Drackmar[5] was the Drackmarian homeworld, located in the Drackmar system,[2] in the Quelii sector of the Outer Rim Territories.[1] The atmosphere of Drackmar was composed of methane,[2] requiring native Drackmarians to wear special methane helmets when traveling off-world.[6] On the other hand, oxygen-breathing species could use environmentally-sealed vehicles, such as the Orbitblade-2000, to visit the planet.[7]
History[]
Drackmar was the homeworld of the Drackmarian warlords[3] who conquered several neighboring worlds[3][8] in the Quelii sector,[1] including Dathomir[3] and Morseer.[8]
During the Mandalorian Wars, Drackmar and the Drackmarians joined the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders.[4]
The Drackmarians were eventually defeated by the Galactic Empire[8] and the Drackmar system was integrated in the Quelii Oversector. The system was later part of Warlord Zsinj's empire and, after the death of Zsinj, was annexed by loyal Imperial forces. The Drackmar system was conquered by the Yuuzhan Vong in the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong War.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
Although the Drackmarians and the Drackmar system were created in the 1994 novel The Courtship of Princess Leia,[6] and were later mentioned in several other books,[2] the world of Drackmar was only mentioned in the 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas.[5]
