Ogemites were a sentient species in the galaxy.[1] In 232 BBY,[2] several Ogemites boarded the starship Journeyman on[1] the Mid Rim planet[3] Cerea. However, the Journeyman was damaged by an impact with debris during the galactic-wide Great Hyperspace Disaster while traveling on a hyperspace route and sent out a distress call. Jedi Master Cohmac Vitus, who boarded the vessel to assist with saving its occupants, saw a few of the ship's Ogemite passengers while moving to clear a blockage preventing access to the nearby escape pods. Vitus successfully eliminated the obstacle, allowing the Journeyman's travelers to flee the ship safely before it exploded shortly afterward.[1]
