Karra was the native planet of the Karran species, their homeworld. The Mineral Assets Partnership briefly established a colony there in 500 BBY. Subsequently, the Galactic Empire built varmigio mines on this planet. However, both of these extraterrestrial settlements faced destruction due to overwhelming insect swarms, manipulated by the Karran hive mind.
The planet Karra was characterized by a wide variety of insectoid life, featuring creatures such as swarmers, karran beetles, karran mantises, and also legworms.
