"Are you an angel? […] I've heard the deep space pilots talk about them. They're the most beautiful creatures in the universe. They live on the moons of Iego, I think."
Anakin Skywalker to Padmé Amidala
Iego, named the Planet of a Thousand Moons, was a planet located in the Extrictarium Nebula in the Outer Rim Territories. Due to the obscurity of the Nebula, Iego did not appear on any starcharts. Iego did not orbit a sun; rather, it was warmed by local stellar gases. It was home to the subterranean Maelibi species, as well as thousands of stranded spacefarers who had been lured to the planet by the Diathim—a spaceworthy species that resided on Iego's forty-two moons. Although Iego appeared to have no noteworthy natural resources, the concepts of aging and hunger somehow eluded its residents.
In spacer lore, Iego was considered a mythical location, and was the subject of many stories and rumors. Numerous expeditions set out to find the planet, though few succeeded, and the ones who did were for the most part unable to leave. Due to the amount of hearsay surrounding the planet, as well as its continued unconfirmed location, most members of the galaxy's scientific community dismissed Iego as a spacefarer's tale.
The Scatter was located in the far south of the planet and almost every being who was unfortunate enough to be stranded stayed there for the rest of their lives.
The Choir Alignment was located near the planet's equator and was one of the few places that the Diathim would touch down on the planet's surface. It was unknown why they chose to land there but it created a brilliant light that could be seen for miles.
The Boneyard was in the north, bordering Iego's mountains. It consisted of massive bones, too big to be from any known creature. Underneath it could be found caverns inhabited by the demon-like Maelibi.
Rawk's Nest, the home of "Bantha" Rawk, was also located on Iego.
