- "Look here, Rakab, my first week on the job I sent a crate of worms to the wrong planet and I couldn't get them back. Not like a little box. I mean a crate. Now the jungles of Urajab have been reduced to weeds because of an invasive species."
- ―Lee Skillen, to Julen Rakab
Urajab was a jungle planet[3] located in the Urajab system within the Vulcusion sector of the Expansion Region[1] and Trailing Sectors,[2] in grid square L-16 on the Standard Galactic Grid.[1] In the first week of the Lee Skillen's job as a supervisor at the company Ohnaka Transport Solutions in Black Spire Outpost on the Outer Rim planet Batuu, she accidentally sent a crate of worms to Urajab instead of its intended destination. According to Skillen, the worms became an invasive species on Urajab, and destroyed the planet's jungles, reducing them to weeds.[3]
Sometime later,[3] in 34 ABY,[4] Skillen told the tale to the farmer Julen Rakab, a resident of Black Spire Outpost who mistakenly delivered the wrong parcel to Ohnaka Transport Solutions.[3] The same year,[5] the historian and author Eloc Throno included Urajab on a map in his Batuu guidebook, Traveler's Guide to Batuu.[6]

- ↑ Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge: Traveler's Guide to Batuu establishes that at the time of the book's setting the Resistance was based on Batuu. Star Wars: Timelines dates both the establishment of the Batuu Resistance base and its eventual relocation to Ajan Kloss to 34 ABY. Therefore, the in-universe guide must have been authored that year.
