Zonama Sekot

“From what I have seen, peace does not seem to be the natural state of the universe.“

―Sekot

HOMEWORLD OF THE HORDE

Zonama Sekot (Ferroan for “World of Body and Mind“) was a living, sentient world capable of traveling through space. Zonama was the planet itself, while Sekot was the living intelligence of Zonama. It was also the seed of the original Yuuzhan Vong homeworld, Yuuzhan’tar, which had been destroyed during the Cremlevian War.

Description

“This is a living planet, one large organism, more than the sum of its parts.“

―Nom Anor in disguise as Yu’shaa^[src]

 

Zonama Sekot was unique from other worlds. Its north polar region, a spot of pearl white, was surrounded by an entire hemisphere of tropical jungles. Its southern hemisphere was covered with impenetrable silvery clouds. Along the equator there were several rivers, lakes, and small seas. The edge of the southern hemisphere was also covered by elegant wisps of wind which frequently broke free to form spinning storms.

STAR WARS: GENESIS TIMELINE

Zonama Sekot suddenly appeared in the Outer Rim, and with it came war. The Yuuzhan Vong warlord Artemis Obauldi invaded the outlying systems with volatile force, forcing already weakened governments to pay tribute to the newly established Horde. Other systems, such as Bakura, Sullust, Utapau, Mustafar, & Rattatak found solace in the return of Zonama Sekot and joined forces to establish an iron grip over the Outer Rim.
