Felucia (pronounced /fʌ'luʃə/ or /fʌ'lusiə/) was a plant-covered, fairly inhospitable planet between Rhen Var and Colunda Sector, near Mossak and the Perlemian Trade Route.
Felucia had a diversity of bizarre plants, fungi, and animals which were almost rubber-like and translucent, as well as enormous Pitchers. When the sun shone, the environment glittered like multicolored glass. Most of Felucia was entirely covered by a humid, fetid landscape of huge fungal forests, and its wildlife included native gelagrubs, immigrated acklays, and a prodigious sarlacc.
Felucia was colonized by the Gossam in 40,000 BBY [source?], early in their interstellar history. Felucia was one of their earliest colonies, though it was one of the least populated since its vast fungus jungles proved too wild to support large Gossam colonies. As such, the planet became little more that an exotic retreat world for the wealthy Gossam along with their lowly servants and laborers. The planet was entirely controlled by the Commerce Guild, and resistance to the Guild was found in scattered townships in the wilderness. These townships were home to escaped workers, criminals, and enemies of the Guild.
When the Gossam colonized Felucia, the native Felucian species went underground or lived in small villages in the thickest forests. Many, if not all, of the Felucians were force sensitive, and had a communal relationship with the planets ecosystem.
