Zonama Sekot

Zonama Sekot is a living, sentient world capable of traveling through space. Zonama is the planet itself while Sekot is the living intelligence of Zonama. It is also the seed of the original Yuuzhan Vong homeworld Yuuzhan'tar which was destroyed during one of their civil wars. The planet is unique from other worlds. Its north polar region, a spot of white pearl, is surrounded by an entire hemisphere of tropical jungles. Below its equator, is the southern hemisphere which is covered with inpenetrable silvery clouds. Along the equator, there are several rivers, lakes and small seas. The edge of the southern hemisphere is also covered by elegant wisps of wind which frequently break free to form spinning storms. Zonama Sekot's inhabitants are black-haired humanoid Ferroan colonists and the living world is ruled by Magisters. The Ferroans are believers in the Potentium View of the Force which denies the existence of both the light and dark sides.

During the time of the Old Republic, Zonama Sekot was rumoured to be home to the fastest ships in the galaxy. The living planet first appeared in the novel Rogue Planet when Jedi knight Obi Wan Kenobi and his padawan Anakin Skywalker and traveled to it to find fellow Jedi Vergere and to purchase one of the planet's living ships. Zonama Sekot was previously under attack from the Yuuzhan Vong but it defeated them. Later Tarkin, then a Republic commander, declares war on the living world and attacks it. Zonama Sekot unveils its hyperspace system and escapes into the Unknown Regions.

Later during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, Luke Skywalker, Mara Jade Skywalker, Han Solo, Leia, C-3PO, R2-D2 and several Jedi travel to Zonama Sekot which harbours the long forgotten secrets of the Yuuzhan Vong. Later in the The Final Prophecy, Nom Anor disguised as Yu'shaa, the leader of the underground Jeedai heretics tries to destroy the living world but fails. In the Unifying Force, Zonama Sekot travels to Yuuzhan Vong held Coruscant which is renamed Yuuzhan'tar and gathers the Yuuzhan Vong willing to follow it and then travels back to the Unknown Regions.
