Nuvar, a world covered in jungle terrain, was a planet situated in the Mid Rim region, not far from what is now known as the Hydian Way. Back in 3701 BBY, the scoutship named Hope, commanded by Freia Kallea, suffered critical damage inflicted by the Neimoidians Thoax and Farge Osaax and was forced to make an emergency landing on the then-unmapped planet of Nuvar; this event left her isolated there for a period of six standard years. Eventually, Banu Hydia discovered her location on the planet, finding her living in a feral condition.
The events that Kallea underwent while on Nuvar were artistically depicted within the second and third acts of Trebian Shullos's grand opera, titled The Kallea Cycle. In 38 GrS, when the opera was performed on Brentaal, the production featured a Jungle of Nuvar set that rotated across the massive 500-meter-long stage of Votrad Stadium.
