Engira was a planet in the Jospro sector, located in the Outer Rim Territories. Around 34 BBY, Trench, while in the employ of the Corporate Alliance, destroyed a pirate base on the planet. For some time before the destruction of the first Death Star, Engira served as a supply colony for the Galactic Empire. Convoys of supplies dispatched from Engira were transported to Imperial garrisons and facilities throughout the galaxy. This had the effect of making the planet a prime target for pirates. During the Galactic Civil War, a convoy of three freighters carrying several hundred metric tons of food and ammunition—valued at 18.2 credits—was ambushed near Engira.
