Khorm / Legends Khorm was a frozen planet located in the Mid Rim , home to the Khormai species . It was one of the few planets that contained an extremely rare ore called Agrocite that could be used to enhance the power of turbolasers . During The Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems , Khormai warlord Unger Gout betrayed his people and enslaved them to mine Agrocite for Dooku . This resulted in a major Republic offensive led by Plo Koon , Kit Fisto , and Tauht at the Battle of Khorm . During the battle , both Gout and Tauht were killed , but in the end the Republic won with the help of native Khormai and air support from Republic Admiral Wieler , who , along with Fisto and Captain " Sharp " , destroyed Gout ' s powerful Agrocite cannons . Description . A land of frozen wastelands and blizzards , Khorm ' s entire surface was covered in ice and snow , and , in spite of the extremely cold temperatures and harsh winds , a walrus - like species , the Khormai , managed to thrive there . It had a Type I atmosphere . One of its most rare and valuable resources was an ore called Agrocite that , when converted to plasma , could greatly enhance the destructive power of turbolasers . This enticed the Confederacy and Unger Gout , a Khormai warlord , to ally with each other to collect as much of the resource as possible . Because of the extensive mining done on the planet , there was a massive unnatural network of caves beneath the ice . It was located in the Khorm system , in the Mid Rim . History . Years before the Clone Wars , the native Khormai , who had developed the proper technology , discovered the enhancing effect of agrocite on turbolasers . Khorm was then peppered with mining facilities by the Khormai , and more were built as time went on , with the sole purpose of unearthing the rare ore . During this period , Unger Gout was born , and quickly rose to prominence in the government . He eventually took over and sold Khorm and its agrocite to Dooku . The Clone Wars . Around 21 BBY , the Galactic Senate , hoping to stop the mining of Agrocite for the Separatist cause , sent an attack force led by three Jedi Masters : Plo Koon , Tauht and Kit Fisto to Khorm , where they obtained the aid of the Khormai resistance and one of its heads , Adaroo . However , Gout had predicted their arrival and constructed a weather - control station to create a planet - wide storm , powerful enough to prevent any air - support but still enabling the fleet to send ground troops . Soon , the Republic forces had begun to get the upper hand , which forced Gout to request reinforcements in the form of Dark Acolyte Asajj Ventress . The Republic continued to advance toward the main mine , despite Tauht being slain after capturing a processing plant . Gout and Ventress then initiated a counter - attack , and kidnapped Major Kendal Ozzel , Commander CC - 3636 , and several other clone troopers . Meanwhile , Koon and Fisto had destroyed the weather - control station , and Gout and Ventress retreated to the mine , where they kept the prisoners and slaves . While the Republic prisoners escaped , the two Jedi arrived with their forces at the mine . The Dark Acolyte then had the mine rigged with explosives with the intention of killing the Khormai if the Republic conquered the mine . Finding the explosives , Koon and Fisto had Ozzel halt his advance as they infiltrated the mine and escorted the slaves to safety . Before they could exit the mine , Ozzel began his assault , and Gout revealed his agrocite cannon by destroying a " Venator " - class Star Destroyer . " Sharp " and Fisto succeeded in destroying them before Ventress could destroy the mine , but she escaped . After the battle , it became host of a Republic Command Post for the rest of the war . Behind the scenes . Khorm was created for the 2009 " " storyline of the " " comic series .
