Colonial Station Camco

Colonial Station Camco,^[1] also known as Colonial Station Cam'co,^[3] was a terrestrial planet^[1] located within the Colonial Station Camco system of the Chiss Ascendancy's Chiss Space in the Unknown Regions. It was situated in grid square F-8 on the Standard Galactic Grid.^[2] The Chiss Caregiver Mitth'ali'astov, known by the core name "Thalias," was born there before she became a sky-walker navigator.^[1]

In 19 BBY,^[4] Thalias undertook her Trials to become a Trial-born of the Mitth family at the family's homestead on the Chiss capital and homeworld, Csilla. At the homestead, Thalias' first Trial was to trace the path of her life on a mosaic that was a stylized map of the Ascendancy. As such, the Caregiver first set foot on the icon depicting Colonial Station Camco.^[1]
