Myrkr is a forest that Jedi hate: ysalamiri cling to the trees and push the Force away in bubbles you can walk through. Smugglers loved that. Thrawn built a strategy on it.

Heir to the Empire sends Talon Karrde, Mara Jade, and Luke Skywalker through this canopy. The ysalamiri, not a city, are the export. Searches for 'Force-blocking lizards' mean Myrkr.

First appearance: Heir to the Empire (1991)
