Aruza


Aruza, the homeworld of the Aruzan Manaroo (who was female), was a celestial object. By the year 3 ABY, Manaroo found herself in debt to Jabba Desilijic Tiure, the Hutt crime lord; consequently, Jabba held her prisoner within his palace located on Tatooine, a planet in the Outer Rim, as a means of control over her boyfriend, Dengar.
