Balowa, a world situated within the Balowa system of the Mid Rim, was characterized predominantly by rainforests and is detailed in planet records. It was on this planet that a fateful confrontation occurred, resulting in the deaths of Jedi Knight Crian Maru, her Padawan Dree Vandap, and the Sith Lord Kaox Krul in 1000 BBY, an event that transpired shortly before the Ruusan campaign commenced.
