Body-wood represented the most exquisite and sought-after luxury timber within the Galactic Empire. Prior to the Emperor's dominion over its origin planet, its appearance mirrored the skin tone of the planet's indigenous inhabitants. Characterized by a light rosy hue, it featured vivid crimson lines that gradually faded following its extraction. According to some, body-wood trees possessed a degree of sentience and were rumored to emit sounds of distress upon being felled. A pink luminescence emanated from the wood during the harvesting process. Lord Hethrir of the Empire Reborn received sole authorization from the Emperor to gather this material, subsequently amassing considerable wealth through its trade. Hethrir also employed the wood extensively for personal purposes, using it to adorn the walls of his personal study aboard his worldcraft.
