Secluded in a remote corner of the galaxy, the forest moon of Endor would easily have been overlooked by history were it not for the decisive battle that occurred there. The lush, forest home of the Ewok species is the gravesite of Darth Vader and the Empire itself. It was here that the Rebel Alliance won its most crucial victory over the Galactic Empire.

Princess Leia was part of General Han Solo's Rebel strike team tasked with destroying the Imperial shield generator installation on Endor. After a speeder bike chase through the woods, she made first contact with the Ewok tribe by befriending a scout named Wicket.

The forest moon of Endor served as the Sanctuary Moon for the second Death Star as it underwent construction. A powerful deflector shield enveloped the incomplete station, projected from an immense installation on the moon's verdant surface.
