- "Remember the story I told you? Evona fell to darkness, and Ardos exploded in rage. Ardos is our white dwarf. Varl is in orbit around Ardos."
"But Varl is a dead planet. The Jedi Archives were clear on that."
"Maybe not as dead as we thought." - ―Reen Irana, Mander Zuma and Eddey Be'ray
Ardos was a binary star with Evona in the Varl system, and the original homeworld of the Hutts. According to Hutt legend, Ardos became angry and vented off its layers of gas, destroying the atmosphere of the orbiting Varl, after Evona was swallowed by a black hole. In truth, by the time the Hutts established themselves on Nal Hutta, Ardos was a white dwarf type star.
