The Isatabith rain forest,[2] also known as the Isatabith forest, was located on the Core World[3] of Alderaan[2] and partially shared its name with Isatabith falls.[3] The rain forest was one of multiple Alderaanian locations that were described to Imperial pilot Thane Kyrell by his friend Nash Windrider during the latter's efforts to extol the planet's natural beauty and list its best places to visit. Kyrell later thought of both the rain forest and the Cloudshape Falls as potential destinations for he and his friend just before witnessing the destruction of Alderaan[2] in 0 BBY, where the forest was destroyed as well.[1]
