Eol Sha

Eol Sha, a volcanic world, is circled by a large double moon which is in decaying orbit and will likely collide with the planet in another hundred years. The surface of the planet is covered with scalding geysers and bubbling lava fissures, which were known to hold a dangerous lava fireworm. A mining operation was established on Eol Sha 100 years ago to extract valuable gasses from the nearby Cauldron Nebula, but when the operation failed the colonists were forgotten. The colonists lived on the planet for generations, surviving on crustacean bugdillos and edible lichens, until relocated to Dantooine by the New Republic. Gantoris, one of Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy students, was from Eol Sha. The planet was possibly destroyed when all the suns in the adjacent Cauldron Nebula went nova. [JS]
