Julsujod III was a water world[3] located in the Julsujod system, a part of the Outer Rim Territories' Tolonda sector.[1] It was the homeworld of Stribers, a species of telepathic aquatic sentients.[3]
At some point five millennia before the Galactic Civil War,[4] a series of cataclysms occurred on several water worlds throughout the galaxy, including Julsujod III. The catastrophes left the native inhabitants helpless until a group of spacefaring benefactors arrived and helped relocate the species of the affected worlds to the[3] Mid Rim[5] planet Iskalon.[3]
On Iskalon, the Stribers from Julsujod III eventually became the rarest of the species constituting the Iskalonian cultural group and faced extinction. At some point during the reign of the New Republic, the Shi'ido anthropologist Doctor Hoole was studying the ruins of the Iskalonian homeworlds, including Julsujod III, to determine the nature of the cataclysms that occurred there and the identity of the Iskalonian benefactors.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
Julsujod III was first mentioned in the article "The University of Sanbra Guide to Intelligent Life: The Marvel Series," which was authored by Rich Handley and Joe Bongiorno and was published in Star Wars Gamer 1[3] on September 1, 2000.[6] The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas placed the Julsujod system, and therefore Julsujod III, in grid square Q-17.[2]

Since "The University of Sanbra Guide to Intelligent Life: The Marvel Series" — Star Wars Gamer 1 establishes that the relocation of the Iskalonian species was prefaced by the cataclysms on the species' original homeworlds, the cataclysms must also have occurred around that time.
