Tomo Craters

The Tomo Craters were located on the planet Vanqor in the Uziel system.

Formed by an ancient meteor shower—thousands of years in Vanqor's past—the Tomo Craters were part of the world's vast areas of rugged terrain that included also deserts and high plateaus.

In this dry, remote section of the planet marked by deep craters and fissures, the planet's expansionist government created a detention facility—"The Tomo Camp"—which retained prisoners from other worlds in the Uziel system, planets that had been invaded and conquered by Vanqor. Stripped of their clothing, the prisoners were given rough brown tunics to wear and herded into energy-fenced yards outside gray buildings and security towers; periodic "sweeps" were done, in which several prisoners were taken away for "medical experiments" in an unmarked building, from which no one ever returned.

Conducting these "experiments" was the galactic scientist Jenna Zan Arbor—widely considered to be deranged and evil—who used Vanqor as a hidden base for testing one of her drugs, the Zone of Self-Containment. The mad scientist was the driving force behind the Tomo Camp "sweeps" that were carried out upon its prisoners, who would then undergo Zan Arbor's drug-testing procedures. Imprisoned Jedi Anakin Skywalker—Prisoner 42601—was one of these drugged victims.

In 25 BBY, Skywalker and his Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, crash-landed on Vanqor with a crew of TY44 surveillance outpost workers—resistance fighters from the neighboring planet of Typha-Dor whom they'd come from the galactic Core to rescue. By mission's end, the Jedi duo assisted Typha-Dor to fend off Vanqor's attempts to invade their planet, and to help mediate a peace between the two worlds.
