The Gem Cities of Kwenn were a series of thirteen island archipelagoes situated on the planet Kwenn. The islands were transformed as part of the Grand Renewal, one of the Great Works of the High Republic Era, when Kwenn was rescued from the brink of destruction. The Gem Cities of Kwenn were divided into three chains; the Windward Chain included Brazatta, Vorah, Zyboh, and Parva Keys. The Middle Chain was composed of Quarney, Langdam, Kinnawah, Capital, Gala, and Essafa Keys, while the Leeward Chain included Rayley, Malbaira, and Addoa Keys. The islands were connected by a series of bridges, as well as the casino barge Pelagic.[1]
Behind the scenes
- "I discovered while writing The Living Force that the planet Kwenn was as big a part of the story as any character. A series of archipelagoes, the Gem Cities of Kwenn feature in many different adventures, with members of the Jedi Council going to and fro."
- ―John Jackson Miller
The Gem Cities of Kwenn featured in the 2024 novel The Living Force, written by John Jackson Miller.[1] A map of Kwenn's islands was included in the novel, with a color version featuring in the Barnes & Noble exclusive edition.[2]
