Sarka

Sarka was a Mid Rim planet and the homeworld of the Sarkan species.

Sarka was inhabited by a variety of animals, plants, and insects, including Sarkans, the planet's only sentient species.[2] The terrain of Sarka was dominated by humid jungles and marshland. Cave systems, usually located adjacent to underground hot springs, housed most of the planet's population and were rich with Sarkan Nova Rubies, which were highly valued throughout the galaxy.[2] Five major languages were spoken on the planet, including Sarkese. Sarkan ambassadors were among the most powerful political groups in the New Republic[2] and the planet was the site of a Republic supply center which was targeted by Grand Admiral Thrawn's campaign.[4] Sarka was attacked and conquered by the Yuuzhan Vong in 26 or 27 ABY.
