Manpha was a wet and swampy planet[4] located in Manpha system of the Seitia sector,[3] a part of the Outer Rim Territories[1] and the Western Reaches.[2] Situated in grid square K-20 of the Standard Galactic Grid, it was located on the super-hyperroute known as the Corellian Trade Spine, which linked it to the Tureen and Zastiga systems.[1] Manpha was the homeworld of the amphibious Shawda Ubb species, including the musician Rappertunie.[4]
Behind the scenes
Manpha was first mentioned in the current Star Wars canon in Simon Beecroft and Pablo Hidalgo's 2016 reference book Star Wars Character Encyclopedia: Updated and Expanded.[5] The 2017 French-language book Créatures et peuples de la galaxie by Sabine Boccador misspelled the planet's name as "Monpha."[6]
Manpha was originally introduced in the Star Wars Legends continuity, where it was first mentioned in the 1997 Star Wars Trilogy Sourcebook, Special Edition, published by West End Games for use with Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game.[7] The planet was subsequently given its first visual depiction in the 2006 reference book The New Essential Guide to Alien Species, which was written by Ann Margaret Lewis and Helen Keier and illustrated by Chris Trevas and William O'Connor.[8]
