Uro, a planet serving as the homeworld for an arachnid species, was known for the disturbing practice of its inhabitants consuming their most vulnerable younglings. During 40 BBY, the actions of this species were brought to light when Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn challenged the Galactic Republic's tolerance of corporate entities like Czerka engaging in slavery. Grand Master Yoda cited Uro and its indigenous species to illustrate the Republic's failure to intervene in certain morally reprehensible situations.
The planet Uro received a mention in Master & Apprentice, a novel penned by Claudia Gray and released in 2019.
