Onoam
Canon Linked from 20 articles
Onoam was a moon of the Mid Rim planet Naboo, located in the Chommell sector and the Trailing Sectors. Its grassy plains housed second homes for wealthy citizens of Naboo while miners extracted medicinal spice underneath the surface. A secondary royal palace was also maintained there for when the queen of Naboo visited. In 228 BBY, Onoam became part of the Nihil marauders' Occlusion Zone, an area of space sealed behind a barrier preventing hyperspace travel, until it was dissolved not long after.
During Senator Padmé Amidala's lifetime, miners protested for a greater share of the profits from Onoam's mines; under the Galactic Empire, conditions grew even worse. When Princess Leia Organa of the planet Alderaan visited the moon on a mercy mission in 3 BBY, she and Naboo's Queen Dalné attempted to address the Imperial corruption in the mines by petitioning Moff Quarsh Panaka for assistance. However, the moff was assassinated shortly after their visit with him.
