CAAMAS See Also: Caamas Caamas is a toxic planet in the Cirius System that was formerly a highly populated habitable world, until the Empire bombarded it shortly after the Clone Wars , killing nearly all the inhabitants of the planet. The native Caamasi were a peaceful civilization, much like Alderaan , so naturally, they were at the top of Palpatine 's list of planets to be destroyed. The destruction of Caamas remained a mystery for some time because Caamas had a very powerful planetary shield, and the Empire somehow managed to bring it down. It was later revealed in the '' The Hand Of Thrawn Duology '' that it was sabotaged by a group of Bothans working for the Empire. The issue with the Caamas document nearly tore the New Republic apart; this was actually a clever scheme devised by Moff Disra , who went against Admiral Pellaeon 's wishes of peace. 123 CADOMAI Cadomai is a frigid world, largely covered by sparse tundra. The planet is home to the Snivvians . CAL-SETI Cal-Seti was home to the ''. CARIDA Carida is first mentioned in the '' Star Wars '' Expanded Universe as the site of an Imperial training academy, the Imperial Academy . It was a large planet with high gravity and a wide variety of climates. The planet was destroyed by Kyp Durron using the Sun Crusher . At the time, Kyp was under the influence (but not control) of the Sith Lord Exar Kun . 456 Carida was also the homeworld of Admiral Ozzel . CASTELL Castell is the homeworld of the Gossam . During the Clone Wars , Castell was the headquarters of the Commerce Guild . CATHAR Cathar is the homeworld of the cat-like species of the same name, the Cathar . Cathar was one of the worlds conquered by the Mandalorian s during the Mandalorian War . Cathar is a planet of savannah. CATO NEIMOIDIA One of the ''. It is a colony world of the extremely wealthy planet Neimoidia , and is located in the Colonies region of the galaxy. The planet is famous for its bridges, and is sometimes given the accolade "The Bridge World". Several events took place on Cato Neimoidia during the Clone Wars , including a failed mission with Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker . Eventually, the Galactic Republic took control of the planet. Cato Neimoidian citizens' refusal to lose their home caused some minor uprisings in some bridge cities, but the Republic learned to control them by sending out frequent patrols. Most of these patrolling assignments were given to Jedi Master Plo Koon and his clone division. Master Koon flew in his Jedi Starfighter from city to city, keeping watch for disturbances involving the citizens. When Chancellor Palpatine enacted Order 66 , causing all Clone Troopers to kill the Jedi, the instructions quickly reached Cato Neimoidia. The clone wingmen flying with Master Koon received the message, and fired upon the Jedi’s starfighter. His ship spun out of control and crashed into one of the planet's bridges. It is unclear whether or not George Lucas intended Cato Neimoidia to be the original homeworld of the Neimoidians. The planet Neimoidia is supposedly where they originate from, but that is an Expanded Universe concept. 7 CENTARES Centares is a terrestrial planet with a Temperate climate and no moons. Its population is estimated to be about one billion. It was on this planet where Darth Vader learned the name of Luke Skywalker . CEREA Cerea is a temperate, forested planet that is the homeworld of the species of the Cereans . Ki-Adi-Mundi is from this planet.

The Bith now live in cities that are sealed off from the rest of the world to avoid the massive pollution. COLIS Colis is a small farming planet that has been the site of a dark secret. The Sith left no trace of the ancient city Dawanugo because they feared that all the mysteries of the events that occurred there would be told. During the Sith control of Taris and Telos they hid artifacts and Republican wreakage from the world above Jon Cave. This cave is now Colis's main tourist attraction. They say looking upon its lost treasures is a curse. They also say that a Sith Spirit will posses the viewer of these wonderful gifts to the galaxy. Many terrorists find weapons that still work. Some fear it is their intent to use these ancient weapons but don't have the resources or man power to do so. What will become of Colis is undecided. COLLA IV Colla IV is a world far from the galactic core, which is inhabited by Colicoids, a species known for their callous and murderous nature. The Colicoid Creation Nest was contracted by the Trade Federation to design the Droideka (which they created in their own, insectoid image) and also the Droid Tri-Fighter , which was based on the skull shape of a predator native to the planet, for the Confederacy Of Independent Systems . The planet has been in a diplomatic row for years, in relation to the death and consumption of a number of off-world visitors. COMMENOR Commenor is a temperate planet located near the edge of the Corellian Sector . It serves mainly as a starport and trading planet. CONA Cona is the homeworld of the Arcona .

Most of the planet itself is green and lush, with great, cosmopolitan cities such as its capital, Coronet, alongside forests, beaches, swamps, gently rolling grasslands, and spectacular mountains. Large space stations and shipyards, as well as most of the industry, are located in orbit.11121314151617 The planet is depicted up in the ''. CORULAG Corulag is a populated terrestrial world located in the Corulus System . Corulag was a Core World —that is, it lay close to the center of the galaxy and very near to the capital of the New Republic , Coruscant . The population is mostly Human with Wookiee s, Aqualish , Ithorian s and Selkaths representing it as well. The terrain of the planet includes Urban areas, oceans, Plain s, Bamboo forests, and Jungle s. In '' The Unifying Force '', the nineteenth and final novel in the '' New Jedi Order '' series, Corulag was the site of a battle between elements of the New Republic fleet led by Galactic Alliance generals Wedge Antilles and Garm Bel Iblis en route to an attack on Coruscant, and invading Yuuzhan Vong forces. Corulag is also the homeworld of the smuggler Duran Lordes. CORUSCANT See Also: Coruscant Coruscant, seen in Episodes , was the Capital of the Old Republic , the Galactic Empire , the New Republic , the Galactic Alliance , and the Yuuzhan Vong occupation at various times. It is generally agreed that Coruscant is the most important world in the Star Wars Galaxy , evidenced by the fact that its hyperspace coordinates are (0,0,0). The planet is essentially one giant city, with skyscrapers jutting several kilometers into the atmosphere. Approximately 1 trillion people inhabit the planet. When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded, they destroyed one of its four moons and used massive Dovin Basals to move the planet into a tighter orbit, allowing lush vegetation to grow on it. It was then called Yuuzhan'tar ("Creche of the Gods", in the Yuuzhan Vong language) and made the capital of the Yuuzhan Vong occupation until being recaptured by the Galactic Alliance. 18192021222324 CORVIS MINOR Corvis Minor is a planet with an utterly forgettable history. Most complete Imperial libraries have a multiple datacard box set named ''The Complete History of Corvis Minor''. However, contained within the box is a compact, yet powerful emergency blaster. This oddity was the result of the Emperor 's efforts to provide hidden, secret resources for his agents' use. Given Corvis Minor's complete lack of significance in galactic history, it was considered highly unlikely that anyone other than one of the Emperor's agents would ever discover one of these hidden blasters. During his escape from the Super Star Destroyer Lusankya , Corran Horn serendipitously obtained a blaster from a Corvis Minor history box in Ysanne Isard 's private library while searching for a Secret Door or mechanism. He ironically remarked, ''If a blaster is considered the complete history of Corvis Minor, I'm thinking it's not a vacation spot.'' During the Thrawn Crisis, former Emperor's Hand Mara Jade was able to use her knowledge of this secret Imperial resource to obtain a blaster from a library on a residental floor of the Imperial Palace when she realized the Palace had been infiltrated by Imperial agents bent on kidnapping the Solo s; her intervention would prove crucial. Interestingly enough, Corvis Minor featured a secret Imperial base which housed three squadrons of TIE Defenders , which were produced on site. Ysanne Isard took control of the facility in a plot to recover her Super Star Destroyer, Lusankya, using only fifty men. This means that the base would have required only 14 or so support staff, which implies that it was only a small facility. CSILLA Csilla is the homeworld of the mysterious and reclusive Chiss and capital world of the Chiss Empire. Csilla is a cold world of glaciers and snowy wastes located deep within Chiss Space, in the Unknown Regions of the galaxy. Glaciers cover the normally warm equatorial regions of the planet, while solid ice locked the poles in perpetual winter. In order to survive, the Chiss had to build energy-efficient warrens beneath the ice, as close to the geothermal warmth of the planet as possible. Underground travel routes connect the various underground sections of Csilla. The iceways were bored through the bedrock of the planet, so that they were unaffected by the shifting ice found on the planet's surface. Specialized carriages moved passengers and cargo through the tunnels. CULARIN Cularin is a tropical planet in the Cularin System . It has two moons, the molten Rennokk and the barren Tilnes . It is the primary world that the '' Star Wars Roleplaying Game '' RPGA " Living Force " campaign centers around. CYBLOC Cybloc is a greenish planet orbiting the star Erg Es 992 in the Meridian Sector . One of its moons, Cybloc XII , housed a New Republic trade base.

DANKAYO Dankayo was a world used as a Rebel base between the Battle Of Yavin and the Battle Of Hoth . Imperial forces mutilated the planet's surface, turning it into a single vast terrain of molten lava. It was here that the Empire's Magma Trooper division was first used. DANTOOINE See Also: Dantooine Dantooine was mentioned only once in the ''Star Wars'' films. In '''', Princess Leia tries to fool Grand Moff Tarkin into believing that the Rebel base is located there. Tarkin replies that Dantooine is "too remote" to use the Death Star on (the deciding factor here seems to be a political and social impact rather than military necessity). Dantooine was featured in both ''''. In '''', Dantooine is shown as a very wet world with perpetual rain which seems to have carved massive canyons and mesas. The natives of Dantooine are large, primitive Neanderthal -like humanoids. DANUTA A planet under the '' and the destruction of the Death Star. DA SOOCHA Da Soocha is a planet in Hutt Space .

DERALIA Deralia is the putative homeworld of Darth Revan in his fake biography, which gives the history of a Republic soldier. The planet's terrain is a vast expanse of forests and seas. Deralia also has a number of scattered settlements, in one of which holds a large Jedi enclave. Revan also may have gone there after the Jedi Civil War. DERRA IV Derra IV is a minor planet, far from the Galactic Core. It was the site of a crushing ambush in which Imperial forces destroyed a vital Rebel convoy and its escorts on their way to Hoth , just days before the Battle Of Hoth . DESPAYRE A prison planet located in the Horuz system in the distant Outer Rim . This planet was the site of construction for the first Death Star . It is almost unknown therefore ensuring secrecy of its construction yards. The terrain consisted of green jungle, rivers, and shallows sea.

DISTNA Disnta is a remote system where Ysanne Isard captures Rogue Squadron in an attempt to receive immunity for her crimes after the fall of the Galactic Empire and unleashing the Krytos Virus . In exchange, she would supply fighters for the squadron for them to attempt to retake the Hegemony worlds from Admiral Delak Krennel and Isard's only clone. DOLDUR Doldur is the primary planet in the Doldur System , and is the sector capital of Doldur Sector . DORIN Dorin is a dark, dusty world and is the homeworld of the Kel Dor . Jedi Master Plo Koon comes from Dorin. The planet is located near two Black Hole s, so not very many outsiders know much about it. Its atmosphere consists of Carbon Monoxide and Helium . Dorin is home to many proud Kel Dor Jedi who later become a great part of Luke Skywalker 's Jedi Council . DOSUUN Dosuun was home of an Imperial Remnant base commanded by Rax Joris – until the New Republic intercepted transmissions and sent a Jedi , Jaden Korr , to investigate. Korr killed Joris and alerted the New Republic, who arrived and mopped up the Remnant forces who survived Korr's attack. DRALL Drall is a planet in the Corellian System . The planet is primarily inhabited by the species of the same name, the Drall ; however there are also large numbers of Humans and Selonians . One notable planetary feature (and tourist attraction) is the Boiling Seas. There is a planetary repulsor on Drall, which was used millennia ago by an unknown race to move the planet into its current orbit around the star Corell. DROMUND KAAS Dromund Kaas is a remote planet consisting of swamps and oceans. Having once been part of the great Sith Empire , it became one of the many lost planets that had been deleted from the Jedi Archives . A Sith temple was the main feature of the planet, and it was there that Kyle Katarn fell to the Dark Side , before being rescued by Mara Jade . DRONGAR Drongar is featured prominently in the Medstar Duology that takes place during the Clone Wars . The planet is covered by huge forests and swamps. The climate is characterized by common monsoons with devastating electrical storms, soaring temperatures, and humidity over 90%. There is a large atmospheric oxygen content. The atmosphere is covered by layers of deadly spores. Drongar is known only for the bota plant, which has antibiotic/painkilling effects for some species. The planet has two small moons, and is located in a system with three other planets. DRUCKENWELL Druckenwell is a planet in Doldur Sector . It is best known for the BlasTech weapons manufacturing complex that is located there, as well as the Druckenwell Shipyard. DUBRILLION Dubrillion is an Outer Rim world covered in lush green forests and deep blue seas. It orbits near its almost-identical sister planet Destrillion . Neither world was inhabited until Lando Calrissian established a mining operation within the system's asteroid field. Dubrillion became his base of operations, which quickly grew into a luxury city. The planet was one of the first to fall during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. The Yuuzhan Vong caused a massacre when New Republic forces arrived to help evacuate the planet. DURO Duro is home to the alien race of the same name. Duros are interested in exploration (some credit them with inventing the Hyperdrive ) and have ventured off their home world to explore the galaxy, leaving Duro in a state of ruin. The Empire ruined the planet's Ecosystem and forced all the remaining Duros to move off the planet into orbiting city stations. The Empire also removed Duro from its own sector, placing it in the Corellian Sector , though the New Republic switched it back (it is sometimes still believed to be in the Corellian Sector). During the Yuuzhan Vong Invasion , Duro became a refugee world, causing overcrowding in the orbital space stations. The Yuuzhan Vong overtook Duro, but the New Republic won it back during a series of raids prior to the Battle Of Ebaq 9 . Duro was once again lush after the Yuuzhan Vong 'Vongforming' efforts. During the Clone Wars , the Confederacy Of Independent Systems spearheaded Operation Durge's Lance , a co-ordinated and major campaign that led to the capture of Duro. General Grievous was the commander of the operation. The swift success of the campaign sent shockwaves throughout the Galactic Republic , and even neutral Corellia began to tighten its defences. Neimoidian s, such as Nute Gunray , are descendents of Duro colonists of Neimoidia . DURREN Durren is a planet near the border between the Meridian and Antemeridian sectors that was home to a New Republic naval facility.
