Legend

this planet, loacted in the Chorios System of the Meridian Sector, was chosen by the Grissmath Dynasty as a penal world some fifty years after a group of colonists fled the Grissmaths in order to be free. The original settlers, as well as the prisoners sent there, discovered that the crystalline rocks of the planet were alive with the Force. When the Force was used on the planet, it created backlashes within the crystals, and ripples of Force lightning sometimes plunged through the canyons at night to expel excees Force energy. When the Grissmaths sent drochs to the planet to ensure the prisoners were killed, the inhabitants and the crystals tried to do everything in their power to keep the drochs from spreading off the planet. It was on this world that Dzym rose to power, enslaving the crystals - known as Spooks - and selling them to Loronar for used in CCIR technologies. When Leia Organa-Solo and Luke Skywalker arrived on the world - Leia to meet with Seti Ashgad, Luke to search for Callista - they discovered the abilities of the Spooks, and managed to depose Dzym and Ashgad. Luke then spent a number of years scouring the galaxy for those Spooks which could be returned to Nam Chorios. Note that the jacket liner of Planet of Twilight refers to this world as Renat Chorios.
