves that inhabit the mountains. Though the planet is controlled by the Empire, underground Rebel activities have been making their hold on the planet more precarious. A number of years before the Battle of Yavin, the smugglers Tere Metallo and Matt Turhaya were involved in a dangerous adventure on Kabaira. [SWAJ]
