- "…ongoing Imperial operations targeting another dozen worlds. Burnin Konn, Cadovant, [sic] Abednedo, and Commenor among them. Some of these appear to be solely punitive on the part of the Empire, though the purpose of many others is far less clear."
- ―Admiral Gial Ackbar
Candovant was a planet[1] in the Candovant system[2] of the Colonies region of the galaxy, situated along the Hydian Way and home to the Candovantan species.[1][4] In the aftermath of the Battle of Endor[5] in 4 ABY,[6] the Galactic Empire targeted Candovant as part of Operation: Cinder, attempting to destroy the world after the death of Emperor Palpatine.[4] The world ultimately saw the devastation of civilizations at the hands of Imperial fleets.[5] Thirty years after the Battle of Endor, Candovant was a member world in the New Republic, where it was represented by Zygli Bruss in the Galactic Senate.[3]
Behind the scenes
Candovant was first mentioned in the comic Shattered Empire 4, written by Greg Rucka, penciled by Marco Checchetto[4] and released on October 21, 2015.[7]
