Ennth

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

Ennth was a planet that was severely destroyed every eight years by volcanic activity caused by the planet's moon coming into to contact with the planet's atmosphere. Inhabitants were evacuated and forced to wait on refugee stations for about a year for the eruptions to subside, then they would return to start all over again from scratch.

When this eight-year disaster occurred, settlements were rebuilt in the aftermath of the wreckage and named after the previous settlement. One example includes this sequence: Hopetown, New Hopetown, Newer Hopetown, Newest Hopetown, Another Hopetown.

Ennth's moon had a very elliptical orbit that carried it into a very close proximity with the planet, causing massive volcanic eruptions, tidal waves, groundquakes and other catastrophic phenomena that occur in sharp gravitational anomalies.

Ennth was the home planet of the Jedi Knight Zekk.
