- "We're dropping you on Horuz. That's one of the dark planets we've been watching."
- ―Saw Gerrera, to Jyn Erso
Horuz was a planet[4] located in the Horuz system in the Atrivis sector of the Outer Rim Territories.[3] Horuz was what the Partisans considered a "dark planet," meaning it was a seemingly insignificant planet that experienced communication blackouts and much higher protocols than normal.[4] In 7 BBY,[5] Jyn Erso was sent on a mission to Horuz to assassinate the Imperial scientist Dorin Bell, who was eventually killed by land mines.[4] Shortly before the Battle of Scarif, Imperial forces were deployed to Horuz.[6] In the lead-up to the Battle of Jakku in 5 ABY, Horuz was reportedly to still be in the thrall of either an Imperial remnant or the criminal syndicates and gangs.[7]
Horuz's surface included cliffs, canyons, and forests.[4]
