- "I trust you've heard that the assassins have been identified as members of the Nebula Front. The few that managed to escape were traced to Asmeru, a world on the edge of the Senex sector."
- ―Finis Valorum, to Mace Windu and Yoda
Asmeru was a planet in the Senex sector of the Mid Rim, on the border with the Hadar sector.
Description[]
- "The planet once supported great cities and grand palaces, but all those fell victim to sudden climatic change. The current population is comprised of Ossan slaves created on the Vandron world of Karfeddion, but banished here owing to defects of one sort or another. Bred for agricultural work, the slaves have managed to make a life for themselves, though we doubt that you will find them especially welcoming."
- ―A representative of House Vandron
The planet was very mountainous,[1] and had been populated by some form of civilization in the past, as evidenced by the numerous ruins that dot Asmeru's surface.[2]
Near Asmeru was a gravitic sink known as the Asmeru Anomaly, which could be dangerous for unwary spacers.[1]
History[]
- "Nevertheless, the Outer Rim worlds are now in turmoil. Even those who don't openly support the Nebula Front are decrying the fact that the Republic took it upon itself to intercede at Asmeru."
- ―Bor Gracus, to Palpatine
The planet was was controlled by Houses Vandron and Elegin.[1]
Around 32 BBY, Asmeru was the headquarters of the Nebula Front, which surrounded the planet with a dangerous minefield. The pirates were eventually defeated by an attack of Jedi and Judicials.[2]
The planet remained neutral during the Clone Wars.[3]
