Bosthirda is an existing planet from Legends.<ref>https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Bosthirda/Legends</ref>

== History ==
At some point after the death of [[Darth Xedrix]] in 3954 BBY, a [[Dreaming Vineyard|vine]] grew through his corpse, absorbing some of his dark side powers. The vine eventually grew to cover most of Bosthirda's main continent.

During the [[New Sith Wars]], Bosthirda was used as a shipyard and dock. [[Darth Nomus]] used it as a staging ground for an invasion of [[Galactic Republic|Republic]] space.<ref name="Vectivous">''Darth Vectivous''</ref>

During the [[Galactic Civil War]], the [[Prophets of the Dark Side]] had a temple on Bosthirda, where they had fled from [[Dromund Kaas]] after [[Kadann]] had predicted the [[Palpatine|Emperor]]'s death at [[Battle of Endor|Endor]]. By consuming the vine's psychoactive grapes, the Prophets enhanced their visions and were able to communicate with the sentient vine itself.

In 5 ABY, [[Grand Admiral]] [[Afsheen Makati|Makati]] and the Dark Jedi [[Azrakel]] [[Battle of Bosthirda|attacked]] Bosthirda. Makati ordered a [[Torpedo Sphere]] to fire on the Prophets' temple, but the vine turned the torpedos back on the attackers. Subsequently, Kadann gave the order to detonate [[Bosthirda's moon]], forming a near-impassable debris field around the planet. When Azrakel and [[Ken]] landed on Bosthirda, Ken convinced the vine to abandon the Prophets, allowing Azrakel to kill Kadann. Shortly afterwards, [[Lumiya]] and [[Carnor Jax]] arrived, killing some of the vine around the temple using defoliator spray and finishing off the rest of the Prophets. The vine, though badly damaged by defoliators and falling debris from the moon, would eventually regrow to conquer the planet again.<ref>''[[Empire of Ashes: Fear]]''</ref>
