Dorin/Legends

Dorin was a dark and dusty planet in the Expansion Region. It was the homeworld of the Kel Dors, with an atmosphere of a unique gas and helium.

Description


The planet was situated between two black holes, making access to the planet limited, while space travel for the natives was highly dangerous. Dorin's atmosphere contained very little oxygen, and barely supported life. This atmosphere mix affected the evolution of the Kel Dor, requiring them to wear antiox breath masks to filter out oxygen while offworld. Kel Dor society and industry largely revolved around technology. Although most Kel Dors are regarded as highly altruistic to the welfare of other beings, their justice system was strict and swift to potential criminals and lawbreakers.

History
The planet was home of the Baran Do, a Force cult predating the Jedi. Dorin joined the Galactic Republic in 5,975 BBY, and had direct representation in the Galactic Senate. Because so many Jedi came from Dorin, the Republic funded the construction of an enclave on the planet. The atmosphere limited the regular students to Kel Dor, although many Jedi of other species visited the enclave to learn from the Kel Dor masters. While its isolation allowed the planet to remain unharmed by the Old Sith Wars, nearly all Jedi at the enclave on Dorin were killed by Sith assassins following the Jedi Civil War.

Dorin later joined the New Republic, and the Baran Do engaged in contact and exchange with the New Jedi Order.

Jedi Master Plo Koon, his uncle, and his niece, Sha Koon, were all from Dorin.

In 43 ABY, Luke and Ben Skywalker travelled to Dorin to consult the Baran Do and their involvement in Jacen Solo's fall to the dark side.
