Iridonia

Iridonia was a planet^[2] located in the galaxy's Mid Rim, in grid square J-7^[1] on the Standard Galactic Grid.^[4] 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^[5] and her niece Jas Emari, who considered the planet to be brutal and unforgiving.^[6] 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.^[7]

During the Clone Wars, Sugi's sister lived on Iridonia, and was sent what few credits her sister had left after she had paid her crew and maintained her gear.^[8]

Behind the scenesEdit

Iridonia was first mentioned in the Star Wars canon in "Witches of the Mist,"^[7] a 2011 episode of the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars' third season.^[9] The planet was originally created for the 2000 Star Wars Legends young readers novel Star Wars Episode I Journal: Darth Maul, written by Jude Watson.^[10]
