Rhoremone was a terrestrial moon that orbited the gas giant Balagash[2] in the Balagash system of the Expansion Region's Hali sector. It lay in grid square 0-9 of the Standard Galactic Grid.[1] Sapient gardens were located on the moon. During the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems,[2] which lasted from 22 BBY to 19 BBY,[3] battles were fought on all seventeen of Balagash's moons, including Rhoremone. At the end of the war, the Republic was reorganized into the Galactic Empire.[2]
In 19 BBY,[4] the Imperial Intelligence operative Haki Zeophrine accompanied Senator Bail Organa to Balagash's eighth moon, Balumbra, while he was investigating the Empire's framing of the Jedi Order for treason. On Balumbra, Zeophrine mentally noted that although it lacked the sapient gardens of Rhoremone and the moon Ma'a's fierce warriors, it was the most defensible of Balagash's moons.[2]
Behind the scenes
Rhoremone was mentioned in the 2025 novel Reign of the Empire: The Mask of Fear, written by Alexander Freed as the first installment of the Star Wars: Reign of the Empire trilogy.[2]

Star Wars: Edge of the Abyss on Penguin Books' official United Kingdom website (backup link) establishes the events of Reign of the Empire: The Mask of Fear take place thirteen years before the events of Reign of the Empire: Edge of the Abyss. 
Rebecca Roanhorse (@rebeccaroanhorse) on Instagram (post): "Title and updated release date of my upcoming STAR WARS novel announced at SDCC. THE EDGE OF THE ABYSS takes place a year before Andor S1." (backup link) states that Edge of the Abyss takes place a year before the events of Andor Season 1, which are set in 5 BBY per the reasoning here. Therefore, the events of Edge of the Abyss must be set in 6 BBY, and the events of The Mask of Fear in 19 BBY.
