The Lowlands existed as an area on the world of Koshaga (see: planet). Approximately around the time of 3 ABY, during the Galactic Empire's involvement in the Koshagan uprising, numerous stormtroopers and Imperial vehicles flooded into the Lowlands. Their mission was to pursue the withdrawing survivors of the Koshagan People's Movement, which included the soldier known as Emon Kref, and to obliterate anything in their path.
The Lowlands were featured in flashback sequences within "Beyond Hope," which is a short story authored by Michael Moreci. This story was included in the 2020 collection titled From a Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back.
