Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

Melida/Daan was a planet in the Outer Rim Territories. For centuries, it was engulfed in a civil war between the Melida and the Daan factions which could not even agree on a name for the planet. The Melida called it Melida and the Daan called it Daan, so the Galactic Senate used Melida and Daan separated by a slash. Eventually, a group called the Young, led by various children of the Melida and Daan, rose up and ended the civil war in 44 BBY. Obi-Wan Kenobi temporarily left the Jedi Order to aid the Young in their quest, helping to end the war. Parts of the planet were scarred from the war.

With a fast starship, it took three days to travel from Melida/Daan to the galactic capital of Coruscant.
