Varonat/Legends

Varonat was a planet located in the Anoat sector of the Outer Rim Territories, situated along the Ison Corridor. It was a steaming jungle and adopted home of the Morodin species.

History

The Morodins colonized the planet in 26,000 BBY. The descendants of these colonists ensured the survival of the species, which went extinct on their original homeworld.

Human colonists from the planet Salliche came to Varonat 250 BBY, founding the settlements of Tropis-on-Varonat and Edgefields-on-Varonat. These settlements never grew to more than a few thousand people, however.

During the Clone Wars, Varonat was plagued by pirates. A force under Ki-Adi-Mundi and Anakin Skywalker was dispatched to deal with them in 21 BBY.

After the Battle of Endor, several Krish under Gamgalon discovered that the fermented juice of Morodin-fertilized aleudrupe berries could be used in place of tibanna gas in blasters. They covered their operation with a Morodin-hunting safari, but the smuggler Talon Karrde, investigating the operation, wound up destroying it within a few years.

The planet was later directly represented in the New Republic Senate.
