Kirdo III is a desert world located in the Outer Rim Territories of the galaxy. It's the homeworld of the Choobas. The planet is covered by deserts of white sand and plains of dried mud. Strong 400-kilometer-per-hour winds are common, and so are powerful sandstorms. It hardly ever rains in Kirdo III, but when it does, it can last for several days, filling dry lakes and riverbeds and inundating the mud plains.
