Danoor Danoor was a planet in the Nah ' Malis system located within the Kathol Outback . Description . Danoor ' s landmasses were green , blue , brown and red , with white and gray clouds . History . Colonization . Danoor was colonized in roughly 92 BBY by a group of scientists who intended to use the planet as an outpost from which they could study the Kathol Rift . No specific government had sent them , and they were all united by the common goal to study the mysteries of the Rift . More colonists , learning about the beauty and natural resources to be had on Danoor , and the fact that there was no central government , flocked to the planet . Most of the early colonists were farmers , seeking to live off the land , but eventually small businesses followed . The people started to gather into town groups , but still no central government was formed . Devastation . In 22 BBY , a rogue asteroid from the Duhrib Belt hit the planet , killing half a million people and devastating the planet through quakes , floods and ash clouds . The survivors called for centralized government to aid in the rebuilding of the planet . One minister for each grouping of five hundred thousand citizens was elected to a governing body that would be responsible for defense , policing , taxation , and financial aid . Realizing that they need extra funds to rebuild the planet , the government opened Danoor to businesses from across the sector . They offered them special concessions to set up on the planet , although the companies were free to act however they pleased without restriction . The Danoor government accrued enough credits to begin the rebuilding work . Contact with the " FarStar " . In 8 ABY , a ship calling itself the " Lance of Endor " entered orbit around Danoor and proclaimed it was a representative of the New Republic . The ship was actually the " Lialic II " , a corvette allied to Moff Kentor Sarne , posing as a New Republic vessel in order to stir up resentment towards the galactic government . In a communication to Danoor ' s leaders , Captain Rolf Treidum demanded the surrender of the government , an annual tribute equal to half the colony ’ s gross income , and ten percent of the population to be used as slave labor . A week later , the " FarStar " , a true New Republic vessel , entered orbit of the planet seeking to locate a navigator who could take them into the Rift . Believing that the " FarStar " was a follow up to the initial demand , the government of Danoor treated them with disdain and suspicion . Captain Kaiya Adrimetrum managed to convince the government that they were not allied with the " Lance of Endor " , and that the Lance did not represent the New Republic . However , the government required a show of good faith , and asked the " FarStar " to recover a mining droid that they had lost in the Duhrib Belt . The crew agreed to the request , and recovered the mining droid . With their good faith shown , the crew were directed to a navigator , Makezh . Unfortunately , Minister Nane was in league with Captain Treidum , and had signaled the Imperial captain when the " FarStar " had arrived as per their standing agreement . This arrangement led to a battle between the " FarStar " and Sarne ' s forces .
