The title of this article is conjectural.

Although this article is based on official information from the Star Wars Legends continuity, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

A sentient species lived on the planet Neona, which was located in the Freeworlds Territory of^[1] the Colonies'^[2] Tapani sector. The species developed an advanced culture and constructed an extensive network of structures on Neona's surface.^[1] Around 19,997 BBY,^[3] Neona underwent a sustained warming period: polar ice caps melted, raising the level of Neona's oceans until all the planet's landmasses were covered except for a frozen continent at each pole. The flooding of their cities led to the extinction of the species.^[1]

Twenty-thousand years later, the ruins of their civilization still dotted Neona's ocean bed. By this time, Neona had become a mining world under the control of Hanson Mining Consolidated. While under Hanson Mining's administration, teams of archeologists and xenoanthrolopogists occasionally explored these ruins, including when the Mrlsst Academy dispatched a team of scientists to examine the ruins in a systematic study. They established a small research station underwater at the edge of a large ruin in Neona's southern hemisphere.^[1]
