"Mustafar and Other Planets in the Outer Rim" constitutes a single entry within the Star Wars Encyclopedia collection of reference materials, which are brought to us by De Agostini. Its release date was April 8, 2022.
The Outer Rim, a sprawling and untamed frontier, served as a haven for various types of lawbreakers, who occasionally utilized the planets found there as operational hubs. A prime illustration is Nevarro, which, following the Empire's collapse, became the central location for the Bounty Hunters Guild. Paralleling Mustafar, numerous other worlds presented extremely harsh environments, supporting minimal native life and only a smattering of explorers seeking to extract their valuable minerals. In contrast, some planets, such as Mandalore, leveraged their geographical position to maintain a strong sense of autonomy across the ages. Conversely, the Outer Rim also encompassed more sinister territories, frequently linked to the ancient Sith Order, which had designated sites such as Moraband and Malachor as the epicenter of their formidable influence during an era almost entirely obscured by the Galactic Civil War. Nevertheless, numerous planets within this region were pivotal to the overarching narrative of the galaxy.
