Wookiepedia on the Flora of Aduba-3
Read the Original Text Here, Here and Here!
Aduba-3 was an isolated planet on the Outer Rim that became a haven for criminals and spacers with nowhere else to go. Originally settled by colonists from the Sacred Way religion, Aduba-3 became saturated by outsiders after a bogus chromium rush—this scam, run by the criminal Tenloss Syndicate, led to the planet's sole city of Tun Aduban becoming a shadowport by the era of the Galactic Civil War. Tun Aduban was the center of society on Aduba-3, as most of the rest of the planet was barren desert spotted with lightly settled grasslands. By 0 ABY many still lived in the Sacred Way's original small farming villages on these plains, which mostly grew maze-stalk.
Located along the Triellus Trade Route galactic east of Hutt Space, Aduba-3 became a hotspot of activity in 0 ABY. This stemmed from the visit of Rebel hero Han Solo, who traveled to the world to lie low after the Battle of Yavin. On Aduba-3, Solo was famously caught up in a dispute between the small village of Onacra and a local swoop gang called the Cloud-Riders, putting together a posse known as the Star-Hoppers of Aduba-3 to put an end to the gang's threats. Solo's exploits on Aduba-3 soon became legend throughout the galaxy, inspiring a popular holo-doc by 2 ABY.
Luna Weed Luna-weed was a plant native to Aduba-3. If chewed, it could produce delusional effects in the user. It gave rise to the phrase "chewing the luna-weed" when referring to someone who was acting crazy.
Dune-Cactus Dune-cactus, sometimes referred to simply as "cactus" was a species of plant found in the deserts of Aduba-3. It was the largest living thing Jimm Doshun had shot at with his blaster prior to joining the Sprites. Han Solo did not consider the dune-cactus to be fit for eating.
