Jomark/Legends

Jomark was the second of six worlds in the Jomark system. Originally known as Bynas, it was absorbed into Xim's Empire as he expanded his borders from the Kingdom of Cron.
==Description==
The second of six planets in the Jomark system, Jomark was the only one capable of supporting life, and the only planet to be colonized. The planet was mostly covered by ocean, with one small continent called Kalish, and thousands of small island clusters dotting the surface. It had a population of 2.8 million spread across Kalish. These colonists lived by fishing and sea farming.The Thrawn Trilogy Sourcebook
==History==
Jomark was once home to a native species that built the High Castle, but these beings were long gone by the time of Human colonization during the Old Republic era a few thousand years before the New Republic. A minor world, Jomark wasn't well-settled and few planetary maps were logged in records of star chart updates. A galactic survey team visited some fifteen years before the arrival of Luke Skywalker on the world, giving the world its last official notice until it gained prominence with rumors of a Jedi Master's appearance there.
It was at his residence on Jomark that Joruus C'baoth awaited Skywalker's arrival.
In a town near the High Castle, Joruus C'baoth set up his rule, including solving disputes, which he later had Luke do. In one argument, C'baoth used Force lightning on a citizen for attacking another, alarming Luke.
The Yuuzhan Vong captured Jomark during their invasion of the galaxy.
==Behind the scenes==
Jomark was first mentioned in the 1991 novel Heir to the Empire, the first volume in the The Thrawn Trilogy written by Timothy Zahn. It first appeared in the 1992 novel Dark Force Rising, the trilogy's second entry. The planet was named by Zahn after his friend Mark Jones.
