Description: Uokara was a fertile class IV planet in the Unknown Regions. For millions of years, it was inhabited by the pathogen Ghymnon, who covered it entirely from sea to sea and killed thousands of would-be conquerors and despots. In the Imperial Era, the Sith Lord Darth Vader surveyed the world for the Galactic Empire and incorrectly reported it uninhabited, not realizing.
Description
Uokara was a fertile Class IV planet in the Unknown Regions. A terrestrial world, its surface included multiple seas and mineable resources. There was a rocky coastline that sometimes experiences rainfall along the edge of at least one body of water, with three astral bodies visible in the sky from the area. The planet's sole native was the pathogen Ghymnon, who covered the world's entire surface from sea to sea.
History
For millions of years Ghymnon was the sole occupant of Uokara, slaying thousands of would-be conquerors and despots. During the reign of the Galactic Empire, the Sith Lord Darth Vader surveyed the planet for the Empire, and greenlit mining operations after world after failing to sense the presence of Ghymnon and declaring Uokara uninhabited. The pathogen easily infected Vader via his respirator and, once the Sith had completed the survey and begun the quarantine required by the Empire for contact with class IV worlds, Ghymnon tried to kill the latest invader by fighting the Sith within his own mind.
Vader managed to defeat the pathogen and expel it through his eyes into a bacta tank where it was sterilized. The Sith then had Imperial range troopers equipped with mobile bacta units spray bacta across the surface of Uokara to sterilizie it and eliminate Ghymnon, with large floating bacta tanks also pouring bacta into the body of water along the coastline. On a rock, he spotted one piece of Ghymnon, which he quickly destroyed with his lightsaber.
