Kolatill Kolatill was a planet located in the Kolatill system within the Kathol sector of the Outer Rim Territories . A stopping point for ships plying their business on the Trition Trade Route , the planet was located several days ' travel from the sector capital , Kal ' Shebbol . Noted as one of the sector ' s major repulsorlift manufacturing centers , Kolatill was ruled by the Kolatill Council until Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne was appointed to administer the Kathol sector in 2 BBY . In 0 ABY , the planet was placed under martial law , and most of the repulsorlift industry was ordered to produce combat speeders for Moff Sarne ' s forces . In 8 ABY , after the successful liberation of Kal ' Shebbol by New Republic forces , a popular uprising on Kolatill overthrew their Imperial governor , Tetrum , and reinstated the Kolatill Council . Following this act of defiance , the " Ton - Falk " - class escort carrier " Kathol Protector " arrived in - system and deployed TIE bombers to attack the capital city of Domaz , leaving it ruined and aflame . Kolatill sent out a distress call , which was answered by the New Republic CR90 corvette " FarStar " . The vessel provided relief assistance to the planet , and engaged the " Kathol Protector " in battle after the Imperial vessel returned for a second strike on the world using pathogenic bomb s . Between the combined efforts of the " FarStar " , its fighter squadron , and the Kolatill Defense Force , the planet was spared from further devastation . Description . The planet Kolatill was situated in the Kolatill system of the Kathol sector in the Outer Rim Territories located at grid coordinates M - 21 . A modest stopping point on the Trition Trade Route , Kolatill was located forty - six hours from the sector capital of Kal ' Shebbol when traveling with a Class One - rated hyperdrive , or ninety - two hours with a Class Two - rated unit . Kolatill was connected to five other star systems via hyperlane ; the Torize system was one day and four hours travel from Kolatill , the Aaris system was sixteen hours distant , the Charis system was twenty - one hours away , the Corjain system was a short three hour trip , and fifteen hours were required to transit to the Oon Tien system . Kolatill ' s capital city was Domaz , and its industry was based mainly around repulsorlift manufacturing . The planet was regarded as one of the major producers of repulsorcraft and associated equipment in the sector . The northern continental mountain chains were home to numerous mining complexes and repulsorlift factories . Ikas - Adno , a major manufacturer of repulsorcraft , operated around a dozen factories on the planet , with several local companies such as GandleMotors and Kal ' Shebbol Transport manufacturing their own designs . The local companies also supplied parts to the Ikas - Adno plants . The planet had a high degree of axial tilt , which led to extreme seasonal variations . Frigid winters lasted for five months , except in the equatorial regions , and swelteringly hot summers lasted almost as long . Both seasons were particularly unpleasant for the inhabitants of the planet . Each day on the planet lasted for twenty - eight standard hours , and a year was 405 local days . The equatorial regions of the planet featured a variety of terrains , including forests , mountains , lowlands , plains , and wetlands , and were sparsely populated in comparison to the north . The mountain ranges were untouched by heavy industry , and agricultural complexes were the main source of industry , with the ranching of herd animals such as chollas and banthas being the main source of income . The meat and hides fetched good prices in the markets of the northern cities , and were exported to the nearby planets Gandle Ott and Torize . Fruit and vegetable growing was prevalent in the wetlands , making Kolatill virtually self - sufficient food - wise . However , the planet did rely on outside trade to bring in higher technology items such as computers , processing equipment , medicines , and starships . The planet had a population of 400 million beings , mainly consisting of Humans , Twi ' leks , and Jarell . The main population centers were located in the northern regions of the planet , near to the main industrial centers and manufacturing plants . Mountain ranges dominated the north , and supplied a steady stream of materials and ores to Kolatill ' s industrial base . Outside the cities , the wilds were dangerous , with predators prowling the mountain passes and attacking herd animals . History . Kolatill was ruled by the Kolatill Council , until the Galactic Empire appointed Kentor Sarne as Moff of the Kathol sector in 2 BBY . Recognizing the potential of the large repulsorlift manufacturing facilities located on the planet , Sarne instituted a despotic regime on the world . In 0 ABY , he appointed Tetrum as the planetary governor , who declared the entire planet to be under martial law . The Kolatill Council was arrested and imprisoned , and all local repulsorlift manufacturing plants were ordered to produce combat speeders for Sarne ' s military forces . Only Ikas - Adno , due to its wealth and political connections , was spared from the edict . These changes to the planet ' s society created a nervous and restless population , one that was sympathetic to the Alliance to Restore the Republic , and later the New Republic . However , Tetrum used an extensive network of spies to identify potential threats and enemy sympathizers . Following the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY , Moff Sarne quietly withdrew the Kathol sector from the fracturing Empire and set himself up as a warlord . As a result , Kolatill , like much of the Kathol sector , became answerable only to Sarne . In 8 ABY , the New Republic launched an assault on the planet Kal ' Shebbol that liberated the sector capital from Sarne ' s rule , and forced the Moff to flee into the deep regions of the Kathol sector with the majority of his fleet . When news of Sarne ' s defeat at Kal ' Shebbol reached Kolatill , the population staged an uprising , overthrowing and jailing Governor Tetrum . The surviving three members of the Kolatill Council were freed , and resumed control of the planet . Their first act was to declare their allegiance to the New Republic . They also managed to acquire six TIE fighters as the beginnings of their own defense force . Shortly after the planet declared its fealty to the New Republic , the Imperial " Ton - Falk " - class escort carrier " Kathol Protector " entered the system and launched TIE bombers toward Kolatill . The bombers targeted the capital of Domaz , leaving much of the city in ruins . Following the assault , the ship broadcast a transmission to the planet , claiming that the attack was a lesson aimed at those who chose to join the New Republic , before withdrawing from the system . Kolatill ' s government sent out a distress signal to the New Republic forces stationed at Kal ' Shebbol , and the CR90 corvette " FarStar " intercepted the transmission while in orbit of the planet . The vessel , preparing for a shakedown cruise ahead of a mission to track down Moff Sarne following his flight from the capital , responded immediately to the message . Monjai , the recently appointed New Republic governor of Kal ' Shebbol , also promised to deploy medical ships to Kolatill as soon as possible . The " FarStar " arrived at the planet four days after the bombing of Domaz , and rendered all available assistance to the city , assisting in relief operations such as tending to the wounded , recovering medical supplies , distributing food and guarding supply convoys against looters and wild animals . Captain Keleman Ciro , commanding officer of the " FarStar " , engaged in diplomatic meetings with Council or Kause of the Kolatill Council , which were subsequently broadcast across the planet to increase morale among the population . Shortly after the arrival of the " FarStar " , the " Kathol Protector " returned to the system to strike at the planet again . This time , the TIE bombers were armed with virulent pathogenic bomb s , and intended to assault several other cities on the planet simultaneously . While the " FarStar " engaged the " Kathol Protector " in orbit of the planet , elements of the corvette ' s fighter squadron , led by Lieutenant Ranna Gorjaye and assisted by the Kolatill Defense Force , intercepted the bombers before they could release their payloads . During the battle , Captain Ciro , who had been in transit in a shuttle between the " FarStar " and the planet when the attack had occurred , was captured by the escort carrier . Additionally , his brother , fighter pilot Noell Ciro , purposely sacrificed his own life to destroy a TIE bomber that was closing on its target by ramming it after his own craft was left without functional weapons . With its bomber force defeated , the " Kathol Protector " left the system . Following the successful defense of the planet , the Kolatill Council held a memorial ceremony for those who had lost their lives in the battle . As a measure of thanks to the " FarStar " and her crew , the Council provided them with the coordinates to the planet Gandle Ott since they believed that Sarne was heading in that direction . Inhabitants . Kolatill was home to 400 million beings , with sizeable communities of Humans , Twi ' leks , and Jarells . Unhappy with the rule of the Galactic Empire , much of the population grew sympathetic to the Alliance to Restore the Republic , and its successor state , the New Republic , and openly declared their independence from the Empire at the first opportunity . Locations . Domaz , the capital city of the planet , was an extensive urban area that included residential and capital districts , and a large park in the center . In 8 ABY , the city was attacked and devastated by TIE bombers from the Imperial escort carrier " Kathol Protector " in retaliation for the planet ' s overthrow of their Imperial governor . Much of the city ' s capital district was leveled , and the residential areas were severely damaged . Large areas were left in flames , and the park at the center was used as an emergency aid station and refugee camp . New Republic forces assisted in relief and recovery operations in the city several days after the initial attack . Kolatill also had a number of other populated cities and agricultural settlements spread across the planet . In the wake of the bombing of Domaz , these cities sent aid and supplies to the capital to assist in recovery operations . During the subsequent Battle of Kolatill , these other cities were targeted for destruction by the TIE bombers from the " Kathol Protector " through the use of pathogenic bombs . The combined efforts of the " FarStar " starfighter squadron and the Kolatill Defense Force managed to avert the destruction of any more population areas . The main source of Kolatill ' s industry — the manufacture of repulsorlift vehicles and parts — was made possible by the extensive mountain ranges located in the northern hemisphere of the planet . These mountains provided the people of Kolatill with the raw materials needed to produce repulsorlift - related technology , and the majority of the planet ' s population centers were established in the northern hemisphere to take advantage of these natural resources . Behind the scenes . Kolatill ' s only appearance in " Star Wars " canon has been in " The DarkStryder Campaign " , a roleplaying game sourcebook for use with " " by West End Games . Kolatill is the primary setting for the adventure " Omens " , written by Bill Smith .
