Bimmiel

The fifth planet of the system designated MZX33291, orbiting its star in an elongated orbit. The name was given in honor of the Imperial scout who rediscovered the system.

Because of the highly elongated orbit, the world's climate changes drastically. When the planet approaches the star, the ice caps melt, humidity and plant growth increase, and the local shupis come out of hibernation and multiply rapidly. The predatory slashrats cannot tolerate the heat and retreat to the poles. When the planet moves away, the caps freeze again, the predators return to the equatorial regions, and the shupi population returns to its previous level.

The planet was also home to sentient inhabitants who used simple wooden spears and tools. A scientific expedition came here in search of fossils, and the Jedi had to get it out of harm's way.
