Begeren is a fictional planet in the Star Wars universe, appearing in the Star Wars: The Old Republic era and related Expanded Universe materials. Positioned in the galactic frontier, Begeren is depicted as a resource-rich world whose strategic location has made it the subject of colonial and economic competition within the Outer Rim.

Geography and environment on Begeren are described as diverse, with biomes that include temperate lowlands, coastal regions, and rugged highlands. The planet is home to several settlements near favorable harbors or rivers, and a network of orbital installations that support mining and trade. Climate varies by region, with some areas experiencing seasonal storms and others enjoying more stable conditions.

Inhabitants and society on Begeren are diverse, featuring multiple species alongside human settlers. Local governance is often portrayed as a planetary administration or council, with arrangements shaped by historical periods of colonial rule, occupation, or factional control. The economy traditionally centers on extractive industries such as mining, timber, and ore processing, with export routes linking Begeren to neighboring worlds and major spaceports.

History and notable events on Begeren reflect its role as a frontier world. Colonization occurred during galaxy-spanning expansion, and its assets have drawn attention from competing factions, leading to periods of conflict and shifting control. In Star Wars lore, Begeren serves as a backdrop for questlines and lore entries within The Old Republic, rather than a primary setting in the films.

In popular culture, Begeren is referenced in game manuals, lore compendiums, and fan discussions as part of Star Wars extended universe maps and narratives. Its portrayal varies between sources, reflecting different authors and narrative needs.
