Talus
From SWG Wiki
Talus, a former starting planet, is a peaceful planet with low population that makes an excellent training ground for new players. Talus' MOBs slope gently from newbie to advanced levels, with a surprisingly low number of aggressive and deathblowing creatures. The NPC cities of Dearic and Nashal are home to nearly every profession trainer in the game, from Carbineer to Musician to Squad Leader to Ranger.
Rebel Alliance players can find a Rebel recruiter and several Rebel Mission Terminals in Dearic. Nashal is home to a Rebel Coordinator and an Imperial Mission Terminal. Imperials can find a much greater welcoming at the Talus Imperial Outpost, host to a squadron of Stormtroopers, AT-STs, an Imperial recruiter, and several Imperial quest NPCs.
Erran Sif and her fugitive brothers make their home on Talus, and represent a fair challenge to mid- and high-level characters. Also the anarchistic Aa'kuans, the Binayre Pirates and some ancestors of the aqualish warriors from the Aqualish-Corellian War centuries ago can be found on Talus.
Talus is also home to the mighty Tortur, one of the most visually-impressive creatures in Star Wars Galaxies.

[edit] Star Wars Lore
One of five habitable planets in the Corellian system, Talus is a temperate world very similar to Corellia. It has a wide range of terrain, including forests, grass plains, and mud flats. The planet is inhabited by three sentient species: humans; the stocky, fur covered Drall; and the sleek Selonians. Although all three species generally co-exist peacefully, they do have a history of political conflict that has been marked by sporadic violence.
Talus is roughly the same size as its sister planet, Tralus. Both orbit a common center of gravity, and are together known as the Double Worlds. Both Talus and Tralus are governed by the elected Federation of the Double Worlds, or Fed-Dub.
Like Corellia, Talus has remained largely neutral in the early days of the Galactic Civil War. The Empire monitors Talus for Rebel activity, but allows Fed-Dub to operate independantly and has yet to interfere with any of the planet's major corporations. Although Talus is less renowned than Corellia, the planet does have a vibrant economy that revolves around starship manufacturing.
Talus still holds many mysteries for explorers. In fact, it is rumored that a planetaty repulsor is located deep beneath the world's surface. The device may have been used eons before the Battle of Yavin, presumably to move Talus from an unknown location and into its current orbit.
