And then the mushrooms rose and fire swept away all before it, and so ended the duration of paradise.
—Excerpt from a Cruentus-era historical record
Cul-Huq was an idyllic, peaceful world similar to Alderaan, in the Inner Rim. Sparsely populated, it was rich in resources and was varied in terrain. During the Cruentusian War, a battle occurred over the planet between the Srav Federation and the Necasian Military. Towards the end of the battle, the Sravs nuked half the planet, reducing one half to ash and poisoning the rest with radiation, effectively making the world uninhabitable. By the time of the Galactic Republic, millennia later, the planet was designated too dangerous and thus did not appear on most charts.
