Tokmia / Legends Tokmia was a mostly icy , snow - covered planet in the remote Anoat sector , within the Greater Javin region of the Outer Rim Territories . Home to the primitive , barely - sentient Oku species , Tokmia featured bountiful crystal and ore deposits , from which the Figg Excavations mining company earned a fortune before abandoning the planet . In 3 ABY , during the Galactic Civil War , Tokmia was one of three worlds in the Anoat sector , including Hoth , to which the Galactic Empire sent reconnaissance probe droids in search of the hidden Rebel Alliance base . Description . Tokmia was a frigid , frozen tundra world covered with vast flatlands of snow and ice , with lush forests mixed in . The planet was located in the Tokmia system of the remote Anoat sector , within the Greater Javin region of the Outer Rim Territories . It was positioned at the virtual center of the Anoat sector , at the terminus of a minor hyperlane connected to the major Corellian Trade Spine by way of the Ione system . Tokmia numbered among a cluster of three other nearby , similarly mineral - rich planets — Burnin Konn , Allyuen , and Isis — collectively known as the Mining Worlds . Tokmia boasted rich crystal and ore deposits , an enticing draw for mining prospects . A day on Tokmia lasted eighteen standard hours , and a year 220 local days . The planet had 90 percent standard gravity and a Type I atmosphere breathable for Humans . History . Mining operations . Figg Excavations , the mining subsidiary of the Outer Javin Company , once turned Tokmia into a hugely lucrative money - making venture by exploiting the planet ' s crystal and ore deposits . The Tokmia mining enterprise earned Figg Excavations a fortune , and company employees distributed handouts to the planet ' s native Oku species during each operation . Once the planet ' s mines ran dry , Figg Excavations pulled out and abandoned Tokmia , leaving behind a strange cargo cult among the Oku , who , remembering the gifts they had been given , burned huge fires to resemble landing lights in prophesy that the magic al starships of the offworlders would one day return . Search for the Rebel base . In 3 ABY , during the Galactic Civil War , Tokmia briefly attracted the interest of the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader and the Galactic Empire . As part of his search for the hidden Rebel Alliance base following the Battle of Yavin , Vader ordered his personal Star Destroyer fleet , the Imperial Death Squadron , to dispatch reconnaissance Viper probe droids to three planets in the Anoat sector to which the Empire suspected the Rebellion may have relocated : Tokmia , Allyuen , and Hoth . The Imperial Star Destroyers " Avenger " and " Stalker " , the former under the command of Captain Lorth Needa , both sent out probe droids assigned to the Tokmia system . Vader ' s directive to search Tokmia , Allyuen , and Hoth was a departure from the " Avenger " original target schedule . The Empire ultimately discovered that Hoth was the planet hosting the Rebellion ' s new base . Inhabitants . Tokmia was the homeworld of some 400 , 000 Oku , a barely - sentient , primitive species of white - furred aliens who governed themselves in tribal councils . The abandonment of Figg Excavations ' mining operation on Tokmia had a deeply profound impact on the Oku mythos , in which the Oku prophesied that their benevolent offworld visitors would return to their planet again . Locations . Figg Excavations left behind an abandoned mining colony on Tokmia complete with a starport after exhausting the planet ' s crystal deposits and then moving on to other endeavors . Behind the scenes . The planet Tokmia was first mentioned in the script for the 1983 radio adaptation of , written by Brian Daley . Tokmia is one of three planets , Hoth included , to which Captain Needa of the Star Destroyer " Avenger " is assigned to send probe droids in search of the secret Rebel base . However , the dialogue portion of this scene that mentioned Tokmia was cut from the final version of the radio adaptation and appears only in the script ' s 1995 publication , " " . Tokmia was later one of 200 playable worlds included in the 1998 PC game , which provided the planet ' s only visual depiction , an image also used to illustrate twenty - one other planets of similar composition in the game . " Star Wars : Rebellion " described Tokmia as a lush forest planet , but the 2004 Wizards of the Coast online roleplaying supplement " " described Tokmia as a snow - covered world , in the same vein as Hoth , which was repeated by all subsequent sources detailing the planet . In addition , " Star Wars : Rebellion " and its accompanying originally placed Tokmia in the Churba sector , but " Hoth and the Greater Javin " changed its location to the Greater Javin region . " Star Wars : Rebellion " cartography . " Star Wars : Rebellion " provides hyperspace travel times between each planet in the game . However , in several instances , these times are significantly longer than other " Star Wars " Legends sources , which seems to reflect the " Star Wars : Rebellion " hyperspace times as game mechanics rather than actual figures . Tokmia ' s intra - sector hyperspace times and distance from Coruscant according to " Star Wars : Rebellion " using the game ' s fastest capital ship hyperdrives are as follows . Note that this chart only includes planets that were canon ically located in the Anoat sector with regards to the Legends continuity , excepting Coruscant .
