    Doh. Lets get this right.

    I was reading Timetales today for the first time in a while anmd I noticed 2 planet names in the one of the HNN articles from Insider 76, I think it was.

    Azterri and Moorja.

    Now are either of these planets been in previous EU literature, comics etc?
    Can any EU'ers research this a little?
    Cos one of these could be a new ROTS planet ;)

    Azterri is one of the planets that Luke and Akanah travel to, in order to find information about Akanah's mother, in the Black Fleet Crisis. There they met Joreb Goss, Akanah's biological father.


    Moorja - from the CUSWE:
    Moorja
    this small Inner Rim world was governed by Salliche Ag, and was used to mining and agriculture. As long as the colonies on the world paid their taxes and sent all its production Coreward, Salliche left it alone. The population cared little for the galaxy outside it, and continued its production of ores and foodstuffs without much change for many years. During the height of the Clone Wars, Moorja was one of the first planets liberated by the Separatists during Operation Durge's Lance. It was later one of the first Separatist worlds to be defended by organic troops, a necessity given that Moorja's ion storms wreaked havoc with the droid control systems used on other worlds. Among the forces deployed to Moorja were the Neimoidian Gunnery Battalions, Gossam Commandos, and the Koorivar Fusiliers. Production of foodstuffs continued during the Galactic Civil War and following the Battle of Endor. A small population of Arcona mined salt on Moorja, and an Ithorian contingent harvested specialty fruits and low-yield forest crops. The average day on this temperate world lasts 17 standard hours, and its year lasts 310 local days. (SWJ8, SWI76)
    Imperials had a scout training facility there.
