Abregado-rae is a major manufacturing and trade-oriented planet, the third of five worlds in the Abregado system in the Core Worlds and the homeworld of the Gados. It sat at the beginning of the Rimma Trade Route, and was also the starting point for the Shapani Bypass or the "Bacta Run". The planet had a reputation as one of the Core Worlds' more rough-and-tumble worlds. It was home to the infamous Abregado-rae Spaceport.
Though Abregado-rae has been both part of the Republic and the Empire, it currently rests as an independent planet. It is primary controlled by the crime syndicates, including the Black Sun.
Despite Abregado-rae's temperate climate, there was a very limited number of native species present, with less than ten species of large animals native to the planet. These included two species of sentient beings: the tall, lanky Gados, which formed the majority of planet's native population, and small, low-intelligent Moochers (said to be related to the Atzerrian Meeks).
Unlike most Core Worlds, Abregado-rae was fairly backward, to the point of being compared with worlds in the Outer Rim Territories. The planet's spaceports seemed safe, at least to the untrained eye, but in fact it was a known smuggler's paradise.
The planet had many popular establishments including the LoBue Cantina, Lost Loves Casino, Njinska's Tavern, Starlight Theater, The Star of Chance, and the Triple Nova Casino. These were located in either Abregado-rae Spaceport or Le Yer, both of which attracted visitors from all parts of the galaxy. The city of Le Yer was a popular coastal resort, with its extension, Phyrstal Island accessible by hydrobikes or floatboats.
Abregado-rae was also one of the few planets where the rare metal electrum was found. It was known to occasionally bubble to the surface in the Gilt Gushers. This mineral could be used for crafting lightsabers with many unique qualities; Darth Sidious and Mace Windu both possessed lightsabers containing electrum.
