Obroa-Skai

Back to List

Obroa-skai was a planet in the Obroa system within a strategic position of the Borderlands region of the Inner Rim Territories. Ecologically, the world was a terrestrial mix of tundras, mountains, grasslands and deserts. A standard day was 26 standard hours and a standard year 456 local days.

Obroa-skai was home to a large collection of Jedi-related antiquties which were destroyed by the Imperial Security Bureau.

The Obroans kept their planet neutral during the Galactic Civil War, despite heavy petitioning by the New Republic in 9 ABY. Obroa-skai's expansive library of galactic information and numerous academic institutions drew Grand Admiral Thrawn to raid its central computer system. The raid gifted Thrawn with the hidden location of Wayland and was part of a distraction technique used on the New Republic forces prior to the Battle of Sluis Van.

Obroa-skai was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong during their invasion of the galaxy, and a yammosk was installed in the planet's mantle. Much was lost from the archives, but hardcopies of key items were saved before the assault. The Yuuzhan Vong kept many of the copies intact, at least until they could get them fully translated. The world was later liberated, and the yammosk destroyed.
