The Tripod species's native planet, known as World, was their original home. Although its precise coordinates remained a mystery, it was thought to be positioned within the Outer Rim, residing in the area between Pzob and Belsavis.
To prepare for the Eye of Palpatine's task of destroying the Jedi settlement in Plawal, a city situated on Belsavis, several stormtroopers were deployed to the planet. After Callista Ming disabled the ship, the stormtroopers were stranded there, ultimately perishing. Upon its eventual reactivation, the Eye of Palpatine made a stop at World, dispatching a shuttle to collect some of the indigenous Tripods, intending to use them as replacements for the stormtroopers they had expected.
