Kuar was a Deep Core world of flat, rocky, dusty plains.
Description[]
Kuar was the fifth planet in the Kuar system, orbiting a single star.[3] The planet lay on the Koros Trunk Line between Empress Teta and Foerost.[1] The native Kuarans built cites, towns and villages throughout the world,[3] almost always underground.[6]
Native fauna included combat arachnids, and six-legged yellow reptiles with prehensile tails.[3]
History[]
Kuar was conquered in 4002 BBY by the Mandalorians,[7] who wiped out most of the indigenous Kuarans[5] and used the ruined, underground cities as staging grounds for their attack upon the Empress Teta system.[6] To resolve the conflict, Ulic Qel-Droma challenged Mandalore the Indomitable to a duel. On the Plains of Harkul, Qel-Droma defeated the Mandalorian leader, winning his loyalty.[4] The Mandalorians only used the planet briefly after conquering it, and the structures were abandoned for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.[3]
During the Diversity Alliance Crisis, Bornan Thul met with the scavenger Fonterrat on Kuar, on behalf of the Alliance leader, Nolaa Tarkona.[8] Jacen Solo, Jaina Solo and Tenel Ka later arrived on the planet while trying to find Raynar Thul's father.[3]
