Located in the rim of settled space, the moon of Endor orbits a great gas giant known as Tana. The planet possesses vast forests of giant trees which are broken up by large oceans. It also is home to various sentient and semi-sentient species, and a host of dangerous flora and fauna. It is because of the perilous nature of the planet that Endor has seen very little extraterrestrial visitation, despite its abundance of harvestable resources.
That is until the Galactic Empire came. Using the moon as a staging ground, they began the construction of the second Death Star in orbit. While imperial soldiers and stormtroopers landed throughout the planet, their interactions with the native Ewoks were minimal at best. It wasn't until the arrival of the Rebellion, that the tribes rose up against the Empire, aiding the Rebels in destroying the battle station, and with it Emperor Palpatine.
The destruction of the Death Star by the Rebel forces devastated the ecology. Debris from the battle station caused widespread destruction on the surface and caused dust to be ejected into the atmosphere. An ecological collapse soon followed and the nascent New Republic was forced to evacuate the Ewoks to colonies throughout the sector.
Many years later, descendants of the Ewoks returned to their planet to find it miraculously healed. The being known as the Entity, which the Ewoks called the Lifegiver, sacrificed much of its life energy in order to heal the planet. Settling on the world, the ursine tribespeople venerated the resting place of the Lifegiver in the Valley of Lights, where the Entity drifts between life and death.
Recently, the Mythic Avengers traveled to Endor to commune with the Entity and gain the power to defeat Darkseid. The Lord of Apokolips himself set foot on the planet to stop them but could not prevent Mary from receiving the White Lantern Ring and the Mythic Avengers escaped in their starship with a cargo hold full of Ewok villagers.
It is believed Darkseid entered the tomb of the Lifegiver, but it's unclear what occurred after that.
