⬢ CURATED RECORD

Ithor is a jungle that the Ithorians refused to pave. They live in herd ships in orbit and visit the surface as pilgrims. To wound Ithor's ecology is a religious crime. The world's look — hammerheaded Ithorians, hanging gardens — is older than the Empire.

Ithor appears across reference and animation as the conscience of the Mid Rim. Some campaigns later scarred it; the archive still files it as the planet that tried not to be used. Searches for Ithorians resolve here.

First appearance: A New Hope novelization / early reference; Ithorians on-screen from the OT onward
