Legend

this planet, located in the Lahara Sector of the Outer Rim Territories, was the home of Keyan Farlander. It was the site of an Imperial invasion during the early years of Palpatine's reign as Emperor. Mon Mothma visited there following the Ghorman Massacre, in an effort to help the Agamarians understand Palpatine's evil. Later, it was the site of a hidden Alliance base, early in the Galactic Civil War. The natives of the planet are known to be rough-hewn farmers known for their stubbornness. During the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, Agamar served as a stopping point for refugees fleeing the Outer Rim worlds under attack. This support was given after Leia Organa Solo and Danni Quee pleaded with the planetary leaders for support. As the Yuuzhan Vong stepped up their invasion, Agamar remained a pathway to freedom for those Outer Rim worlds which were attacked. However, when the Yuuzhan Vong learned of the effects of bafforr tree pollen on their vonduun crab armor, they overran Agamar in an effort to extend their control to Ithor.
