Lok was a barren, dusty planet in the Mid Rim. Sulfur pools, lifeless rivers and volcanoes were commonly found on the planet.
[edit] History
An anomaly on the planet Lok was the mysterious "Great Maze of Lok", a square maze with several entrances and a small oasis in the middle. Settlers on the planet had no idea when it was built or why.
Nym lived on Lok as a child. He was a warlord during years leading up to the Clone Wars and founded a pirate group known as the Lok Revenants. They attacked ships coming and leaving the planet until Nym declared war against the Trade Federation, which later occupied the planet. After ten years, in 22 BBY, the Lok Revenants reclaimed the planet.
The Galactic Empire established an outpost there, as part of their plan to extend their control over less developed worlds. In 1 ABY, this was commanded by General Otto, who presumably led all Imperial forces on the planet.
Around 137 ABY, Lok was home to a cantina called Brogar's which served as a safe-house for various fugitives. It was there that Cade Skywalker captured gambler Naxy Screeger and Jedi Hosk Trey'lis.
Lok was also the home of the Kimogila creature.
[edit] Behind the scenes
- According to Jan Duursema on the Jedi Council Forums, Cade Skywalker's pants "belonged to a really tall Ewok with a Vader obsession. Cade got them at a thrift store on Lok." Presumably this is not canon.
- Lok is the Thai word for world.
