Corsit-puzzle tree

The corsit-puzzle tree was a type of tree that grew on Thonner,^[1] a planet in the Outer Rim Territories' Moddell sector.^[2] It could be found in the marshlands of the Lesser Firagh Peninsula of Thonner's Firagh continent, an area rife with dangerous wildlife. The trunk of the corsit-puzzle tree was thickly covered with spikes, and the tree's name referred to the fact that not even corsits, amphibious creatures that were expert climbers, could not scale its branches without impaling themselves in the process.^[1]

Every few months, Thonnermen, the inhabitants of Thonner, visited the Lesser Firagh Peninsula in order to harvest corsit-puzzle tree wood. They felled the trees using lasercutters and used larger boughs and stumps to fashion pit traps for catching large game. On smaller branches, Thonnermen used lasercutters to remove the spikes from a surface area sufficiently large to hold with ungloved hands. The resultant vicious melee weapons were known as puzzle-wood staffs.^[1]

Behind the scenes

The corsit-puzzle tree was introduced in the roleplaying adventure "Race for the Tessent," which was published for use with Wizards of the Coast's Star Wars Roleplaying Game in the ninth issue of the Star Wars Gamer magazine^[1] on February 22, 2002.^[3]
