Lothal

Lothal was a planet in the Outer Rim Territories. By around 5 BBY, it was in a state of economic disrepair and invited the Galactic Empire on the promise of prosperity and security.

History
There were few options for young citizens on the planet, apart from being recruited to join the Stormtrooper Corps, Imperial pilot flight school, or having to work at the capital's Sienar Fleet Systems factory, building TIE starfighters. During the Imperial occupation of the world, a rebellion began to grow as the local inhabitants grew unsatisfied with the Empire's practices.

Locations

 * Ezra's Tower - Formerly use to be a communications tower until it was later abandoned and became the home of Ezra Bridger.
 * Capital City - A city on Lothal and the centre of all trade.
 * Tarkintown - A small settlement unadvitised by the Empire. Named after Grand Moff Tarkin, governor of the Outer Rim and inhabited by farmers who lost their farmlands to the Empire and anyone who tried to fight back got arrested for treason.

Behind the scenes
After StarWars.com's reveal of the planet Lothal and its Sienar factory, a website called www.sienarfleetsystems.com appeared. It consists of only an image presented as an advert/propaganda poster for Sienar Fleet Systems on Lothal.
