Legend

this was the name given to the first Ferroan settlement on the planet Zonama Sekot, located in the planet's equatorial region. Established nearly sixty years before the Battle of Naboo, the Middle Distance served as a base of operations for the groups which manufactured Sekotan starships. Some twenty-nine years after the Battle of Yavin, Zonama Sekot made a blind jump into hyperspace as a reaction to the sabotage of Nom Anor. Without time to protect itself, the planet was unable to control the damage that occurred on its surface while in hyperspace. Much of the southern continents were destroyed, and the Middle Distance suffered large amounts of damage from fires and scorching temperatures. To counteract this, Sekot created intense rainstorms, which drenched the Middle Distance for many weeks.
