Sector:
Terrain: 100% sea
Zones:Ahto City, Kolto
Description:
The planet is completely covered in water, except for Ahto City, a large city made by the Selkath, the native species on Manaan. It was once the galaxies most important planet besides Corruscant for being the sole planet where kolto, a plant with natural healing properties far more effective than the modern bacta, can be grown. Kolto harvesting and shipping is the planet's central industry. The Selkath exploit this resource to ensure their safety from both the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic, who are unable to attack the planet for fear of damaging the kolto. The planet features an oceanic swoop-racing course, several hotels and cantinas. It also has an underwater research station that is attacked by a giant firaxan shark that is defending the kolto and its young. It was once a member world of the Infinite Empire, and concealed a Rakatan Star Map in its watery depths.
