Zyton

Zyton was a desert planet located in the Mid-Rim.

History
In 46 BBY, while attempting to colonize the planet, the Zidians discovered a species of primitive, but sentient beings. Evidence pointed to them not being native to the planet and 12 years later a crashed and aged ship was discovered. It was theorised that the creatures (known as Zytoni) had crashed onto the planet and slowly turned into the mindless creatures that they were. In 20 BBY the planet was used by the CIS as a base but they were driven out by the Grand Army of the republic and the Zidians. After this Hutts frequented the planet in order to force the Zytoni into slavery.

Geography
Zyton was a barren desert world with very little native life. The Hutts introduced many Tattooine species there to see how the Zytoni would cope. The planets surface was 54% water. Mountains, mesas, plateaus and buttes also littered the planet.

Economy
As the Zytoni were a primtive species they could not engage in trading with other speies. However the Hutts set up temporary bases in order to sell/buy the Zytoni.

Fauna
There were very few native species on the planet and the immigrated ones were mainly from Tattooine.
