Obi-Wan Kenobi and Quinlan Vos

A friendship so strong not even the storms of the Clone Wars could extinguish it! But how did these two legendary Jedi meet? Witness their first adventure together in Star Wars: The Stark Hyperspace War: Part 3!

Thyferra was a tropical world located in the Inner Rim. The planet was significant for being the primary source of bacta for the galaxy, making it both strategically and economically important. Over the course of its history, the native Vratix insectoids were consistently outmaneuvered by colonists for control of the bacta trade.

Hey so uh, is there anywhere else in the galaxy besides thyferra that makes/produces bacta? Or is that the only place?

This is actually something that can be unclear within the EU. Much of the time, Thyferra is referred to as the main source of bacta in the galaxy, or it is said that almost all bacta comes from Thyferra. It is possible that it can be produced on another world, but it would be too expensive, and probably low quality, to buy from anywhere else. No other world is specifically named, either. Thyferra is definitely the only world that has an abundance of the materials needed. You probably wouldn’t ever come across bacta produced anywhere but Thyferra, if such a thing does exist.

Do let me know if you need more information about bacta, its one of my favourite things to talk about. Good luck!
