Laboi II

A small planet orbiting the red giant Er'Dox Kaan, Laboi II has an extremely slow, retrograde rotation which means that one side of the planet faces the sun for almost 2,020 hours at a time. The side facing the sun becomes so hot it melts rock and the night side is cooled to sub-zero temperatures, though these effects are lessened somewhat by temperature-distributing wind storms. There is no plant life on Laboi II, but there are many animal species including the highly intelligent aliens known as the Laboi. The carnivorous, aggressive Laboi, who can survive the extreme temperature differences of their planet, primarily hunt the bantha-sized ovolyan. Laboi, who appear to be fur-covered snakes, make up for their lack of manipulative appendages with a limited telekinetic ability that may be linked to the Force. Laboi II's main export is Laboian mineral crystals, which are popular in the Core Worlds. [GG4]
