Devaron Devaron was a terrestrial planet located in the Devaron system of the galaxy ' s Colonies that was the homeworld of the Devaronian species . Description . Devaron was a temperate and heavily forest ed planet located in the Outer Rim Territories . Numerous rivers and valleys dotted the mountainous landscape , while the planet ' s ecological balance was maintained by the natives for countless generations . Sparsely populated areas were allowed to thrive in their natural state without urbanization or industrialization spreading beyond contained cities or settlements . The spacefaring Devaronian s were recognized as one of the earliest species to expand beyond their own world , helping to make great strides in the field of space travel and exploration . Preservation of the environment was a cultural phenomenon that was woven into Devaronian society , allowing the planet to retain its natural beauty . Male Devaronians were prone to wanderlust , explore the jungles of Devaron while the females of the species maintained and built cities and societies which could stand the test of time . The jungles of Devaron were notable for their thick tangles of vines that spread across the landscape . Arching over entire jungles , the vines would utilized as walkways and bridges , as they linked hills and spanned valleys . Wildlife valued the shelter provided by the vines , and the biosphere of Devaron was rich with animals and creatures of all shapes and sizes . When the Galactic Empire came to power , the state of Devaron ' s environs was threatened . The reigning Imperial governor during the Galactic Civil War was known for going on extravagant wildlife hunts , as well as denying the natives the ability to grow their own food . History . Early history . The history of Devaron was marked by its cultural division between the two genders of the Devaronian species ; while males were struck with wanderlust , females sought to establish cities and grow the culture . Developing this divide during the pre - industrial era , males had to travel several days from settlements to hunt for prey while the females maintained the safety and organization of the camp . As wandering the jungles on hunting expeditions became a cultural rite of passage for males of the species , the Devaronian females began to industrialize , evolving over time into a spacefaring culture as early as 30 , 000 BBY . Harnessing hyperdrive technology , Devaronians began exploring the region of space around Devaron , helping to blaze the Corellian Trade Spine once contact was made with the greater galaxy . Spaceport s began to pop up in settled regions of the planet , with each containing a plaza called the Point of Parting where families bid farewell to the explorers leaving the planet . As the planet developed a planetary government , it became one of the earliest members of the Galactic Republic . One of the outermost planets in the Republic for millennia , Devaronians served as hyperspace scout s and could easily find employment in the field of interstellar travel . Sending a large percentage of their earnings back to Devaron , the planet was able to maintain a thriving economy without polluting the world ' s lush ecological wonders with the taint of industrial districts . While the government of Devaronian had established a fair and balanced democratic system that allowed males and females to pursue the lifestyle they saw best for themselves , most of Devaron ' s best and brightest leaders , politicians , and business elites were females . The Jedi and the Clone Wars . Sometime in Devaron ' s history , the Jedi Order established a training center deep in the jungles of Devaron . The Temple of Eedit was built over a vergence powerful in the Force that imbued the entire area with a deep sense of power . During the Clone Wars , the Grand Army of the Republic maintained an outpost on the planet . The bounty hunter Cad Bane and the Confederacy of Independent Systems attacked Devaron during the war . Later , Savage Opress attacked the Temple of Eedit , killing Jedi Master Halsey and his Padawan Knox . The elite Delta Squad recovered their bodies . Age of the Empire . At the end of the war , the planet came under Imperial dominion , with a heavy naval presence in the system . Shortly after the Battle of Yavin , Luke Skywalker began to have visions about the Temple of Eedit located there . Traveling to Devaron to visit the temple and begin his Jedi training , he discovered the entrance to the temple by a secret cave next to a derelict dam destroyed during the Clone Wars , with the main temple ' s entrance being off - limits , and monitored by the Empire . While there Skywalker embarked on a voyage of personal discovery and trained with three remotes , learning how to use the lightsaber combat Form V to deflect their blasts . After escaping an Imperial attack on him at the temple , as well as befriending the young Devaronian Farnay , Skywalker vowed to return to the planet once more to uphold the traditions of the Jedi who once dwelt there . The installation of a corrupt human governor on the planet caused some Devaronians to join the Rebel Alliance . As more and more Devaronians began to resist Imperial rule , the Empire interfered with the remittances fed to the planet by Devaronians abroad in an attempt to make the species easier to control . With the loss of the Imperial Senate , the Devaronians felt that their voice in the galactic conversation had been silenced . After Skywalker defeated the Emperor and Darth Vader in the climactic Battle of Endor , the Jedi Knight returned to Devaron to visit the Temple of Eedit once more . Whilst there he visited Farnay , and thus upheld his promise throughout all the years . New Republic era . In 5 ABY , the New Republic , the successor to the Rebel Alliance , established several outposts on Devaron . These outposts were manned by diplomats , liaisons , scientists , and soldiers . They also brought food and portable water . One of these outposts was a hundred klicks away from an old Jedi temple . Shortly before the Battle of Jakku , a cell of the Acolytes of the Beyond led by the former Imperial Adviser Yupe Tashu attacked the outpost as part of a series of galactic - wide strikes on New Republic outposts . Two of the participants were the Pantoran Kiza and her human lover Remi . When Remi tried to recover his lightsaber from her , she killed him . Behind the scenes . First introduced in Legends publications , the planet Devaron was located in the Colonies region of the galaxy . When reintroduced in canon publications , the planet was erroneously stated as being located in the Outer Rim Territories in " The Weapon of a Jedi " . Future publications , including " Nexus of Power " and " " reaffirmed the planet as being located in the Colonies region .
