Legend

this remote world, located on the inner edge of Wild Space, was colonized some 10,000 years before the Battle of Yavin by separatists who had rebelled against the Old Republic. They had been defeated by the Republic's forces, and given the option of death or resettlement. They chose to be resettled, opting to take their chances on a remote planet rather than be executed. The separatists evolved outside the mainstream of galactic growth for millennia, until they were contacted by the New Republic some 8 years after the Battle of Endor. The human natives of the planet, who call themselves the Adumari, developed a complex social structure which was based on personal honor and triumph over one's enemies. The primary industries of the planet were based on the production of war materiel, and they were skilled in the manufacture of proton torpedoes. They lacked a world government when a New Republic mapping ship accidentally found the planet and first contacted them, but the Adumari quickly learned that the Republic was not the only power in the galaxy. The perator of Cartann, Pekaelic ke Teldan, offered both the remnants of the Empire and the New Republic the chance to prove themselves and earn the alliance of Adumar in what basically became a popularity contest between Wedge Antilles and Turr Phennir. The perator himself was eventually ousted in favor of his son, who was more receptive to creating a democratic world government, where his father had wanted a government controlled by Cartann leaders. In the end, Adumar welcomed the New Republic and became a member world. Adumar has two moons.
