Anoth
Anoth is a fictional planet from the
Star Wars Expanded Universe.A multiple planet orbiting a small white sun, Anoth consisted of three parts and will likely break itself into dust in a few hundred years. Anoth was unrecorded on any chart, and was chosen by
Luke Skywalker and
Admiral Ackbar as the primary hiding place for
Leia Organa Solo's
Jedi children, who had been the objects of multiple kidnapping attempts. The two largest components of Anoth were close enough to scrape together, causing powerful static discharges between them and bathing the third fragment in sensor-masking electrical storms. The third piece orbited a safe distance from the other two, and held a breathable atmosphere in its valleys in spite of its relatively low gravity.
The location of Anoth was known only to Luke,
Winter and Admiral Ackbar, though a New Republic double-agent eventually managed to divulge its whereabouts to
Imperial Ambassador Furgan. Furgan led an attack force against Anoth. At the time, the only inhabitants of the broken world were Winter and Anakin Solo, whose older siblins
Jacen and
Jaina had gone home to
Coruscant.
The automated defenses of the planetoid held off the Imperial attack, and Winter armed herself to protect the young Solo. In the end, the Imperials were defeated, and
Han and Leia decided to keep the family together rather than hide the children. Anoth was evacuated and remains uninhabited.
