Rugosa was a temperate moon located in the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories close to the planet Toydaria. The terrain of the moon's surface included large forests of coral, and rocky cavernous areas. During the Clone Wars, the moon was considered neutral territory, and was chosen as the secret rendezvous point for Jedi Grand Master Yoda to meet with King Katuunko of the Toydarian people to discuss a Toydarian alliance with the Galactic Republic. The meeting was disrupted by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, who hoped to gain the allegiance of the Toydarians themselves, but Katuunko chose to side with the Republic after Yoda defeated a small Separatist force on the moon.
