Nelvaan

Nelvaan was a planet in the Koobi system in the Savareen sector of the Outer Rim Territories and was located at galactic coordinates Q-16. A frigid world, Nelvaan was home to the sentient Nelvaanian people. The Nelvaanians were considered primitive to many, as they lived in tribal villages, one of which was named Rokrul. Each village was led by a chieftain and their bond-mate along with a shaman who served as consultant on most matters. Religion was central in Nelvaanian culture, and the planet itself was referred to as the Great Mother. Therefore, when the Techno Union built a laboratory during the galactic Clone Wars that was powered by a siphon generator, a machine that absorbed geothermal energy, and the planet was plunged into an ice age, the locals became very concerned. The villagers sent all their male warriors to discover the cause of the Mother's plight, but none returned.

In the year 19 BBY, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker arrived on the planet in search of General Grievous of the Separatist Droid Army. After defeating a vicious horax, the two were escorted to the Rokrul shaman Orvos. There, Orvos declared Skywalker to be the prophesied Holt Kazed, or "Ghost Hand," and sent him off to heal the Great Mother. Skywalker followed Orvos' instructions and discovered the Techno Union laboratory and the Nelvaanian males. The Jedi freed the men and destroyed the base, later returning the men to their village.
