A blue and green gem that hangs suspended in the blackness of space, Rakhuuun is a world of vast expanses of jungles and forests, with deep blue oceans dividing the planet into two major landmasses. The northern continent is overgrown with old forests in which the trees have wide, thick trunks and rise to the sky with gnarly branches. The southern continent is instead the domain of towering jungle growth, its trees overgrown with vines and other species of flora that thrive in the warm tropical climate there. In turn, the oceans of Rakhuuun are teeming with marine lifeforms that live in vast underwater caves or in the deepest trenches that separate the two main continents as their tectonic plates slowly drift apart.

Considering Rakhuuun's abundance of forest and jungle growth, as well as its relative proximity to Kashyyyk, it should come as no surprise that the Wookiees colonised this planet roughly four thousand years ago. They first settled in the forests of the northern continent, which they named Shyyyraak, where they built their cities primarily in the trees. Several generations later, the Wookiee colonists had made inroads into the much larger southern continent, a landmass they named Broorrwook, where their settlements were nestled against the tallest and thickest of the jungle trees. Rakhuuun became a testament to the Wookiees' ability to settle other worlds between the stars and spread their influence over their local interstellar neighbourhood as its population grew and settlements expanded to become veritable metropolises over generations.

Due to its proximity and connection to Kashyyyk, the planet Rakhuuun wasn't spared from the events of recent history. During the Clone Wars, the world served as a place of refuge for the Wookiees fleeing the conflict that had been brought to their homeworld. Later, during the events of the Galactic Civil War, Rakhuuun became a member of the New Republic around the time that Kashyyyk had been liberated. Yet, during the Fall of the New Republic, both Kashyyyk and Rakhuuun, as well as the other worlds of the Mytaranor sector, came under the control of the Faerytail Family, a member of the Imperial Union. Ever since, the new rulers of both Kashyyyk and Rakhuuun have made great efforts to broadcast and display their fair and benevolent treatment of the Wookiees to the galactic community and the conspicuous prosperity that followed thereafter.
