Concord Dawn/Legends
- "On Concord Dawn, cheating is a capital offense."

History
In 16 BBY, Jango's son Boba Fett married Sintas Vel and settled on Concord Dawn under the name of Jaster Mereel, taking up the position of Journeyman Protector and raising a daughter, Ailyn. Fett was imprisoned and granted the services of the famous Pleader Iving Creel to represent his case. He was unrepentant of the murder, though, and was exiled from Concord Dawn as a result.[2]
In 24 ABY, a Devaronian senior magistrate on Concord Dawn sympathized with the anti-Human Diversity Alliance movement and relocated certain Human prisoners to the Alliance's headquarters on Ryloth to be executed.[1]
Inhabitants
Legal cases were given to a Pleader, who would give a plea for his client before a sentence—anything up to exile or execution—was decided.[2] The law could be strict; cheating at sabacc, for example, was a capital offense. Laws were heavily enforced on Concord Dawn.[1]
Notable natives of Concord Dawn included Jaster Mereel and Imperial Lieutenant Sheckil, a former warrant officer on the world.[3]
Behind the scenes
Concord Dawn originated in Daniel Keys Moran's short story The Last One Standing: The Tale of Boba Fett, in which it is given as the homeworld of Boba Fett, whose original name is Jaster Mereel. Later works would retcon this, making Jaster Mereel a separate character and Concord Dawn his homeworld, and having Boba Fett spend time there under Mereel's name. The planet's name bears similarities to Condawn, a location mentioned in the third draft of the original Star Wars film. A New Zealand band has since taken the name Concord Dawn.
