Vulcar

Vulcar was a baleful orange, sulfurous planet^[3] located in the Vulcar system, within the Juvex sector of the galaxy's Mid Rim^[1] in the Western Reaches.^[2] A hyperlane branching off the Senex-Juvex Loop connected it to the worlds of Tinallis and Tyluun.^[3] Home to the eponymous Sulphur Pits of Vulcar,^[4] its acrid atmosphere made employing humanoid workers to extract the world's oridium deposits barely cost-effective. Instead, Vulcar was primarily worked by droids of all types, including crab droids, reprogrammed to serve as miners until they froze up and rusted into scrap.^[3] In 15 BBY, an Intergalactic Droid Agency shuttle traveled to the Sulphur Pits of Vulcar^[5] after delivering the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO to the planet Dodz.^[4]

Vulcar was first mentioned in Droids (1986) 1, the first issue of the Star Wars Legends Star Wars: Droids comic series published by Star Comics, an imprint of Marvel Comics,^[4] which was first published on April 1, 1986.^[6] The Essential Atlas, a 2009 reference book written by Jason Fry and Daniel Wallace, pictured the planet for the first time and placed it in grid square L-18.^[3]
