The Stark Forests, situated on the planet Tython within the Thyr continent, represented a forest area. In this region, the trees possessed a unique adaptation: they extracted atmospheric humidity and accumulated water within durable, pouch-like structures. These sacs, dangling like pendulums from the trees' bare limbs, proved invaluable to wayfarers traversing the Stark Forests. Furthermore, a diminutive waterway coursed through a section of the forests, and it was common to encounter groups of hook hawks – predatory avian species indigenous to Tython known for their mesmerizing vocalizations – within the Stark Forests.
The inaugural depiction of the Stark Forests occurred during a retrospective scene in the novel Dawn of the Jedi: Into the Void. This book was authored by Tim Lebbon and made available to the public on May 7, 2013.
