- "We have to be quiet because we are venturing into the deadly jungles of Cholganna to study a nexu in its natural habitat."
- ―Aree
Cholganna was a dark, cool forest planet in the Outer Rim Territories that was the homeworld of the nexus, a species of predatory felines that spread off-world as a result of their value as attack beasts.
Description
Cholganna was a dark, cool[8] planet with a mountainous terrain, jungles,[5] and forests[4] located in the Outer Rim Territories,[1] in grid square T-5 on the Standard Galactic Grid.[3]
A pack of wild nexu on Cholganna.
Cholganna was the homeworld of various creatures, including the nexus, a species of predatory felines[4] who lived in the northern hemisphere,[9] the bark rat, a rodent that was often prey for the nexu, and arboreal octopi.[6] Because of their incredibly aggressive and deadly nature, the nexu were often captured by poachers,[5] and spread off-world as attack beasts in gladiator matches.[4]
