- "I felt Sernpidal break and suffocate. Now I know what Alderaan was like."
- ―Luke Skywalker[src]
Sernpidal, the third planet in the Julevian system, was the home planet of the Sernpidalian species, and one of the first planets attacked by the Yuuzhan Vong during their invasion of the Galaxy. Orbiting only 115,000 kilometers from its sun, it was the most populous world of its sector. Rango Tel was from the world.
During the Jedi Civil War, the planet was under the control of the Sith Empire, and served as a major Sith naval base in possession of sensitive military codes and equipment. Centuries later, it was settled by refugees fleeing the supernova of the Hettitite system.
In 25 ABY, the Praetorite Vong placed a dovin basal on the surface of the planet, causing the smallest of its two moons, Dobido, to be pulled into the planet. Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Anakin Solo made an attempt to evacuate as many people as possible, but Chewbacca was lost in the process. Later on, Sernpidal was used to grow worldships, and Rogue Squadron led a successful assault on it.
