An arboreal world teeming with robust, aggressive lifeforms,
Kashyyyk's wilderness has barely been tamed by the native
Wookiees. The fur-covered giants exist peacefully within their niche in the hostile ecosystem, living in balance with the nature that surrounds them. The planet is a gateway to several major astrogational routes, making it of prime strategic importance to whoever controls the system. During the Clone Wars, the
Separatists attacked the world, hoping to overwhelm the Wookiees with their droid forces. The Republic bolstered the native armies with their
clone troopers, led by one of their most powerful
Jedi warriors,
Yoda.
