Zonama Sekot Zonama Sekot ( Ferroan for " World of Body and Mind " ) was a living , sentient world capable of traveling through space . Zonama was the planet itself , while Sekot was the living intelligence of Zonama . It was also the seed of the original Yuuzhan Vong homeworld , Yuuzhan ' tar , which had been destroyed during the Cremlevian War . Description . Zonama Sekot was unique from other worlds . Its north polar region , a spot of pearl white was surrounded by an entire hemisphere of tropical jungles . Its southern hemisphere was covered with impenetrable silvery clouds . Along the equator there were several rivers , lakes , and small seas . The edge of the southern hemisphere was also covered by elegant wisps of wind which frequently broke free to form spinning storms . History . Zonama Sekot ' s first settlers were black - haired humanoid Ferroan colonists and red - skinned Langhesi colonists , and the living world was ruled by Magister s . The Ferroans were believers in the Potentium view of the Force . The Langhesi and Ferroans settled the planet in 89 BBY . During the time of the Galactic Republic , Zonama Sekot was rumored to be home to the fastest ships in the galaxy . Jedi Knight Obi - Wan Kenobi and his Padawan , Anakin Skywalker , traveled there to find fellow Jedi Vergere and to purchase one of the planet ' s living ships . Anakin bonded with a record twelve seed - partner s , Obi - Wan bonded with an additional three . While Zonama Sekot was under attack from the Yuuzhan Vong ( 32 BBY – 30 BBY ) , it was able to defeat them . Later Wilhuff Tarkin , then a Republic political leader and security force commander , declared war on the living world and attacked it in 29 BBY . Zonama Sekot unveiled its hyperdrive system , which had been built by the Langhesi , and escaped into the Unknown Regions . In the following years , stories of the " rogue planet " that had once made living ships circulated among many in the Outer Rim . Many years later during the Yuuzhan Vong War , Luke Skywalker , Mara Jade Skywalker , Jacen Solo , R2 - D2 , and several other Jedi traveled to Zonama Sekot , which harbored the long forgotten secrets of the galaxy ' s invaders . Recognizing a glimmer of Anakin Skywalker in Luke and Jacen , Sekot allowed them to land and tested them . Sekot offered to destroy the Yuuzhan Vong entirely , but both Luke and Jacen refused . Nevertheless , Sekot decided to help them , in another way . Later , Nom Anor , disguised as Yu ' shaa , the leader of the underground " Jeedai " heretics , tried without success to destroy the living world . Zonama Sekot traveled to Yuuzhan Vong - held Coruscant , which had been renamed Yuuzhan ' tar , and forged a peace between the Yuuzhan Vong and the Galactic Alliance . Converted and surrendered Yuuzhan Vong came to call Zonama home , and a number of communities were established . One such village was La ' okio , created as an experiment to break down the walls dividing the Yuuzhan Vong castes by grouping the beings into mixed groups . Reh ' mwa , a leader of the Bothan ar ' krai against the Yuuzhan Vong , provisioned the " Avengeance " for searching for Zonama Sekot in the Unknown Regions . After the end of the war , Luke Skywalker held a meeting on the planet to explain the role of the Jedi in the post - war galaxy . At the start of the Sith – Imperial War , it retreated further into the Unknown Regions , stranding the Yuuzhan Vong who remained in the galaxy as part of the Ossus Project . As of 130 ABY it was located in the Unknown Regions , roughly halfway between Lwhekk and Lehon . Behind the scenes . In the original outline of " " , Zonama Sekot was going to have a young , sentient moon termed " Zonama X " , which would have convinced its parent world to join the war against the Yuuzhan Vong . In " " , the name is misspelled as " Zonoma Sekot " .
