The Kur forests existed within the Kur Minor system, which itself was situated in Wild Space. These forests were known for their thorn vines, a notorious poisonous plant. The Human scout Casti Tholon journeyed through the Kur forests sometime around 2 ABY. During her expedition, she suffered severe lacerations from the thorn vines, resulting in extensive scarring on her head, arms, and lower legs.
Alliance Intelligence Reports, a sourcebook published in 1995 for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game by West End Games, included a reference to the Kur forests.
