A small planet near kamino, this is simmiler to kashsyyk. However, boon has native sakuntala who are tall (average of 2.4 m), gangly, very dexterous, and fairly strong. They are generally a light green that blends in well with the forest. They also have rain blockers so they see in the rain, as if there was no rain. They are somewhat primitive, but understand weapons and items, just rarely learn to fly.

Boon itself is a masive jungle. The worst part is Viisiiiviisii. This is very wet (the whole world is in constant rainfall, but this is a heavier rain) and has trees that rival those of kashsyyk. The whole forest is full of predetors, but if you stay of the floor (where it is not a constat lake) and you have a native guide, then you should be fine. The cities are little more than hollowed out trees, with rope brides that consist of three horizontal ropes and several verticle support ropes. (Think of a V shape)So you need a guide to find the right bridges, or a speeder since the starport is the only place where there is a clearing large enough to land. Only small freighters or smaller can land due to size restrictions, but it can hold about 6 starships.
