Wukkar was a celestial body located in the Core Worlds[1] and the Interior's[2] Wukkar system,[3] situated in grid square L-10 of the Standard Galactic Grid. The Corellian Run hyperspace route connected Wukkar to the Dutar system and[1] the planet[4] Coruscant.[1]
In 231 BBY,[5] a shuttle of excited schoolchildren from Wukkar traveled to the Outer Rim planet Valo to attend its Republic Fair. Upon arrival to the world's atmosphere, space traffic controller Milon Thakkery granted permission for the vessel to land. However, the fair was attacked by the Nihil marauder organization moments afterward.[6]
