Sump

Sump was a terrestrial planet located in the regions known as the Outer Rim Territories and the Western Reaches. Situated in grid square I-18 of the Standard Galactic Grid, it was linked by hyperspace routes to the Eiram system as well as the planets Merokia and Shuraden. The planet was the homeworld of the sentient Nuknog species, including the offworld podracer Ark Roose.

In 382 BBY, the war fought between the Eiram system's planets Eiram and E'ronoh also affected worlds beyond the system, including Sump. The latter planet eventually submitted multiple requests for aid from the Galactic Republic, a fact that the Republic's Supreme Chancellor Orlen Mollo noted to Jedi Master Creighton Sun at one point around that year. At some point, Sump was mentioned in an entry of an artist's journal dedicated to the Nuknog. The journal was restored, expanded, and displayed at the Graf Archive at some point no earlier than 34 ABY.

Sump was introduced into the current Star Wars canon by the mobile app Star Wars: Force Collection, which was released on September 4, 2013. Although its release predates the reset of the Star Wars canon on April 25, 2014, following The Walt Disney Company's acquisition of the franchise, Lucasfilm Story Group member Leland Chee later confirmed that the game was kept updated to fit with canon.

Sump originated in the Star Wars Legends continuity, where it was first mentioned in the 2000 reference book Inside the Worlds of Star Wars: Episode I by Kristin Lund. The world was given its first visual depiction on a map of the galaxy included with the fifth issue of the Star Wars Gamer magazine, which was published on July 24, 2001.
