Mustafar was a small planet located in the Mustafar system of the Outer Rim Territories, coreward of Rutan, between the Hydian Way and the Ninth Quadrant.
The tiny world of Mustafar was a fiery volcanic world where lava was mined like a precious natural resource. It was also the last capital of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Around this time, it would become historically important as the site of the clash between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, an event that shaped galactic history.

Geography
Mustafar was a young and volatile world, torn apart by opposing gravitational forces of the gas giants Jestefad and Lefrani, with the former being the closer of the two. Astride thick-skinned lava fleas, the natives leapt across the lava fields to mine the planet's deadly natural resources. Mustafarians oversaw the smelting facilities constructed by the Separatists on Mustafar.

Despite its hellish conditions, Mustafar has developed native lifeforms. A sentient race, known as Mustafarians, developed in the cooler hollows of the planet. They are divided into two subspecies: the tall, thin Northern Mustafarians (led by the enigmatic "Maverick Main") and the shorter, hardier Southern Mustafarians (aka "The Mustafar Rats"). The Techno Union took an interest in the planet and the mineral-rich molten rivers covering its surface, and employed the Mustafarians to mine these minerals. The Mustafarians made use of native "lava fleas", as well as the Techno Union's technology that gave them further protection from the heat. The natives had little interest in outworld politics and were content to work on their homeworld.

History

Confederate World
As a planet controlled by the Techno Union, Mustafar was a member of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, but remained largely untouched by the Clone Wars. As the war progressed, Count Dooku and the Separatist Council saw fit to build a fortified stronghold on Mustafar to be used in the event that the war against the Galactic Republic did not go well. The Techno Union, the Commerce Guild and the Trade Federation funded the costly fortress, which was designed to be able to withstand any prolonged assault. Mustafar's terrain and environment made it difficult enough to reach the bunker, but it was designed so that even if enemies could pass the terrain, they would be unable to take the fortress. Tractor beam and ray shield technology protected the fortress from the lava rivers and the interior chambers were climate-controlled.

Confrontation

Later, at the very end of the war, Darth Vader, formerly Anakin Skywalker, stormed the Separatist base and slew the Separatist Council under orders from Darth Sidious, and deactivated the droid armies, ending the war. Shortly afterwards, the duel between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader would take place on the lava planet. During the duel, the controls to the mining complex were destroyed and the repulsor fields dropped, allowing the violent lava eruptions to overwhelm the complex. Vader suffered grievous injuries including the loss of his remaining limbs and the searing of his lungs when he attempted to jump to higher ground from a platform on the lava river, only to be immobilized by Kenobi. He was later rescued by Emperor Palpatine, who brought him back to Coruscant where he was rebuilt into the feared cyborg executor of the Emperor at the Emperor Palpatine Surgical Reconstruction Center.

Battle of Mustafar
A Clone War refugee, Gizor Dellso, a Geonosian who hated the Empire, planned to start another Clone War. He reactivated a droid factory on Mustafar and he began creating a new droid army. He had acquired engineering drawings for a new, superior battle droid, but his plans to use these droids were foiled when Darth Vader's 501st Legion destroyed the factory and killed Gizor.
