Skyrees

Skyrees was a planet in the Inner Rim. Though it orbited a blue giant, it's orbit was far enough out to give all but its tropical region a generally cold climate. It is inhabited by humans and the native Torgoryan race, who despite conflicts in the distant past now live in a well-united society. Ice-related sports are very popular there, and it has hosted the interplanetary Spin of Skyrees for ice artistry most years since 1249 BBY.

During the time of the Galactic Empire, the planet's leadership chose to sell out their loyalties, going above and beyond in their attempts to root out resistance on their planet and neighboring planets, and the Empire erected a base of operations on the planet from where they controlled the sector. Their treatment of the Torgoryan, however, angered the planetary natives of both races, and in 0 BBY a group led by a minor government official received Lané Votorina. They disrupted the government and weakened the planet's defenses in time for a rebel attack. The planet was taken under rebel control and remained so for the rest of the Galactic Civil War.
