Legend

primary planet in the Chad system, and fourth from the star Chad, it is the homeworld of the Chadra-Fan race. The planet's environment is mainly based on water, with a few mountains and swamps thrown in for good measure. This makes the planet generally inhospitable. During a great storm, the planet was rocked with tectonic shifting, and a series of Great Waves swept the life from the swamps. This nearly destroyed the planet's primary native race, the Chadra-Fan, but they managed to survive in the mountains. The Chadra-Fan histories document at least five Great Waves, the last of which struck just ten years before the Battle of Yavin. In Queen of the Empire, Chad is a planet of rolling hills and farmland, and supports an extensive dairy industry. It has 9 moons which continually pull tides in a complex swirl of currents around the planet. The average day on Chad lasts 20 standard hours, and its year encompasses 380 local days. Note that Children of the Jedi denotes this world as Chad III.
