Iridonia

Iridonia was a planet^[2] located in the galaxy's Mid Rim, in grid square J-7 on the Standard Galactic Grid.^[1] It was the homeworld of the near-human Zabrak species,^[2] with Zabraks hailing from Iridonia being specifically known as Iridonian Zabraks.^[3]

Iridonia was the homeworld of the Zabrak bounty hunter Sugi^[4] and her niece Jas Emari, who considered the planet to be brutal and unforgiving.^[5] Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi mistakenly believed the Dathomirian Zabrak Darth Maul was born on Iridonia, when in fact he was born on the planet Dathomir, home to a tribal group of male Zabrak known as the Nightbrothers.^[6]
