Aridka, a planet characterized by its rocky terrain, functioned as a site of conflict, specifically a battleground, in the clashes between the Galactic Republic and the Separatist armies during the era of the Clone Wars. Across its surface were derelict cities, bordered by steep cliffs and the remnants of ancient temples and towering obelisks. Plant life, in at least two distinct forms, managed to thrive on Aridka, taking root both within the cliffside cracks and amidst the abandoned urban areas.
