Zonama Sekot's first settlers were black-haired humanoid Ferroan colonists and red-skinned Langhesi colonists, and the living world was ruled by Magisters. The Ferroans were believers in the Potentium view of the Force, which denied the existence of both the light and dark sides. The Langhesi and Ferroans settled the planet in 89 BBY.
During the time of the old Galactic Republic, Zonama Sekot was rumored to be home to the fastest ships in the galaxy. Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan, Anakin Skywalker, traveled there to find fellow Jedi Vergere and to purchase one of the planet's living ships. Anakin bonded with a record twelve seed-partners, Obi-Wan bonded with an additional three. While Zonama Sekot was under attack from the Yuuzhan Vong (32 BBY–30 BBY), it was able to defeat them. Later Wilhuff Tarkin, then a Republic commander, declared war on the living world and attacked it in 29 BBY. Zonama Sekot unveiled its hyperdrive system and escaped into the Unknown Regions.
In the following years, stories of the "rogue planet" that had once made living ships circulated among many in the Outer Rim.
Many years later during the Yuuzhan Vong War, Luke Skywalker, Mara Jade Skywalker, Jacen Solo, R2-D2, and several other Jedi traveled to Zonama Sekot, which harbored the long forgotten secrets of the galaxy's invaders. Recognizing a glimmer of Anakin Skywalker in Luke and Jacen, Sekot allowed them to land and tested them. Sekot offered to destroy the Yuuzhan Vong entirely, but both Luke and Jacen refused. Nevertheless, Sekot decided to help them, in another way. Later, Nom Anor, disguised as Yu'shaa, the leader of the underground Jeedai heretics, tried without success to destroy the living world.
Zonama Sekot traveled to Yuuzhan Vong-held Coruscant, which had been renamed Yuuzhan'tar, and forged a peace between the Yuuzhan Vong and the Galactic Alliance. Converted and surrendered Yuuzhan Vong came to call Zonama home, and a number of communities were established. One such village was La'okio, created as an experiment to break down the walls dividing the Yuuzhan Vong castes by grouping the beings into mixed groups.
Reh'mwa, a leader of the Bothan ar'kai against the Yuuzhan Vong, provisioned the Avengeance for searching for Zonama Sekot in the Unknown Regions.
At the start of the Sith-Imperial War, it retreated further into the Unknown Regions, stranding the Yuuzhan Vong who remained in the galaxy as part of the Ossus Project. As of 130 ABY it was located in the Unknown Regions, roughly halfway between Lwhekk and Lehon. It has also demonstrated several times to have remarkable Force powers, though fairly untrained.
Zonama Sekot was unique from other worlds. Its north polar region, a spot of pearl white, was surrounded by an entire hemisphere of tropical jungles. Its southern hemisphere was covered with impenetrable silvery clouds. Along the equator there were several rivers, lakes, and small seas. The edge of the southern hemisphere was also covered by elegant wisps of wind which frequently broke free to form spinning storms.
-----------------------------------------------
Zonama Sekot comes to a rest in the Outer Rim, after coming out of hyperspace. Her new location is far from the Core System. Its inhabitants, including the Grey Jedi Order and the Yuuzhan Vong work to repair the damage sustained during a battle with the Empire.

*he emerges from the shadows near the temple. taking off his wedding ring he looks at whats left of the temple after the attack last night*
Simple fools. I will destroy them all.
*using the force he concentrates all his dark energies he raises his hands above his head as the dark energies start to cloud around him a large ball of darkness surrounded by lightning begins to form over his head. he begins to moan low slowly raising his voice until it is a full blown yell. as he yells the ball increases in size and strength. the ferocity of the lightning increased so much that it begins to scorch the ground around him. as it reaches its full strength he pushes, forcing the huge orb up into the atmosphere. finally after some time it reaches it full height 200m above the surface*
FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOONIIIIIIIIIIIXXXXXXX!!!!!!!!!! YOU HAVE DESTROYED ME!!!!! SO I WILL DESTROY ALL THAT IS PRECIOUS IN THIS GALAXY TO YOU!!!!!!!!!
*he yells and throws his arms down. as he does the orb begins its decent back to the surface of the planet, slowly at first then increasing in speed. as it does the surface begins to tremble, the winds increase to such a point where the trees bend like straws. the temple begins to shake as the giant orb comes closer and closer to it. as the orb comes closer and closer to the surface he begins to laugh madly almost falling over. he realizes that he must teleport to a safe distance and does so, vanishing in a cloud of black smoke. he appears 5km away on a mountain top and watches the orb slam into the temple. as it does he falls down laughing hysterically*
I TOLD YOU FEONIX!!!! THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING!!!!!!!
*as the orb slams into the temple it shakes the very planet to the core sending shock waves across the entire planet and blasting winds over 10km away so hard that any tree in the area is uprooted and thrown around like toothpicks in a sandstorm. once the winds and tremors subside he teleports back to see the damage first hand. as he emerges from the black smoke he sees that there is nothing left but a smoldering crater 1km across and 2km deep. he smiles at this destruction and vanishes into the black smoke once again*

((Come now, Scorp, you've been around the block a time or two, you know you can't just blow the Temple up with people inside and claim nothing left is a crater? It's Godmoding, man. No chance to respond means no chance we're going to admit to it happening. You don't like Feonix cause she dumped you? Fine. Take it up with her or attack us all one-on-one old fashioned style.))

((I suppose your right. I did speak with Feonix and told her vaugly of what I was doing. I didn't go into any detail. And I wasn't thinking right when I typed this, just kinda went with the flow, you guys know how it can go.))

((OOC: Understood. You get into it and don't think about it till after the fact. I've been there. Since this is a new thread we're still playing off of what happened in the Grey Jedi thread. Everyone was basically stuck on Zonama Sekot until today after the battle and her subsequent departure for the Outer Rim. We're out of hyperspace now so if you wish to engage any of us, feel free.))

((Just cause I'm personally a nice guy, who hates it when other people GM, I pull the almighty force edit on the destruction of the temple. Since now I am aware of people being here, I will edit it to the point of the beginning of the creation of the orb))

*Colton turns to Aeron and offers his hand* I'm ready to go if you are. Maybe we can help with repairs. *he remembers something* Then again, I had been planning on teaching you how to teleport. Come to think of it, I should make it a course for Greys who wish to learn. It definitely comes in handy.

Well, come outside and I'll show you. *taking her hand Colton leads Aeron outside of the Temple but before he can do or say anything else he sees Scorpius creating a giant ball of dark energy, the ground crackles with energy as the dark side flows through the Force, releasing Aeron's hand Colton yells to Scorpius across the ferocious noise*
WHAT IN THE NINE CORELLIAN HELLS ARE YOU DOING?
