Dorin was a dark and dusty planet in the Expansion Region. It was the homeworld of the Kel Dors, with an atmosphere of a unique gas and helium.

[edit] Description
The planet was situated between two black holes, making access to the planet limited, while space travel for the natives was highly dangerous. Dorin's atmosphere contained very little oxygen, and barely supported life. This atmosphere mix affected the evolution of the Kel Dor, requiring them to wear antiox breath masks to filter out oxygen while offworld. Kel Dor society and industry largely revolved around technology.
[edit] History
The planet was home of the Baran Do, a Force cult predating the Jedi.[2] Dorin joined the Galactic Republic in 5,975 BBY, and had direct representation in the Galactic Senate. Dorin later joined the New Republic, and the Baran Do engaged in contact and exchange with the New Jedi Order.
Jedi Master Plo Koon, his uncle, and his niece, Sha Koon, were all from Dorin.
