Lanupa, once known as The Demon's Rest or Battle World, was a mountainous neutral planet located in the galaxy. It was home of the Skull Ridge Mountain, atop which was located the Skull Ridge Mountain Hotel & Spa, formerly a fearsome pirate stronghold that boasted torturous execution acid baths and fighting pits. SM-33 was outraged at how they had "ruined it!" with visiting pleasure yachts, spa, mud baths (fed by natural hot springs), bacta soaks and buffets ("food for weaklings!").[1] Lanupa was also the homeworld of the Trash crab, a species of crab that wore pieces of technological scrap on their back.[2]
During the New Republic Era, as the luxury spa did not admit children, the crew of the Onyx Cinder (Fern, Wim, Neel, KB, the droid SM-33 and Jod Na Nawood) had to adopt new identities: the children as the "Most Wise Elders" from the Bratric System, and Jod Na Nawood as the probable Muun Professor Umiam Gorelox.[1]
The Force-sensitive human Jod Na Nawood studied Ur-Kittât writing on a wall as the Myykian Neel watched, before they discovered the abandoned Captain Rennod's Lair and found the coordinates to At Attin.[1]
Nawood's former pirate crew invaded Lanupa in search of the Nawood after being tipped off by the bounty hunter Pokkit.[1] They managed to capture Nawood and SM-33, before fleeing the planet as a squadron of New Republic X-wing starfighters chased them off, resulting one of the two pirate vessels being shot down.[2]
Meanwhile, the Skeleton Crew managed to recover the Onyx Cinder, but as the ship was pinned by a garbage machine, they were forced to purge the hull, allowing them to break free and depart Lanupa.[2]

Lanupa was created for the Disney+ live-action series Star Wars: Skeleton Crew.[3]
