Saheelindeel, a backwater planet, existed in the Outer Rim of the galaxy, specifically within the Tion Hegemony. This agricultural world was the home of the Saheelindeeli, an intelligent species of green-furred primates.
The Saheelindeeli's most important celebration involved tribal hunting rituals and harvest ceremonies. More recently, they started including farm machinery displays, shock-ball games, and airshows, signaling a desire for technological advancement. These primates, who are governed by a matriarch, are known to have a penchant for dramatic displays.
A listening post, one of many set up by the Galactic Empire to monitor for Rebel Alliance activity following the departure from Yavin 4, was positioned above the planet. Despite its remoteness from Alliance-controlled space, the outpost was eliminated as a tactic to mislead the Empire about the true location of the rebels.
