⬢ CURATED RECORD

Kothlis is a Bothan colony world of warm seas and spy-craft. Bothawui is the species homeworld; Kothlis is the quieter listening post where intelligence services have long kept safe houses.

Return of the Jedi's Bothan spies — many Bothans died to bring us this information — are tied in later sources to the Death Star II data path that touches this world. The Holonet files it as an espionage node, not a battlefield.

First appearance: Named in later Death Star II intelligence lore; Bothan home space in the Atlas
