Noori

Noori was a terrestrial planet in the Noori system of the Expansion Region. Its galactic grid coordinates were O-10. The planet was the homeworld of Noorians, a humanoid species distinguishable from Humans by their striped gold-and-green eyes. Tahl, a Jedi Master who lived during the last decades of the Galactic Republic, hailed from Noori.

Behind the scenes
Noori was first mentioned in The Defenders of the Dead, the fifth installment in the Jedi Apprentice series. Published in 1999, the young reader novel was written by Jude Watson and contains the only in-universe reference to Noori thus far. The planet has since been mentioned in the "Tahl" entry of the 2008 reference book The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia. Noori was given a system placement in the appendix of The Essential Atlas (2009), which also provided the galactic region and grid coordinates of the planet. The same information was included in the Online Appendix of the Atlas Online Companion at StarWars.com.
