Endor is one of nine moons orbiting a lifeless gas giant in the Moddell Sector. A convoluted Hyperspace route and the enormous gravity well of its mother planet renders Endor a difficult place to visit, making it an ideal secret construction site for the Empire. Though known as the Forest Moon, Endor has a wide variety of terrain. Forests cover much of the satellite, but there are also stretches of savannah and desert, as well as frozen ice caps.

The moon is teeming with life, including sentient beings such as the Ewoks, their distant cousins the Duloks, and subsentient aliens such as Yuzzums, Goraxes, and Teeks. The forest floor becomes a dangerous hunting ground at night, when feral Boar-Wolves, Hanadaks, and Preducors stalk the wilderness for prey. The silvery gas giant is occasionally eclipsed by the winged silhouette of a Mantigrue, a harbinger of the evil Night Spirit in Ewok lore.

Following their victory at the Battle of Endor, The Rebel Alliance stations on the Forest Moon for a brief period, launching missions under their new name of the Alliance of Free Planets. They eventually relocated, leaving Endor to its quiet existence. Though some intrepid Ewoks left the moon, most stayed behind to live simpler lives. A small trading outpost run by a being known as Salfur keeps open the connection between Endor and the galaxy at large.
