Nam Chorios

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

Nam Chorios was a rather desolate planet that still supported Human life. It was in a constant state of dusk due to its dim sun. About 752 BBY, the planet was colonized by refugees from Meridian. The Grissmath Dynasty of Meridian founded a penal colony on the world in 702 BBY. The Grissmaths introduced drochs to the planet in a failed attempt to kill the prisoners. Centuries later, a Hutt Jedi named Beldorion traveled to Nam Chorios and discovered that its Tsil crystals' energy magnified his Force abilities. Beldorion would set himself up as a petty local tyrant.

Eventually, the descendants of the original prisoners had become a tough, independent group of settlers called the "Oldtimers". In 19 BBY, Seti Ashgad was exiled to Nam Chorios by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine for opposing increased security measures, a move which upset Bail Organa. The Oldtimers came into conflict with a more recent group of settlers called the "Newcomers" in 13 ABY. Seti Ashgad planned to unleash a deadly infestation of drochs throughout the Meridian Sector called the Death Seed Plague as part of a deal with Moff Getelles of the Antemeridian sector and the Loronar Corporation. Getelles's navy would then invade the Meridian Sector. However, their plot failed because of Jedi/New Republic efforts and the intervention of Admiral Daala.
