Elom (planet)

Elom is a cold and barren desertlike planet, that is home to the Elom and Elomin species. The Elom live in its caves while the Elomin live on the surface.

Lommite is mined on Elom for use in transparisteel, and was the cause of the first interaction between the Elom and the Elomin.

After the planet was conquered by the Empire, the Elomin were forced to slave away in the lommite mines. Since the Empire had not discovered the cave-dwelling Elom, they were able to help some Elomin escape slavery. After the New Republic liberated the planet, the two species formed an alliance.
