Adumar / Legends Adumar was a temperate planet located near the Coreward edge of Wild Space first settled by Humans in the Ductavis Era . The settlers , who had been exiled from the Republic , lived in isolation for years , and developed into several nations that spread across the world . Their culture became obsessed with the arts of blastsword fighting and starfighter combat , to the point where skilled swordsmen and pilots were highly revered . Their society also made considerable use of formal duels as means for settling disputes or even just for entertainment , and also had a rigid social hierarchy . By 12 and 13 ABY , Adumari scoutships had ventured far enough from their homeworld to learn of the events of the larger galaxy ; namely , the struggle between the New Republic and Galactic Empire . As Adumar had considerable industrial resources devoted to manufacturing munitions , both sides were eager to gain an alliance with the world . Therefore , both the New Republic and the Empire sent delegations to Adumar , each composed of elite starfighter pilots . The delegations were sent to Adumar ' s largest nation , Cartann , and during their stay , the " perator " , or leader , of Cartann decided to take control of the entire planet . While he had aid from the Empire , the New Republic pilots escaped Cartann and rallied the other Adumari nations into the Adumari Union and defeated Cartann and its allies . The Adumari also later routed an Imperial task force sent to aid Cartann and ultimately joined the New Republic . They would remain members of the New Republic and its successor state , the Galactic Alliance , for years , participating in the Yuuzhan Vong War and the Second Galactic Civil War , during which the world broke with the Galactic Alliance to join the Confederation . Description . Adumar ' s Human settlers had a complex social structure which was based on personal honor and triumph over one ' s enemies . Adumari nobility was obsessed with blastsword duels and starfighter combat , ignoring the underprivileged underground factory workers until the planet joined the New Republic . The Adumari were also skilled in the manufacture of missiles , with several kinds being produced — including , for example , a variety which would penetrate through a solid surface before detonating , creating a large crater in the target . Their extensive missile production facilities could easily be modified into proton torpedo production , leading to both Imperial and New Republic interest in wooing the planet . However , the Adumari lacked a planetary government and were instead divided into several nation - states , though the most powerful was Cartann ' s nation . Cartann also controlled several smaller nations through diplomatic treaties and alliances . History . Early history . In the Ductavis Era , Adumar was settled by a separatist group of Humans that had been defeated by the Galactic Republic and banished . During this long period of isolation from galactic civilization , Adumari civilization would develop into that of various states which fought each other . Adumari nobility was obsessed with blastsword duels and starfighter combat , and were also skilled in the manufacture of missiles which could easily be modified into proton torpedoes . Galactic Civil War . In the years 12 to 13 ABY , Adumari scoutships had ventured far enough into inhabited space to have learned what had taken place in the wider galaxy during their isolation , most notably of the ongoing Galactic Civil War between the New Republic and the remnants of the Empire . In the aftermath of the Orinda campaign , the New Republic and the Empire learned that Adumar was an industrial powerhouse manufacturing missiles , and both sides saw the strategic importance the planet possessed if they could bring it to their camp . However , negotiation by diplomats would be impossible due to the Adumari reverence for military heroes . The Perator of Cartann Pekaelic ke Teldan offered both governments the chance to prove themselves with the winner earning the allegiance of Adumar and its valuable missile industrial powerhouse . The New Republic sent General Wedge Antilles of the famed Rogue Squadron while the Imperials dispatched Turr Phennir , who had assumed control over the legendary 181st Imperial Fighter Wing . Soon after , the Perator of Cartann , with nudging by rogue New Republic diplomat Tomer Darpen , declared that he was creating a planetary government controlled by Cartann . When representatives of the smaller Adumari states opposed Cartann , the Perator declared war , beginning the Adumari Civil War . When the Perator asked the Imperial and New Republic pilots to support Cartann in the conflict , Phennir agreed , while Antilles refused . In response , Darpen tricked the ruler into believing that Antilles and his pilots wanted an honorable death in combat with the to avoid the shame of having to refuse . After escaping the Cartann forces Antilles came in contact with the developing Adumari Coalition and agreed to lead their combined armies in an attack on Cartann . Following the successful attack Darper was arrested and The Perator abdicated the throne in favor of his son , Balass ke Teldan . Balass ke Teldan settled an agreement with the other Adumari state leaders , and the various Adumari nations united under the Adumari Union , a government supportive of the New Republic . Following the establishment of the planetary government , the Empire attacked the planet , beginning the Battle of Adumar . The combined New Republic and Adumari Union forces were able to repel the Imperial invasion . In retaliation , Imperial Admiral Pellaeon later attacked Adumar and bombarded the planet with the Super Star Destroyer " Reaper " . The Yuuzhan Vong agent Nom Anor incited anti - Republic riots on the world in the months following its allying with the New Republic . Near the end of the Galactic Civil War , in 17 ABY , the Imperial Remnant launched the last major Imperial campaign against the New Republic . Admiral Pellaeon fought a victorious battle at Adumar but the Imperial forces were eventually defeated , forced to negociate peace with the New Republic two years later . Yuuzhan Vong War and later history . In 26 ABY , during the Yuuzhan Vong War , Adumari forces launched a flanking maneuver against the Yuuzhan Vong near the Bilbringi system , aiding in the repulsion of the Vong from the Galactic Core . In 40 ABY , Adumar became allied with Corellia at the start of the Second Galactic Civil War . That year , Jedi Knight Jacen Solo and his apprentice Ben Skywalker were sent on a mission to uncover an illegal missile factory on the planet Adumar . The mission ended in a violent ambush , from which both Jedi narrowly escaped with their lives . The incident sparked political unrest that threatened to ignite into total rebellion and shatter the young Galactic Alliance . Behind the scenes . The name Adumar is derived from , the French author who wrote The Three Musketeers . Aaron Allston revealed this during a panel at Jedi - Con in 2004 , alluding to similarities between the Musketeers and the pilots starring in Starfighters of Adumar .
