In the fictional Star Wars universe, Ithor is a planet located around the Outer Rim. The planet was renowned for both the variety and pristine nature of its ecology. The Ithorians themselves, nicknamed "Hammerheads" due to their distinctive physiology, developed massive floating cities so that the planet's surface could remain unscathed. After these cities were developed, it became illegal for an Ithorian to set foot on the surface of the planet unless he remained there permanently. Despite the harsh restrictions tied to such an act, many Ithorians heeded the call of "Mother Nature" and moved from the cities to the forests below.

At one point, scientists attempted to bond the telepathic capablities of the Baffor tree with another and more vicious trees appeared on the planet surface. The result was a new parasitic life named "Spore", but its parasitic hostility forced the Ithorians to lock it away in an asteroid, where it was eventually rediscovered by miners. ("Spore", part of the "Galaxy of Fear" Star Wars book series.)
