Dalicron - 4 Dalicron - 4 was a remote , little noticed planet far in the Outer Rim Territories . Although the world possessed a diverse and vibrant ecosystem , it was home to no more than 1 , 000 inhabitants , the descendants of colonists from the Galactic Republic . These citizens established and maintained an agrarian society that relied on barter and trade . The people of Dalicron - 4 were suspicious of outsiders . Dalia , with a population of about 100 , was the largest settlement . The world was known for its unpredictable and ferocious weather patterns . Immense storms wracked the countryside periodically , wreaking untold devastation in their wake . Dalicron - 4 had a long history with the Force . Nearly a millennium before the Battle of Yavin , a Jedi named Duumas uncovered a prophecy about a " Child of Light " who would be born with a unique attachment to the Force : the child could not use the Force himself , but others could channel the energy field through him to gain nearly unlimited access to it . Duumas willed his spirit into a tree on Dalicron - 4 to create a zone where the Force had no effect and the child could one day be raised safely . Centuries later , a boy named Caeleb was born with the powers Duumas had foreseen . His parents , having seen Dalicron - 4 in a vision , brought him there to live under the protection of Duumas ' s tree . In 3 ABY , a bounty hunter came for the boy , and the family fled the world with a group of operatives from the Alliance to Restore the Republic . Description . Dalicron - 4 was a terrestrial planet located in the Dalicron system , Dalicron sector , deep in the Outer Rim Territories . It was far from any major hyperlanes ; traveling to the world from Kwenn Space Station took six days in hyperspace . The world was little known in other parts of the galaxy ; in fact , nav computers seldom offered more information than the world ' s coordinates , and that only after relatively lengthy database searches . Few navigation charts included the planet . The world appeared as a vibrant , blue and green globe when seen from space . It was 60 % covered by land with the remaining 40 % made up of lakes , rivers , and seas . The climate was temperate , varying from hot , equatorial reaches to frigid , polar zones . The soil was highly fertile , and most of the landmass was covered in dense plant growth : prairies and forests with trees that reached 30 meters in height . The planet was periodically wracked by immense thunderstorms . These weather patterns regularly reached 130 km from one edge to the other , with some able to reach 320 km across . Winds reached more than 150 km / hr , and tornados often dropped from their midst . The inhabitants of the world had little idea how the storms formed ; they seemed to occur randomly and wreak untold devastation . All the inhabitants could do was to secure their buildings and wait out the tempests ( moving about outside was near suicidal , as visibility was nearly zero and left them easy prey for Dalicron - 4 ' s carnivorous species ) . Operating spacecraft was a risky proposition , as frequent flashes of lightning overrode sensors and confused viewport polarization systems , while gale - force winds changed direction unpredictably and battered the hull . The storms could last from a few minutes to several hours . History . Nearly 1 , 000 years before the Battle of Yavin , a Jedi Master named Duumas discovered a prophecy that foretold that a " Child of Light , " a boy with the ability to amplify the Force abilities of those around him , would come to Dalicron - 4 . Fearing the child might fall prey to an evil Force user , the Jedi willed his spirit into a tree on the world , killing his physical body and sacrificing his ability to use the Force . The act created a 50 - meter zone in which the Force seemed to have no influence or presence , where the Child of Light could eventually find haven . Around 800 BBY , a group from the Inner Rim had grown fed up with their fast - moving , busy lives as members of the Galactic Republic . Under the leadership of a being named Dalia , they traveled to Dalicron - 4 and founded the town of Dalia , named for their leader . Other settlers followed , but the world ' s total population never grew large . By 3 ABY , Dalicron - 4 was home to only about 1 , 000 sentients . During the rise of the Empire , two Force - sensitive humans had a child they named Caeleb . They could tell the boy had an unusual connection to the Force ; it was so strong that they feared the Force might overwhelm their son . One day , the boy ' s father had a vision of a place of sanctuary where Caeleb might enjoy a normal childhood : the place was Dalicron - 4 . The family moved to the remote world along with Caeleb ' s older sister , Jhara , and his grandfather , Gel , a former Jedi and veteran of the Clone Wars . They took up residence near the Force - nullifying tree where Jedi Master Duumas ' s spirit resided . There , Caeleb grew up ignorant of the Force and its potential . The family took up farming . By 3 ABY , tales of the exploits of Luke Skywalker had reached Dalicron - 4 . The old Jedi Gel sent a message to the Alliance to Restore the Republic asking them to send Skywalker to speak to him about the boy . Gel was afraid Darth Vader and the Galactic Empire might find Caeleb and misuse him . He hoped they might escort him and his family from the world and into Alliance custody . Unable to spare Skywalker , the Alliance sent a team of agents . They located the boy and rescued him from a Whiphid bounty hunter named Tol Skaros , who had already dispatched the boy ' s parents and grandfather . Fearing the worst should they dally , they quickly fled the world . Meanwhile , an Imperial Nebulon - B frigate called the " Harasser " arrived in the system and placed Dalicron - 4 under quarantine . A Rebel scout named Thaum Rystra appeared , claiming to be a lieutenant of the Rebel Alliance . He ordered the Imperials to let the ship jump to hyperspace , and the Child of Light escaped the system . Inhabitants . Dalicron had about 1 , 000 inhabitants . Those in and around the town of Dalia made their livings primarily through agriculture . Dalia ' s population was overwhelmingly human , although other species , such as Ho ' Din , Ithorians and Rodians , were present in smaller numbers . The typical outfit of a Dalian was a dress for a woman and a tunic , trousers , and vest for a man . The world received few visitors from offworld , and the people tended to be suspicious of outsiders . Dalians in particular largely distrusted strangers , although they knew that trade with them was a necessary evil . Nevertheless , they did not recognize credits or any other currency , preferring instead the barter system . The technology level on the world was behind that of the rest of the galaxy , and high technology could be traded for precious items . The planet ' s inhabitants farmed nerfs , which they used for both milk and meat . Other farmers raised Cracian thumper s . Local foods and drinks were beer , cider , fruit juices , wine , potato es , gravy , and bread . Several predatory species roamed Dalicron - 4 . They often preyed on hapless victims of the planet ' s unpredictable megastorms . The verlen was one of these ; it hunted the forest in packs . Locations . Dalia was Dalicron - 4 ' s largest settlement , but even it had only 100 citizens . It was a small settlement , with only six or so buildings in the town in 3 ABY . ( Most citizens of the region instead lived on farms in the surrounding area . ) The social hub of the settlement was Daz ' s Tavern , a wooden structure that served food and drink . The town had the only starship landing field , which had facilities to put up eight light freighters but lacked refueling and repair facilities . No one manned the landing field , so communications from space and requests for landing clearance went unanswered . The tree into which the Jedi Master Duumas willed his spirit was near Dalia . It created a strange , 50 - meter zone where the Force did not penetrate and where the raging storms of the planet had no effect . It had a stark white trunk and two - tone leaves ; the tops were deep green , and the bottoms were yellow . The leaves and branches swayed at all times , regardless of any wind blowing . Behind the scenes . Dalicron - 4 is the backdrop of " Child of Light , " an adventure for the " Child of Light saga " of the " Star Wars Roleplaying Game " from Wizards of the Coast . The adventure misspells the world ' s name as " Dalinar - 4 " on page 7 .
