Description

Kamori was a terrestrial world^[2] located in the Kamori system of the Core Worlds.^[1] Its surface featured coastal areas.^[2]

History

Around 10 BBY,^[3] the Glanthe painter Dana Dregond, who was widely regarded as Glanthe school's premiere artist in Kamori's sector, was awarded Kamori's honorary title of "living treasure". Ten years later, a series of powerful groundquakes occurred in Kamori's Zethusian plains region. They resulted in the deaths of several hundred thousand people, including Dregond, and caused significant damage to three cities in the area. In addition, tidal waves caused by the quakes led to further damage to outlying coastal areas.^[2]

In response, Kamori's Chamber President Thane Dregond declared the area affected by the quakes to be eligible for government disaster relief and petitioned the world's Galactic Empire governor for additional relief funds. On the date 36:2:4, within a week of the disaster, the groundquakes on Kamori were covered in a news report by Hypermedia Galactic News Service, issued from Tandaro on Kamori.^[2]

Inhabitants

Kamori's population numbered more than several hundred thousand. During the reign of the Galactic Empire, the world was overseen by an Imperial governor, and the local government administrating the area of the Zethusian plains was led by a Chamber President. "Living treasure" was an honor rarely bestowed upon Kamori's most accomplished artists.^[2]

Locations

Kamori was the site of the location known as the Zethusian plains, which hosted the cities Hyra, Jandal, and Kimora City. The location Tandaro was also situated on Kamori.^[2]
