Almar was a tropical planet located in the Elrood sector's Almar system with beaches, marmaw-inhabited oceans, rain forests, and wide plains of orange grasses. The planet was dedicated to the tourist trade and its surface was called Almar Downside. The planet was orbited by a space station known as Almar Upside, which was considered Almar's capital. The planet was first discovered by outsiders prior to 3,951 BBY and was known as the source of Norris roots. Norris dye was used by ancient Jedi to make Norris robes, which when soaked in this dye would provide some protection against energy and/or electrical-based attacks.

The Rebel Alliance, who had had an outpost on the capital station, was able to erase their data files in Almar Upside's central computers before the Galactic Empire invaded the Elrood sector. The planet remained outside Imperial control, which allowed the Alliance to set up dummy corporations to serve as cover for a series of listening posts.
