Aargonar was a dusty, desert-climate planet located in the Borderland Regions of the Mid Rim.
Description
Aargonar was an insignificant desert world with few population.[3] The terrain was reminiscent of Tatooine for Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, with rock arches and stone spires dotting the once watery-planet.[4] The planet had several moons, including Aargonar 3.[3]
The planet was known to house numerous Sarlaccs which were respected and even revered by the local sentient population.[3] It was also home to Hrumphs and Gouka dragons.[4]
History

During the Galactic Civil War, Aargonar's third moon acted as a Rebel Alliance base, but the Rebels were routed by the Galactic Empire around 0 ABY.[6]
