Endor (also known as the Forest Moon of Endor and the Sanctuary Moon) was a small forested moon orbiting the gas giant planet of Endor and was the farthest moon away from it. An enchanted world, Endor was notable for being the native home of the Ewoks, and being the location of the Battle of Endor, which would result in the downfall of the Empire and the first death of the Emperor Palpatine. Due to its proximity to the Unknown Regions, Endor was a relatively quiet planetoid both prior to and after the battle.
Endor was also known for the vast amount of sentient species it supported,
from baseline to exotic. This was largely due to the unusually large number of
shipwrecks Endor experienced; it has been compared to a "desert island" in
space.
The mantle of the moon consisted largely diorite and feldspar, although Endor was a volcanically active planetoid with several hotspots,
Endor's terrain was largely covered by massive, tightly-knit pine and redwood
forests. However, the Forest Moon also contained vast dry
deserts and grassy plains, small oceans, secluded lakes, and mountain ranges. The moon's low axialtilt and regular orbit of its gas giant primary helped ensure a comfortable climate. The Forest Moon was temperate and mild, with polar caps regulating the sea levels. Flora life included cambylictus trees and other large plants, thriving with many types of fruit including the Grava berrys. Endor was the second moon of the gas giant it orbited.
The forest moon was home to the Ewoks, famous for helping defeat the Empire athe Battle of Endor. The four other native sentient species were the tall and timid Yuzzums, amphibious Gorphs, and the mischievous and treacherous genetic Ewok cousins, Duloks. The moon also boasted other slightly stranger beings, such as Mount Sorrow or the Sun King, or even the fairy like Wisties.
