Legend

this planet, located along the Ison Corridor in the Anoat Sector, was the homeworld of the Morodin race. Varonat was a jungle world that was originally colonized by the Morodin about a millennia before the formation of the Old Republic. A group of human colonists from the planet Salliche arrived many millennia later, about 250 years before the Galactic Civil War. They established a farming economy, which proved to be profitable. However, the Morodin proved to be a menace to the community's farms because of their size and the slime they left behind, which caused the soil to become infertile. Many of the farming industry's profits went into security measures. Gamgalon later set up a hunting industry on Varonat, as a cover for his aleudrupe berry farms. Both businesses were eventually shut down, after it was discovered that he was actually hunting the Morodin. The average day on Varonat lasted 27 standard hours, and its year encompassed 325 local days. Note that the Galactic Gazetteer: Hoth and the Greater Javin indicates Varonat's day lasted 24 hours, and its year lasted 400 local days.
