Planet - J
Source List & Abbreviations
Jaemus
Located in the system of the same name within the Pentastar Alignment,
Jaemus is home to a major shipyard and repair facility. Almost as large
as the massive shipyards at Sluis Van, the Jaemus yards are operated by
Galentro Heavy Works and home to branches of the massive Imperial
suppliers Kuat Drive Yards and Sienar Fleet Systems. Both corporations
are jointly producing the Enforcer-class picket cruiser at Jaemus, for
use by the Pentastar Alignment navy. [SWAJ]
Jagga-Two
Located in the Venjagga system at the edge of the Galactic Core,
Jagga-Two is the site of an Imperial base. The base manufactures a
supply of concussion missiles and supports the Imperial Star
Destroyer-II Eviscerator, which is stationed in the system to protect
the missile output. Some three years after the Battle of Endor, the
Alliance staged a feint in on Jagga-Two to cover their simultaneous
assault on Borleias in the nearby Pyria system. [XWRS]
Janara III
A world of green, rolling hills containing the city of Sreina. A number
of years before the Battle of Yavin, Imperial officer Matt Turhaya left
his little girl Alex with relatives on Janara III, while he reported for
duty on the Star Destroyer Relentless. When he returned a year later, he
discovered the city of Sreina had been devastated by an Imperial raid on
suspected rebels. Though Turhaya believed his daughter was dead, she had
actually been rescued and adopted by the Imperial governor of Garos IV.

Jandoon
Located in the system of the same name in the Corva sector of the Outer
Rim, Jandoon is an abandoned world of plains and hills, dotted with the
moss-covered ruins of an ancient alien species. The builders of the
ruins mysteriously died out centuries ago, and the world is rumored to
be a haunted realm of ghosts. After the Battle of Endor, the Gotal
crimelord Mahk'khar planned to sell an ancient relic to the Dark Jedi
Durrei, at a rendezvous on Jandoon. [SWAJ]
Janodral Miznar
Han Solo once fought a group of Zygerrian slavers off Janodral Miznar
and gave the ship and cargo to the freed slaves. Janodral Miznar has a
local law that pirate or slaver victims get to split the proceeds if the
pirates are captured or killed. [HTTE]
Jaresh system
Located in the Corva sector of the Outer Rim and far from major
hyperlanes, the Jaresh system contains a habitable moon orbiting its
third planet. This moon, Jaresh, is a wet, dark swamp world covered with
hundred-meter black trees and shrouded in a thick haze. The moon,
teeming with life, was purchased by the Twi'lek smuggler Ree Shala, who
built her floating base there approximately three years after the Battle
of Endor. [SWAJ]
Javin sector
An Imperial space platform, D-34, guards a major trade route in the
Javin sector, which lies near the Bruanii and Tungra sectors and is
relatively close to the planet Hoth. This platform was captured by the
Alliance following the Battle of Hoth, but was soon reclaimed by the
Imperials. [TSC]
Jendar
Ral Shawgrim, a former Alliance technician turned traitor, was
hospitalized twice during the Jendar Campaign. [SWAJ]
Jerijador
The exports of Jerijador include cheap shoe kits, which are sold in the
markets of Belsavis. [COTJ]
Jerrilek
A blue, tropical world with a rapid rotation, Jerrilek has no moons but
boasts an impressive set of rings. The planet's land makes up only 15%
of the surface area, is concentrated around Jerrilek's equator, and
consists of two main continents (covered with mountainous forests) and
many smaller island chains. The planet is used as a vacation and
retirement spot by many of the galaxy's wealthy and powerful. One of
Jerrilek's largest cities is Graleca, which is located on a small island
and is an important part of the local aquaculture industry. Jerrilek's
population consists of twelve million humans and five million Ithorians,
and many inhabitants travel across the waters in vehicles called
seaskimmers. Though Jerrilek has no native intelligent life, an aquatic
species seems to have existed on the planet over one million years ago--
several of their ancient ruins can be still seen beneath the water's
surface. Retired Imperial Admiral Chel Dorat lives on Jerrilek, in an
estate located on the coast of Graleca. [SWAJ]
Jeyell
Located in the Mid-Rim, Jeyell is home to the corporate offices for
Reiber Manufacturing, a major producer of black-market assassin droid
components. Sometime after the Battle of Yavin, Imperial officials
nationalized Reiber Manufacturing along with several other droid
corporations, giving them control of the Mid-Rim droid market. [SWAJ]
Jodaka
The planet Jodaka has vast oceans surrounded by rocky reefs. The seas
house many unusual animals including the deadly Jodakan needler crab,
which fires poisonous darts to catch its natural seagull prey. [SWAJ]
Joiol
Joiol, in the Orus sector, was investigated as a possible stopover point
in Grand Admiral Thrawn's clone trafficking by Clyngunn the Ze'Hethbra,
who found nothing significant. The smuggler Mazzic was picked up by
Thrawn in the Joiol system and informed that the Empire was not behind
an attack on the smugglers at Trogan. [TLC]
Jomark
Jomark is an isolated, watery planet with three small moons located in
the Jomark system. Its 300,000 square kilometers of surface area are
taken up in strings of tiny islands and one modest continent. Although
no one has taken official notice of the planet for years, the last
census reported its population as a sparse three million. The High
Castle of Jomark sits on the main continent 400 meters above Ring Lake,
on a volcanic cone between rocky crags. Jomark's colonists are reverent
towards the ancient castle, which was constructed by a long-vanished
alien race. Several villages lie clustered near the southern shore of
Ring Lake including Chynoo, where Joruus C'baoth meted out justice to
the villagers from a High Castle throne placed in the town square.
Cracian Thumpers are used as riding mounts by Jomark's colonists. [HTTE,

Jospro sector
A seldom-visited sector containing the Dar'Or system, the Jospro sector
is home to tiny creatures that paralyze the neocortex of the human
brain. Imperial forces on Bakura used these creatures to suppress the
memories of Eppie Belden. [GG4, TAB]
Jovan Station
Jovan Station was the command center for the Imperial fleet blockading
Yavin 4 following the destruction of the first Death Star. The
commanding officer, Admiral Griff, ordered a full-scale attack on Yavin
4 when he heard the Super Star Destroyer Executor had been disabled.

Junkfort Station
A patchwork collection of living modules in space, joined by a network
of airlink tunnels. Ships often travel to Junkfort to receive illegal
modifications, and bounty hunters are ostensibly not allowed on board.
Following the Battle of Yavin, Han Solo and Chewbacca went to Junkfort's
cantina to inquire about how they could acquire shield-disrupting power
gems. [CSW]
Jurzan
Site of the Jurzan spaceport. An Imperial supply fleet carrying a
shipment of bacta stopped at Jurzan for refueling. [SWAJ]
Juvex sector
Adjacent to the Senex sector and near the Ninth Quadrant, the Juvex
sector contains the Juvex systems. Like the Senex sector, it is run by
groups of Ancient Houses, which include the House Streethyn. Bran Kemple
was a small-time gunrunner in the Juvex systems before taking over the
smuggling business on Belsavis. Eight years after the Battle of Endor,
some of the Juvex Lords met with Roganda Ismaren on Belsavis with the
intent of forging a military alliance. [COTJ]
