Dorumaa Dorumaa was the resort moon of Almas . It was once an inner planet of the Cularin system . Its orbit at that time crossed that of Oblis . Dorumaa was at its closest when Oblis was destroyed , and the force of that destruction thrust Dorumaa farther out in the system . It was eventually captured by the gravitation pull of Almas . Having moved far away from its suns , Dorumaa froze . History . In 47 BBY , the Dorumaa Investment Group began terraforming Dorumaa to turn it into a resort world . Power generators were installed near the moon ' s core to warm it and recycle the atmosphere . Gravity generators were also installed . Some of the creatures were caught when the frozen planet was thawed out . The creatures themselves were dead , but some eggs of many species managed to survive the thaw and the seas were soon teeming with life - although the local fauna , adapting to the newer conditions , had a shorter lifespan . Special attention was paid to a pair of baby leviathans , whose mother had apparently survived the freezing and thawing process , at least long enough to give birth to the pair . Despite the revived water life making the moon a bit more dangerous than most resorts , Dorumaa was one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Expansion Region and was terraformed to become the Dorumaa Resort . The Head Manager was young Human Mar Daghreb , who controlled five property managers , each of them with five managers under their command . Dorumaa ' s facilities included family - oriented islands , staffed by young people so perpetually smiling that they were known as the Neo - Caarite s . Unfortunately , unexpected local fauna still surprised even the investors ( although sometimes , such as with the human - friendly , ridable giant sea turtle s , it was a pleasurable surprise ) . Local boat renter Rena Laut , who considered herself an expert in local aquatic fauna , was sometimes hired as a guide to avoid " unfortunate encounters " . Should any vacationers disappear , the investors solved the legal problem with a generous donation to their surviving relatives . Circa 47 BBY , a research team discovered a cave , the Dorumaa Excavation , with supposed writings in the wall and other proofs of an ancient , yet - unknown species living in the Cularin system . Before any further research could be performed , the Dorumaa Investment Group built a floating land platform over the site and refused to allow access . The researcher ' s reports ended in Rorkee , a floating city in the nearby gas giant Genarius . Roarkee built a reproduction of the dig site to attract the tourism wanting to believe in old alien species . In 32 BBY , the Cularin system joined the Galactic Republic and the first Senator asked for military presence in the system to deter the frequent pirate attacks . The commanding officer of the Thaereian military forces that were sent , a Colonel Jir Tramsig , built his first post on Dorumaa to analyze the situation , and attacked some of the pirate bases in the system ' s asteroid belt from the moon . Later , he built a new base on the planet Cularin . This did not affect the tourism industry ; a week of vacation on Dorumaa was still an appreciated award , as shown when the Jedi Knight Alec paid one to his permitor Delan in 31 BBY . There was also a fishing industry in Dorumaa , including fisherman Drac Gerrat . The Thaereian military used this fact to build a base on Dorumaa : At the direction of an anonymous member , Identification # 43641 , which was suspected to be the Thaereians , the Dorumaa Investment Group built a deep sea landing platform , officially intended as a drop - off point for deep - sea fishing . Identification # 43641 also publicly notified that the proofs of native intelligent life in Dorumaa Excavation were false ; however , access to the site was still forbidden . During the Clone Wars , the Thaereians were driven out of Dorumaa in the Battle of Dorumaa . After the Cularin system reappeared from its near - decade long disappearance , Kaminoan scientist Ko Sai hid on Dorumaa from the various organizations pursuing her . She was found in 21 BBY by Kal Skirata and his allies .
