- "'Batuu: home to ancient ruins and giant petrified black trees.' 'Umme: galaxy-class hunting.' 'Yakorki: wide selection of edible wild fungi.' 'Mokivj: ten moons, beautiful sunsets.' 'Plood: majestic seascapes.' It's like they pulled these out of travel brochures."
- ―Anakin Skywalker, to Thrawn
Umme was a planet located in the Outer Rim Territories that offered galaxy-class hunting. It was situated on a hyperspace route between the planets Batuu and Yakorki. Many individuals visited Umme to hunt, most of whom were able to afford their own safari guides who dealt with mobile accommodations, droid porters, game tracking, and field taxidermy; however, the planet offered its own guide services that provided big-game blasters.[1]
In 19 BBY,[4] Umme was included in the datafiles of the Separatist Alliance freighter Larkrer, along with other locations on the route between Batuu and the[3] planet[1] Cermau. Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and Chiss Ascendancy Commander Mitth'raw'nuruodo investigated the freighter's datafiles to find out the location of a Separatist base that the vessel had helping to supply, with Skywalker remarking that the descriptions of Umme and the other locations sounded like they were copied from a travel brochure.[3] The planet was listed in the book Traveler's Guide to Batuu, written by the author and historian Eloc Throno, who recommended Umme as a possible destination from Batuu that could be reached in a short flight.[1]
Behind the scenes
Umme was first mentioned in the 2018 novel Thrawn: Alliances, written by Timothy Zahn.[3]

Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates both the end of the Clone Wars and Tano's trial to the year 19 BBY. Therefore, the mention of Umme must also take place in 19 BBY.
