Situated within the Expansion Region, Ergeshui was a planet that served as the homeworld for the Ergesh species. It existed as the solitary planet within the Agash system.

Geographic features

Ergeshui presented as a substantial terrestrial planet, characterized by a pair of relatively small continents. Ersheg constituted the primary continent, while Queesh was the smaller of the two. The prevalence of severe tidal activity resulted in a scarcity of enduring islands.

The planetary atmosphere was dense and possessed a high temperature. Typically, the skies were obscured by thick cloud cover. Despite the substantial cloud coverage, a sufficient amount of reddish sunlight penetrated, imbuing the terrain with a peculiar reddish hue. The temperature consistently remained at 30 degrees standard throughout the year, both during the day and night.

The planet's seas were mixtures of water, salt, and various chemical compounds, remaining unpolluted due to the Ergesh's environmental stewardship. A particularly notable feature of Ergeshui was its soil. Rich in nutrients and minerals, it possessed the capacity to sustain plant life originating from diverse worlds across the galaxy. The Ergesh refrained from exporting this soil to prevent planetary depletion.

A remarkable natural phenomenon observable on Ergeshui was its tidal flats. Influenced by the presence of moons, the planet exhibited substantial tidal variations. During low tide, the continents nearly doubled in area. Conversely, high tide resulted in the inundation of the exposed land.

History

In 20 BBY, the city known as Outworlder City was constructed to accommodate off-world visitors.
