Mustafar

Sorry; I was very preoccupied with returning to the real world after lots of vacation.

Mustafar (MUST-uh-far) is a volcanic world with no moons and one sun, 53,000 light years from the Core. It was, from what I understand, wrenched apart gradually due to opposite gravitational forces from Lefrani and the closer Jestefad. Because of the great pressure, I suppose faults formed, and, in turn, volcanoes and lava rivers. Mustafarians and Mustafar lava fleas are the natives species to this volcanic planet, the latter being the nonsentient mounts of the two subspecies of the former. Mustafarians are divided into the northern subspecies and the southern. The northern half of this race is tall and thin, and the southern half is shorter, and a bit stockier. The Mustafarians used the shells of the lava fleas for armor, due to heat-protective qualities, and treasured them as agile mounts. Even without the lava flea's pelts, Mustafarians' skin was hard enough to withstand normal blaster beams. This planet is very well-known because of the Duel on Mustafar, the last confrontation for a mostly human Jedi we all know very well. Because most of Anakin retired on Mustafar, this battle was the last for Darth Vader before he donned the suit.
