Agamar/Legends

Agamar was an agriworld in the Lahara Sector. It was governed by the Agamarian Council. As something of a backwater, Agamar was not a well-known world, despite its importance as a breadbasket. Amongst those who had heard of the planet, Agamarians were stereotyped as dumb hicks. It was presumably the planet from which New Agamar was settled.

The planet was represented directly in the Galactic Senate by Tyreca Bremack until seceding because of high taxes 22 BBY, shortly before the Clone Wars. It was the site of two or three battles during the Clone Wars.

During the First Battle of Mirgoshir, in the month following the Battle of Geonosis, the Galactic Republic fleet was led by Yoda and Mace Windu and included about 30 Delta-7 Aethersprites. The Confederacy of Independent Systems defeated the Galactic Republic by using the Force Harvester.

Later that month, Dark Reaper was destroyed on Thule. Mace Windu-led Clone Troopers recovered the planet. It is unclear when this attempt began, but three or four months later Separatist armies were tied up fighting on Agamar and Muunilinst, and unable to reinforce Shogar Tok on Brentaal. It is unclear if there were two separate battles on Agamar in between those on Thule and Brentaal, or one long protracted battle.

During one of these battles on Agamar, Republic walkers, while crossing a natural land bridge on the planet, caused the bridge to collapse beneath them by their stomping, resulting in many vehicles and soldiers being lost. Presumably, this battle was a victory for the Confederacy of Independent Systems. This disaster prompted Kuat Drive Yards to team up with Mekuun to design the UT-AT, which the Republic used successfully on Mygeeto, Cato Neimoidia, and Utapau.

Mon Mothma later created sympathy for the Rebel Alliance on Agamar. In retaliation, the Galactic Empire destroyed the settlement of Tondatha. This prompted Agamarian Keyan Farlander to join the Rebel Alliance; Keyan eventually joined the New Jedi Order.

Rebel agitation did not, however, give the Alliance control of the planet, and Agamar long remained part of Imperial Space. During the Hunt for Zsinj in 7 ABY, three members of Wraith Squadron took advantage of the Agamarian stereotype on an infiltration mission to the Imperial world of Storinal, disguising themselves as three girl-crazed, bumbling, redneck brothers from Agamar on a wife-hunting expedition. Later, in 12 ABY, Agamar later served as the rendezvous where Grand Admiral Gilad Pellaeon mustered his fleet before the Battle of Orinda.

By the time of the Yuuzhan Vong War, Agamar had become part of the New Republic, and responding to Leia Organa Solo's appeal to their heroic reputation, the Agamarians allowed many refugees on their world. Sadly, Agamar itself fell to the extragalactic invaders prior to the razing of Ithor. The inhabitants were turned into mindless drones by Yuuzhan Vong surge-coral.
