Bonadan was a planet in the Corporate Sector and the primary world in the Bonadan system at the end of the Hydian Way, boasting ten large spaceports. The densely populated planet housed many exotic species from around the galaxy. Bonadanians found off-world were either from wealthy corporate families or those that had escaped the life of corporate servitude.

Geography

BonadanSurface
Scarred surface of Bonadan

Bonadan's yellow, parched surface was heavily eroded, and its topsoil had been destroyed due to constant drilling and construction. The once-beautiful landscape was scorched and barren from years of strip-mining, pollution, and mismanagement. The remaining surface was covered with factories, refineries, docks, and shipbuilding facilities in ten spaceports, the largest being Spaceport Southeast II.

A massive weather-control station lay in the mountains to the north of the main cities; it was used to generate sweeper storms that cleaned the polluted air. Despite this, foul-smelling rain and pollution was widespread. Weapons were banned on Bonadan, and being caught by one of the omnipresent weapon detectors was grounds for immediate arrest. Newcomers were thoroughly scanned before landing.

From space, Bonadan was a yellow sphere covered with rust-red strips. It looked barren and parched, for whatever plant life not killed deliberately died due to careless mining operations, abundant pollutants, and simple neglect. The tortapo was some of the last surviving fauna on the planet.

History

An emerging society[5] as of 3956 BBY,[6] the Bonadan people financed efforts to explore the galaxy by selling small arms and armor. When producing this armor, the Bonadan preferred to use heavier materials so the wearer would be better protected.[5] Despite their exports, weapons were illegal on the planet, though their armor exports were considered very high quality.[7]

Bonadan during the Galactic Civil War

In the early years of the Galactic Civil War, the Galactic Empire had set up a supply commerce on Bonadan consisting of several cargo containers being readied for shipment by CT-11 space tugs. Two BFF-1 bulk freighters, Deddite and Banthar, were to pick up the cargo and deliver them to the Imperial fleet. However, two Y-wings arrived and destroyed the containers and the two freighters before the Imperial Nebulon-B escort frigate Enforcer could arrive.[8]

Around the same time, the planet's ambassador had communication with Governor Dol Donar II, and offered him a case of wine with a note, but the latter's premature death prevented its opening.[9]

Despite a claim of neutrality during the Yuuzhan Vong War, representatives of the Corporate Sector Authority were bought off by the alien invaders.[10]

The Bonadan Cough was a contagious virus that originated from Bonadan and caused the sufferer to have a hoarse cough and deep fatigue.[11]
