An Ithorian lived at Rimbaux Four at one point.

Rimbaux Four was a location where an Ithorian lived at some point after they metamorphosized from the stage of a pupa. The Ithorian, whose environment included a caravan door, fed on others' refuse and—claiming later to have been the most handsome and admired member of their species in the orbit of Satellite Nine—did not experience difficulties with mating. Sending their saliva out into the winds of Solax, the Ithorian eventually fathered several thousand offspring. The inhabitant of Rimbaux Four experienced memorable connections to meteors and spongy roots there and considered the time that they spent there to have been "effervescent" and full of adventure and unlimited potential.[1]

Eventually, however, the Ithorian experienced the onset of the condition known as the molt, which involved negative changes in their anatomy and physiology—including, among others, the hunger for and attraction of ant-flies—as well as social status. At a later stage of their condition, the Ithorian went on to wander through a free-trade zone.[1]

Behind the scenes

Rimbaux Four was mentioned in the short story "Musings of an Ithorian," which was included in the 1993 book Monsters and Aliens from George Lucas, a publication that combines creature designs and photographs from various projects of George Lucas, creator of the Star Wars franchise, with original text by Bob Carrau.[1] Lucasfilm employee Leland Chee, who maintains the Holocron continuity database, has indicated that information contained in Monsters and Aliens from George Lucas is non-canonical with respect to the Star Wars Legends continuity.[2] However, the 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas built upon the mention of Rimbaux Four by introducing the Rimbaux system of the Outer Rim Territories.[3]
