Lokori served as the native world for the Lokori species, sharing its name. Situated close to Ryloth, the planet boasted an agreeable atmosphere and experienced periods of significant rainfall. Fucallpa functioned as its primary urban center, housing Helical HyperCom, a company that manufactured individual communication equipment.
As the Clone Wars raged, and the nearby Ryloth became the site of a destructive battle, Galen Erso viewed Lokori as a potentially dangerous location due to how close it was to the war. Nevertheless, when Orson Krennic presented him with an employment opportunity at Helical HyperCom, where he would contribute to a crystal array research initiative supervised by the Galactic Republic, Erso accepted the offer. He relocated to Lokori with his family, settling in Fucallpa's western sector. Before long, a battle erupted on Lokori between the forces of the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Following the devastation of much of the city and the deaths of thousands of civilians as a result of the conflict, the Erso family departed Lokori.
