It was a world of grasslands and mountains and the homeworld of the native Omwati.
History
A group of the indigenous Omwati established a small but successful colony on Coruscant around 4000 BBY, but their homeworld was long forgotten by the galactic community until rediscovered by Wilhuff Tarkin in 25 BBY. The planet was the site of a battle in 20 BBY. The planet was later subjugated by Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin. Tarkin stole a number of children from the planet to be trained as superweapon think-tank geniuses in an orbiting center. Only one child, Qwi Xux, survived thru this program; her fellow captives were killed, their home cities destroyed from orbit. The Omwati eventually achieved space travel and contacted their kin on Coruscant. Omwat eventually joined the New Republic.
Behind the scenes
The PC game Star Wars: Rebellion mistakenly places Omwat in the Dolomar sector of the Galactic Core.
