The Subterrel, also known as Subterrel Association or Subterrel sector, is a fictional location found within the Star Wars universe. Specifically, it is a minor galactic sector located in the Outer Rim Territories region, known for its rich collection of ore and other valuable resources. This makes the Subterrel a major hub for mining activities, and the region plays host to a multitude of large mining corporations and operations.
Despite its importance for resource extraction, the Subterrel is often depicted as a remote and particularly challenging environment. The living conditions are extremely harsh due to a variety of factors, such as challenging weather conditions and the disruption caused by constant mining expeditions. Also, being situated in the Outer Rim, it is far away from the central areas of governance, making it a rather lawless and dangerous area, particularly thriving with the activities of bounty hunters and smugglers.
In the Star Wars canon, these tough conditions have also given rise to some notable characters. For instance, BoShek, a character seen briefly in the New Hope, originated from Subterrel. He was a former ore digger and speeder racer, eventually turned a smuggler. His appearance, albeit brief, further emphasizes the tough, resourceful characters this Outer Rim sector seems to breed. Lastly, as is characteristic of most Outer Rim territories, the Subterrel has its share of stories of legendary events, battles and famous contributors to the Star Wars lore.
To put it in perspective, Subterrel, despite being an outlying district in the Star Wars universe, makes its impact by being a treasure trove of resources with a rough-and-tumble environment that breeds some of the galaxy's most resourceful and daring figures.
