Star Wars: Endor

▶ Explore this system live in the app

The Endor system lies in the Moddell sector of the Outer Rim Territories, at the end of the Sanctuary Pipeline hyperlane.

Canon depicts it as a binary system (Endor I and Endor II); Legends describes a single star called Ibleam. Either way, it's dominated by the gas giant Endor—"Tana" to the Ewoks—and its major moons, including the Forest Moon of Endor. During the Galactic Civil War, that moon became the site of the shield generator for the second Death Star and the final battlefield where the Empire fell.

Celestial Bodies (18)

Endor I
star · system center · 1,390,000 km diameter
Canon Legends Class G

A Type-G yellow dwarf, the dominant gravitational and thermal anchor of the system. Legends sources describe this same star as a lone sun named Ibleam, with no binary companion.

Endor II
star · orbits Endor I · 45,000,000 km · 800,000 km diameter
Canon Class M

A secondary red dwarf star locked in a binary dance with Endor I. It has no equivalent in Legends, where the system has only a single sun.

Megiddo
planet · orbits Endor I · 65,000,000 km · 4,800 km diameter
Legends 🪨 Terrestrial Scorched

A scorched, airless world. Along with Eloggi and Dor, its concentration of strategic metals was a key reason the Empire chose this system to build the second Death Star.

Eloggi
planet · orbits Endor I · 110,000,000 km · 7,200 km diameter
Legends 🪨 Terrestrial ☣️ Toxic

A Hoth-like world with a cold, toxic atmosphere. One of the three barren worlds—alongside Megiddo and Dor—prized by the Empire for their strategic metals.

Dor
planet · orbits Endor I · 150,000,000 km · 6,500 km diameter
Legends 🪨 Terrestrial Resource Rich

Its crust and mantle held rich deposits of phobium, doonium, zersium, neutronium, iron, gold, and crystallized lommite. Imperial orbital bombardments cracked the crust to extract them.

Endor
planet, gas-giant · orbits Endor I · 220,000,000 km · 48,951 km diameter
Canon 💨 Gas Giant Jovian

A cyan gas giant known as "Tana" among the Ewoks of its forest moon, which sometimes lends its own name to the moon in casual usage. A hoax once claimed the planet had been destroyed in a mysterious cataclysm—later debunked by the scholar Ebenn Q3 Baobab.

Korkar
moon · orbits Endor · 150,000 km · 1,800 km diameter
Canon Satellite ❄️ Ice World

A highly reflective icy moon believed to harbor a liquid sea beneath its frozen crust.

Forest Moon (Sanctuary Moon)
