List of Star Wars planets (C-D)

Caamas

Caamas is a toxic planet in the Cirius System that was formerly a highly populated habitable world, until the Empire bombarded it shortly after the Clone Wars, killing nearly all the inhabitants of the planet. The native Caamasi were a peaceful civilization, much like Alderaan, so naturally, they were at the top of Palpatine's list of planets to be destroyed. The destruction of Caamas remained a mystery for some time because Caamas had a very powerful planetary shield, and the Empire somehow managed to bring it down. It was later revealed in the The Hand of Thrawn Duology that it was sabotaged by a group of Bothans working for the Empire. The issue with the Caamas document nearly tore the New Republic apart; this was actually a clever scheme devised by Moff Disra, who went against Admiral Pellaeon's wishes of peace.

Cadomai

Cadomai is a frigid world, largely covered by sparse tundra. The planet is home to the Snivvians.

Cal-Seti

Cal-Seti was home to the Ramsees Hed docking facility. Kyle Katarn used this docking facility to smuggle himself aboard a ship destined for an Imperial facility on the ice world Anteevy in the game Dark Forces.

Carida

Carida is first mentioned in the Star Wars Expanded Universe as the site of an Imperial training academy, the Imperial Academy. It was a large planet with high gravity and a wide variety of climates. The planet was destroyed by Kyp Durron using the Sun Crusher. At the time, Kyp was under the influence (but not control) of the Sith Lord Exar Kun.

Carida was also the homeworld of Admiral Ozzel.

Castell

Castell is the homeworld of the Gossam. During the Clone Wars, Castell was the headquarters of the Commerce Guild.

Cathar

Cathar is the homeworld of the cat-like species of the same name, the Cathar. A planet of rolling savannahs and densely forested uplands, Cathar was one of the worlds conquered by the Mandalorians during the Mandalorian War.

Cato Neimoidia

One of the Neimoidian "purse-worlds", Cato Neimoidia is the location of Nute Gunray's secret redoubt and was seen in Revenge of the Sith. It is a colony world of the extremely wealthy planet Neimoidia, and is located in the Colonies region of the galaxy. The planet is famous for its bridges, and is sometimes given the accolade "The Bridge World".

Several events took place on Cato Neimoidia during the Clone Wars, including a failed mission with Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. Eventually, the Galactic Republic took control of the planet. Cato Neimoidian citizens' refusal to lose their home caused some minor uprisings in some bridge cities, but the Republic learned to control them by sending out frequent patrols. Most of these patrolling assignments were given to Jedi Master Plo Koon and his clone division. Master Koon flew in his Jedi starfighter from city to city, keeping watch for disturbances involving the citizens. When Chancellor Palpatine enacted Order 66, causing all clone troopers to kill the Jedi, the instructions quickly reached Cato Neimoidia. The clone wingmen flying with Master Koon received the message, and fired upon the Jedi’s starfighter. His ship spun out of control and crashed into one of the planet's bridges.

It is unclear whether or not George Lucas intended Cato Neimoidia to be the original homeworld of the Neimoidians. The planet Neimoidia is supposedly where they originate from, but that is an Expanded Universe concept.

Centares

Centares is a terrestrial planet with a temperate climate and no moons. Its population is estimated to be about one billion. It was on this planet where Darth Vader learned the name of Luke Skywalker.

Cerea

Cerea is a temperate, forested planet that is the homeworld of the species of the Cereans. Ki-Adi-Mundi is from this planet. The planet was the site of nearly constant battling during the Clone Wars, but Ki-Adi-Mundi and his clone troopers were able to successfully defend it.

Chad

Chad, also known as Chad III, is the homeworld of Jedi Knight Callista and the Chadra-Fan species. Chad is largely covered by ocean, where some humans make a living by following herds of cy'een. There are also extensive swamps and marshes where the Chadra-Fan reside.

Chandrila

Chandrila is the home planet of Mon Mothma and is the second planet in the Chandrila System. The planet is covered with lush green land, rolling hills, vast oceans, and immense, pristine cities. The inhabitants are very democratic and environmentally friendly. Debates are encouraged on a regular basis in a debate rotunda that is located in nearly every settlement on the planet. The planet was a supporter of the Rebel Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. In the computer game Rogue Squadron, Grand Moff Kohl Seerdon led an invasion of the planet and intended to blockade the capital city, Hanna, with walls. Luke Skywalker led a reclamation effort with Rogue Squadron and forced Seerdon to retreat.

Chandrila is also visited by the main character in the Jedi Academy computer game. It is depicted as large, misty caverns underground, filled with glowing crystals and has an eerie feeling. The chasm area visited is filled with ancient Jedi tombs

Charubah

One of the most technological worlds in the Hapes Cluster, Charubah manufactures the Hapan Gun of Command, one of the many gifts provided to Leia Organa Solo by the Hapans.

Chazwa

Chazwa is a cold planet in the Orus Sector which is located along a popular freighter traffic route.

Cholganna

Cholganna is the homeworld of the Nexu and was colonized by Bothans, humans and Gran in 4,000 BBY. It has abundant prairies and vast forests and high mountains filled with ten types of animal life.

Cinnagar

Cinnagar is another name for the planet Empress Teta.

Clak'dor VII

Clak'dor VII, home to the Bith, is located in the Colu System. This once-beautiful world was all but destroyed in a Bith chemical war. The Bith now live in cities that are sealed off from the rest of the world to avoid the massive pollution.

Colla IV

Colla IV is a world far from the galactic core, which is inhabited by Colicoids, a species known for their callous and murderous nature. The Colicoid Creation Nest was contracted by the Trade Federation to design the Droideka (which they created in their own, insectoid image) and also the Droid Tri-Fighter, which was based on the skull shape of a predator native to the planet, for the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The planet has been in a diplomatic row for years, in relation to the death and consumption of a number of off-world visitors.

Commenor

Commenor is a temperate planet located near the edge of the Corellian Sector. It serves mainly as a starport and trading planet, and is known for its glittering gemstones.

Cona

Cona is the homeworld of the Arcona. It is always hot and has very little water. The atmosphere is filled with ammonia vapor.

Concord Dawn

Concord Dawn is an arid, sparsely populated world inhabited mainly by farmers. It was also home to a number of Mandalorians: Concord Dawn was the birthplace of Jango Fett as well as his mentor Jaster Mereel. Jango Fett and his clones, Boba Fett and the Republic Clone Troopers, have been described as speaking with Concord Dawn accents implying that Concord Dawn residents speak in New Zealand accents.

Corbos

Corbos was an Outer Rim mining colony wiped out by the Leviathans of Corbos. In 6,900 BBY it was the site of the Battle of Corbos, the end of the Hundred-Year Darkness.

Corellia

Corellia is the homeworld of the infamous Corellians, including Han Solo, Wedge Antilles, Corran Horn, and Garm Bel Iblis. It is the capital planet of the Corellian sector, and of the Corellian system which includes Corellia, Selonia, Drall and the double worlds of Talus and Tralus. In the days of the Galactic Republic, it was ruled by a Diktat, or governor, while the sector had a seat in the Galactic Senate. The Corellian Security Force (CorSec) polices the planet. Corellia is famous for its spacefaring culture, alcohol, smugglers, pirates, and general rogue tradition. Most of the planet itself is green and lush, with great, cosmopolitan cities such as its capital, Coronet, alongside forests, beaches, swamps, gently rolling grasslands, and spectacular mountains. Large space stations and shipyards, as well as most of the industry, are located in orbit.

The planet is depicted up in the Nintendo 64 video game Rogue Squadron.

Corulag

Corulag is a populated terrestrial world located in the Corulus System. Corulag was a Core World—that is, it lay close to the center of the galaxy and very near to the capital of the New Republic, Coruscant. The population is mostly human with Wookiees, Aqualish, Ithorians and Selkaths representing it as well. The terrain of the planet includes urban areas, oceans, plains, bamboo forests, and jungles.

In The Unifying Force, the nineteenth and final novel in the New Jedi Order series, Corulag was the site of a battle between elements of the New Republic fleet led by Galactic Alliance generals Wedge Antilles and Garm Bel Iblis en route to an attack on Coruscant, and invading Yuuzhan Vong forces.

Corulag is also the homeworld of the smuggler Duran Lordes.

Coruscant

Coruscant, seen in Episodes The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith and Return of the Jedi, was the capital of the Old Republic, the Galactic Empire, the New Republic, the Galactic Alliance, and the Yuuzhan Vong Empire. It is generally agreed that Coruscant is the most important world in the Star Wars galaxy, evidenced by the fact that its hyperspace coordinates are (0,0,0). The planet is essentially one giant city, with skyscrapers jutting several kilometers into the atmosphere. Approximately 1 trillion people inhabit the planet. When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded, they destroyed one of its four moons and used massive dovin basals to move the planet into a tighter orbit, allowing lush vegetation to grow on it. It was then called Yuuzhan'tar ("Creche of the Gods", in the Yuuzhan Vong language) and made the capital of the Yuuzhan Vong occupation until being recaptured by the Galactic Alliance.

Corvis Minor

Corvis Minor is a planet with an utterly forgettable history. Most complete Imperial libraries have a multiple datacard box set named The Complete History of Corvis Minor. However, contained within the box is a compact, yet powerful emergency blaster. This oddity was the result of the Emperor's efforts to provide hidden, secret resources for his agents' use. Given Corvis Minor's complete, total, and utter lack of significance in galactic history, it was considered highly unlikely that anyone other than one of the Emperor's agents would ever discover one of these hidden blasters.

During his escape from the Super Star Destroyer Lusankya, Corran Horn serendipitously obtained a blaster from a Corvis Minor history box in Ysanne Isard's private library while searching for a secret door or mechanism. He ironically remarked to himself, If a blaster is considered the complete history of Corvis Minor, I'm thinking it's not a vacation spot.

During the Thrawn Crisis, former Emperor's Hand Mara Jade was able to use her knowledge of this secret Imperial resource to obtain a blaster from a library on a residental floor of the Imperial Palace when she realized the Palace had been infiltrated by Imperial agents bent on kidnapping the Solos; her intervention would prove crucial.

Interestingly enough, Corvis Minor featured a secret Imperial base which housed three squadrons of TIE Defenders, which were produced on site. Ysanne Isard took control of the facility in a plot to recover her Super Star Destroyer, Lusankya, using only fifty men. This means that the base would have required only 14 or so support staff, which implies that it was only a small facility.

Csilla

Csilla is the homeworld of the mysterious and reclusive Chiss and capital world of the Chiss Ascendancy. Csilla is a cold world of glaciers and snowy wastes located deep within Chiss Space, in the Unknown Regions of the galaxy. Glaciers cover the normally warm equatorial regions of the planet, while solid ice locked the poles in perpetual winter. In order to survive, the Chiss had to build energy-efficient warrens beneath the ice, as close to the geothermal warmth of the planet as possible. Underground travel routes connect the various underground sections of Csilla. The iceways were bored through the bedrock of the planet, so that they were unaffected by the shifting ice found on the planet's surface. Specialized carriages moved passengers and cargo through the tunnels.

Cularin

Cularin is a tropical planet in the Cularin System. It has two moons, the molten Rennokk and the barren Tilnes. It is the primary world that the Star Wars Roleplaying Game RPGA "Living Force" campaign centers around.

Cybloc

Cybloc is a greenish planet orbiting the star Erg Es 992 in the Meridian Sector. One of its moons, Cybloc XII, housed a New Republic trade base. However, the region was purged during the Death Seed incident.

Dagobah

Dagobah is the name of both a planet and the system in which it resides. The planet appears in the films The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi and shown in a deleted scene in Revenge of the Sith in which Yoda travels to Dagobah into exile after Order 66 was initiated.

After Darth Vader hunted down nearly all of the Jedi, Jedi Master Yoda hid in a swamp on Dagobah where a cave strong with the dark side of the Force hid him from detection by the Emperor (it appears that the dark side presence neutralized Yoda's light side presence). The cave first became imbued with the dark side when the last surviving Dark Jedi of the Bpfasshi insurrection fled to Dagobah with Jorj Car'das during the Clone Wars. Yoda somehow knew that the Dark Jedi would be in the cave, and made it there before him, and when the Dark Jedi arrived, fought him in a stupendous three-day-long Force battle. At the end of the battle, the Dark Jedi died, but the dark side residue remained in the cave, helping to shield Yoda's presence on Dagobah. The massive array and diversity of life forms present on Dagobah also aided Yoda to avoid capture. In Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, Luke Skywalker is visited on the ice planet Hoth by the ghost of Obi-Wan Kenobi, who tells him to go seek Master Yoda on Dagobah to be trained as a Jedi.

Damonite Yors-B

Damonite Yors-B is a cold, icy planet in the Meridian Sector that was a possible location of Princess Leia during her kidnapping nine years after the Battle of Endor.

Dankayo

Dankayo was a world used as a Rebel base between the Battle of Yavin and the Battle of Hoth. Imperial forces mutilated the planet's surface, turning it into a single vast terrain of molten lava. It was here that the Empire's Magma Trooper division was first used.

Dantooine

Dantooine was mentioned only once in the Star Wars films. In A New Hope, Princess Leia tries to fool Grand Moff Tarkin into believing that the Rebel base is located there. Tarkin replies that Dantooine is "too remote" to use the Death Star on (the deciding factor here seems to be a political and social impact rather than military necessity).

Dantooine was featured in both Knights of the Old Republic games. Dantooine is home to a Jedi enclave which was destroyed by Darth Malak during the Jedi Civil War; it was later rebuilt during the period of Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords.

In Rogue Squadron#Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike, Dantooine is shown as a very wet world with perpetual rain which seems to have carved massive canyons and mesas.

Dantooine is also seen in Star Wars the Clone Wars cartoon series. It pictures Jedi Master Mace Windu fighting an army of Super Battle droids

The natives of Dantooine are large, primitive neanderthal-like humanoids.

Danuta

A planet under the Empire, Danuta is where some of the Death Star plans were kept. Kyle Katarn was able to infiltrate the base, steal the plans and surrender them to the Rebel Alliance in the game Dark Forces. This led to the events of A New Hope and the destruction of the Death Star.

Da Soocha

Da Soocha is a planet in Hutt Space. One of its moons is Da Soocha V.

Dathomir

Dathomir is the planet on which Yoda's Jedi Academy ship, the Chu'unthor, crashed. The planet is covered in lush swamps and small trees. It is inhabited by wild rancors, as well as by Force-sensitive "witches" who are descendants of a Jedi Knight banished to the planet. Dathomir was first introduced in the book The Courtship of Princess Leia.

Delaya

Delaya is a temperate planet located third in the Alderaan System. During the Galactic Civil War, it was home to a Rebel Alliance transmitting station. After Alderaan was destroyed, the Delayans felt compelled to preserve as much Alderaanian culture as they could.

Demar

Demar is a mysterious planet home to exotic vegetation and deadly plants.

Denon

Denon is a planet with city growth covering the entire surface, similar to Coruscant. In terms of being an ecumenopolis, it is second to Coruscant. It was where Zam Wesell trained to become an assassin. Denon was also the temporary capital of the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances after losing Coruscant to the Yuuzhan Vong.

Deralia

Deralia is the putative homeworld of Darth Revan in his fake biography, which gives the history of a Republic soldier. The planet's terrain is a vast expanse of forests and seas. Deralia also has a number of scattered settlements, in one of which holds a large Jedi enclave. Revan also may have gone there after the Jedi Civil War.

Derra IV

Derra IV is a minor planet, far from the Galactic Core. It was the site of a crushing ambush in which Imperial forces destroyed a vital Rebel convoy and its escorts on their way to Hoth, just days before the Battle of Hoth.

Despayre

A prison planet located in the Horuz system in the distant Outer Rim. This planet was the site of construction for the first Death Star. It is almost unknown therefore ensuring secrecy of its construction yards. The terrain consisted of green jungle, rivers, and shallows sea. The life there consisted of carnivorous crustaceans, poisonous plants, and deadly insects. Its only outpost was the penal colony at which many of the prisoners helped construct the Death Star. Once the battle station was complete it tested its super laser on that planet, therefore destroying it.

Destrillion

Destrillion is the sister planet of Dubrillion. It is located in the Outer Rim. In a secret mission for the Rebel Alliance, Wedge Anitlles piloted an A-Wing starfighter into an Imperial installation, encountering the experimental TIE Hunter fighters.

Devaron

Devaron is the homeworld of the Devaronians.

Deyer

Deyer is an inhospitable world of the Anoat System. Kyp Durron, one of Luke Skywalker's apprentices, and his family originated from one of Deyer's colonies.

Distna

Disnta is a remote system where Ysanne Isard captures Rogue Squadron in an attempt to receive immunity for her crimes after the fall of the Galactic Empire and unleashing the Krytos virus. In exchange, she would supply fighters for the squadron for them to attempt to retake the Hegemony worlds from Admiral Delak Krennel and Isard's only clone.

Doldur

Doldur is the primary planet in the Doldur System, and is the sector capital of Doldur Sector.

Dorin

Dorin is a dark, dusty world and is the homeworld of the Kel Dor. Jedi Master Plo Koon comes from Dorin. The planet is located near two black holes, so not very many outsiders know much about it. Its atmosphere consists of carbon monoxide and helium. Dorin is home to many proud Kel Dor Jedi who later become a great part of Luke Skywalker's Jedi Council.

Dosk

Dosk was an industrial planet that was part of the Imperial Remnant in the Outer Rim. The planet had four moons that are also covered with shipyards and industrial complexes. The planet was administrated by a special Imperial Governor and protected by several Star Destroyers.

Although most of the industry on Dosk was run by Droids, the few million people who lived on the planet had to live in specially built districts covered by domes to protect them from Dosk’s toxic atmosphere and near-continuous acid rainfall. All buildings on Dosk had to be built of incredibly strong metal to resist the degenerative effects of the atmosphere.

The planet’s atmosphere was made toxic after centuries of industrial development during the Old Republic, Galactic Empire, and eventually the Imperial Remnant. The planet was a major producer of weapons and ships for the Imperial Remnant, however, in the years prior to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, the planet was operating at only around 15% capacity. This was mainly do to the fact that the Imperial Remnant did not have the ability to finance or purchase the products produced by the planet. Consequently, many of the planet’s industrial complexes were closed and production fell.

At the time of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, much of the planet had been abandoned and, without proper maintenance, the buildings had begun to fall into ruin. The only operative areas were around the equatorial regions. When the Yuuzhan Vong attacked the Imperial Remnant, Dosk was attacked. The Yuuzhan Vong, having no use for the heavily toxified planet and seeing it as an abomination, propelled it into the star system's sun where it was destroyed.

Dosuun

Dosuun was home of an Imperial Remnant base commanded by Rax Joris – until the New Republic intercepted transmissions and sent a Jedi, Jaden Korr, to investigate. Korr killed Joris and alerted the New Republic, who arrived and mopped up the Remnant forces who survived Korr's attack.

Drall

Drall is a planet in the Corellian System. The planet is primarily inhabited by the species of the same name, the Drall; however there are also large numbers of humans and Selonians. One notable planetary feature (and tourist attraction) is the Boiling Seas.

There is a planetary repulsor on Drall, which was used millennia ago by an unknown race to move the planet into its current orbit around the star Corell.

Dromund Kaas

Dromund Kaas is a remote planet consisting of swamps and oceans. Having once been part of the great Sith Empire, it became one of the many lost planets that had been deleted from the Jedi Archives. A Sith temple was the main feature of the planet, and it was there that Kyle Katarn fell to the dark side, before being rescued by Mara Jade.

Dromund Kalakar

Dromund Kalakar is a gas giant in the Dromund system.

Drongar

Drongar is featured prominently in the Medstar Duology that takes place during the Clone Wars. The planet is covered by huge forests and swamps, the climate is characterized by common monsoons with devastating electrical storms, soaring temperatures, and humidity over 90%. There is a large atmospheric oxygen content, and the atmosphere is covered by layers of rapidly mutating deadly spores. Drongar was known only for the bota plant, which had varying effects in different species. The most notable of which being significant narcotic qualities when smoked or ingested by Hutts, or extraordinarily powerful antibiotic/painkilling effects for humans and some similar species. By the end of the second MedStar book however, bota had mutated into a useless and annoying fragile weed, causing both the Separatists and the Republican forces to abandon the planet after a climactic final battle over the last of the potent bota. The planet has two small moons, and is located in a system with three other planets.

Druckenwell

Druckenwell is a planet in Doldur Sector. It is best known for the BlasTech weapons manufacturing complex that is located there, as well as the Druckenwell Shipyard.

Dubrillion

Dubrillion is an Outer Rim world covered in lush green forests and deep blue seas. It orbits near its almost-identical sister planet Destrillion. During the Galactic Civil War, it was the testing ground for a secret Imperial superlaser, similar to the type of weaponry utilized on both Death Stars. As the experimental weapon fired on several Rebel forces, Rogue Squadron led by Wedge Antilles, managed to disable the accuracy relays of the superlaser, through the means of three Y-Wings. Antilles pushed forward in a captured Imperial AT-ST, later securing an AT-AT and destroying the installation. Neither world was permanently inhabited until Lando Calrissian established a mining operation within the system's asteroid field. Dubrillion became his base of operations, which quickly grew into a luxury city. The planet was one of the first to fall during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. The Yuuzhan Vong caused a massacre when New Republic forces arrived to help evacuate the planet.

Duro

Duro is home to the alien race of the same name. Duros are interested in exploration (some credit them with inventing the hyperdrive) and have ventured off their home world to explore the galaxy, leaving Duro in a state of ruin. The Empire ruined the planet's ecosystem and forced all the remaining Duros to move off the planet into orbiting city stations. The Empire also removed Duro from its own sector, placing it in the Corellian Sector, though the New Republic switched it back (it is sometimes still believed to be in the Corellian Sector). During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, Duro became a refugee world, causing overcrowding in the orbital space stations. The Yuuzhan Vong overtook Duro, but the New Republic won it back during a series of raids prior to the Battle of Ebaq 9. Duro was once again lush after the Yuuzhan Vong 'Vongforming' efforts.

During the Clone Wars, the Confederacy of Independent Systems spearheaded Operation Durge's Lance, a co-ordinated and major campaign that led to the capture of Duro. General Grievous was the commander of the operation. The swift success of the campaign sent shockwaves throughout the Galactic Republic, and even neutral Corellia began to tighten its defences.

Neimoidians, such as Nute Gunray, are descendants of Duro colonists of Neimoidia.

Durren

Durren is a planet near the border between the Meridian and Antemeridian sectors that was home to a New Republic naval facility.

D'vouran

D'vouran was a top-secret Imperial project, the first experiment in Project Starscream. D'vouran was a living planet that consumed its victims through holes that appeared in the ground. A small crystal worn on a necklace was the only thing that prevented the wearer from being eaten by the planet.

D'vouran was destroyed when Zak and Tash Arranda threw the crystal necklace into the heart of the planet, which caused the planet to eat itself.
