Khomm was a planet in the Khomm system on the edge of the Deep Core with wide blue seas, great land masses, and an abundance of oxygen. It was the home planet to the Khommites and the Khommite striders.

[edit] History
The Khommites possessed a culture of conformity, with a society that had remained unchanged for a millennium. They decided they had reached the pinnacle of their civilization in 990 BBY, so life on the planet remained static. Through the Khomm Central Population Planning, all of the citizens of Khomm were clones of previous generations. A clone of each person of each subsequent generation was created to ensure the continuation of their species.
The cities on Khomm were mathematically perfect grids, with square housing and gardens, all preplanned. The animal population of Khomm was also genetically controlled by the Khommites. If a visitor landed on Khomm, its dullness could literally make one crazy.
After his graduation from the Chandrilan Academy of Sciences, Shi'ido scientist Borborygmus Gog infiltrated the reclusive cloner ranks of Khomm to learn from them.
During the Clone Wars, Khomm remained loyal to the Galactic Republic. However, war-time cloning restrictions were difficult for the Khommites to live with.
One Khommite, Dorsk 81, left Khomm to study at Luke Skywalker's Jedi Praxeum because he discovered his Force abilities, doing something that generations before him did not do. When he returned, his predecessor, Dorsk 80, wished him to return to his old job, but he was trying to warn Khomm of an Imperial attack on Khomm. Refusing to listen, the Khommites did nothing until the planet was attacked, killing thousands and reducing their cities to rubble. It is unknown what became of Khomm after the attack, though it is known that two of Dorsk 81's clones, Dorsk 82 and Dorsk 83, came to train at the Jedi Praxeum, it is even more unknown what became of Khomm during the Yuuzhan Vong War.
Fauna on Khomm included the Khommite strider.
[edit] Behind the scenes
The PC game Star Wars: Rebellion mistakenly places Khomm in the Farfin Sector (a misspelling of the true Farrfin Sector) of the Galactic Core, not to be confused with the Deep Core.
