Halmad
Halmad was a planet in Quelii sector, near the Vahaba asteroids and Selaggis VI,[source?] near Zsinj space, but controlled by the Imperial Remnant. It was a trade center at the hub of several hyperroutes. Its mining industry failed roughly between 200 BBY and 100 BBY,[1] and the inhabitants turned to grain farming;[source?] however, the location retained its importance due to the hyperspace routes.[1]
In 7.5 ABY during the Galactic Civil War, the planet was chosen by Wraith Squadron—a New Republic commando squadron—as the target for their raids while disguised as a pirate group called the Hawk-bat Independent Space Force. During one such raid, several TIE Interceptors were stolen from Victory Base, an Imperial base located on the planet. In another battle above, Wraith pilot Ton Phanan was shot down and died of his injuries despite a rescue attempt by his best friend Garik Loran.[1]
One of the planet's most reputed exports was Halmad Prime, the most expensive grain alcohol produced on Halmad, only available for purchase on-planet through the black market.[1]
