Rasafar

Rasafar was a tropical planet in the fringes of the northern Outer Rim near Mandalorian space. The world, made up of island and atoll chains surrounded by a massive ocean. There were an abundance of fish, crustaceans, squids, and birds that descended from species brought by traders from other planets. The planet was settled by Humans, whose population quickly reached the millions. Despite this, Rasafarian towns remained badly impoverished and riddled with addiction, robbery, and gang conflict. Marcan plants, whose buds could be harvested, dried, and smoked to produce a psychoactive effect on Humans and Hutts. Marcan continued to dominate Rasafar's trade with the Hutts and Mandalorians until Imperial forces stormed the islands and began destroying marcan farms in the early to mid Imperial era. Rasafar's democratic government was independent prior to the Imperial invasion, though relied on neighboring governments for military assets as the Rasafarian government focused on stamping out local gangsters and drug manufacturers.
