*Dagobah is the principal planet in astar system of the same name. It appears on star charts and astrogation logs, but few people intentionally decide to visit it. There are no civilized space ports in the system and no conveniences of modern technology. To the neighboring star systems of the Sluis sector, Dagobah is considered a haunted, forsaken part of the galaxy for it was on Dagobah that the terrible events connected with the dark Jedi of Bpfassh finally came to an end. For that they are thankful, but few take the chance that any bit of the evil of those dark Jedi might remain, so they avoid the system like it was infected with some galactic plague.<br />The cloud-shrouded planet is teeming with all kinds of animal, insect and plant life. And, known to only a few, Dagobah served as home to Yoda, the Jedi Master, for years. From his tiny hut in the middle of the great swamp, Yoda remained hidden, watching the terrible events of the galaxy unfold while doing little. In ages past, he had trained more Jedi than he could remember. His last student, Luke Skywalker, came to him at the chosen time — the time Yoda had waited for.<br />Precious little remains as evidence that Yoda once lived in the Dagobah swamps. His hut has been reclaimed by the vegetation, practically covered over by moss and vines and sprouting roots. His few metal pots cannot rot away, but a fine moss has grown upon them, hiding them from all but the most determined searchers. He left no records or data pads full of Jedi knowledge. The only thing he left behind was the training he gave to Luke Skywalker.<br />In the years since Yoda's death, Luke Skywalker has had much time to contemplate the Jedi Master. Since hearing the stories of the dark Jedi of Bpfassh, he has learned that Dagobah has been credited as the last stop in the most powerful dark Jedi's reign of terror through the Sluis systems. However, no records exist of what ended that terror — the records state only that the terror ended. Luke has speculated that Yoda confronted the dark Jedi. He shudders trying to imagine an all-out confrontation between masters of both sides of the Force. He also believes that Dagobah's dark side cave is probably some aftereffect of the dark Jedi's presence. This seems to be supported by the object he found in the cave on his trip back to the planet. The object was a small, flat cylinder with five triangular keys on one side and flowing alien script on the other. Lando Calrissian identified the object as an Old Republic-era beckon call.<br />Luke has also given some thought as to how Yoda stayed hidden from the Emperor and Vader all those years. He thinks he has found the answer in that same dark side cave. The cave shielded him, Luke believes. Like a pair of positive and negative charges, Yoda's good Force was cancelled by the cave's evil. They were so close together that from a distance they looked like no charge at all.
