Jomark/Legends
- "Not very populated. Less than three million people, all told. Or at least back when this was compiled. Doesn't look like anyone's taken official notice of the planet in fifteen years. Just the sort of place a Jedi might choose to hide from the Empire."
- ―Luke Skywalker
Jomark was one of six worlds in the Jomark system. Originally known as Bynas, it was absorbed into Xim's Empire as he expanded his borders from the Kingdom of Cron.
The planet was mostly covered by ocean, with one small continent called Kalish, and thousands of small islands dotting the surface. It had a population of 2.8 million spread across Kalish. These colonists lived by fishing and sea farming.[7]
It was at his residence on Jomark that Joruus C'baoth awaited the arrival of Luke Skywalker.
In a town near the High Castle, Joruus C'baoth set up his rule, including solving disputes, which he later had Luke do. In one argument, C'baoth used Force lightning on a citizen for attacking another, alarming Luke.[4]
The Yuuzhan Vong captured Jomark during their invasion of the galaxy.[2]
Behind the scenes
- "Another Tuckerization: Mark Jones of Tampa. Fortunately, Mark never took offense that Jomark was only a minor world."
- ―Timothy Zahn
Jomark was first mentioned in the 1991 novel Heir to the Empire, the first volume in the The Thrawn Trilogy written by Timothy Zahn.[6] It first appeared in the 1992 novel Dark Force Rising, the trilogy's second entry.[4] The planet was named by Zahn after his friend Mark Jones.[8]
