⬢ CURATED RECORD

Socorro is a volcanic desert smuggler world: black sand, hidden landings, and a name that shows up in pilot brags. It is an Outer Rim hole with a reputation, not a tourist listing.

EU pilots and later canon maps keep it as a haven word. Searches for smuggler planets that are not Tatooine sometimes mean this one.
