Vaathkree, also known as Vaath'kror, was a volcanic Outer Rim Territories planet located in the Tharin sector's Periphery region. It was the homeworld of the sentient Vaathkree species, members of which had skin covered in a layer of stone or metal and were avid, religious traders. The Vaathkree constructed vnals, sentient, partly organic domed cities, for housing off-world visitors to their homeworld.

Although Vaathkree was historically situated in territory influenced by members of the Hutt species, by 17 BBY the Galactic Empire annexed Vaathkree and its surrounding Hutt Space area, although the Empire mostly ignored the planet. During their invasion of the galaxy, the Yuuzhan Vong conquered the Vaath'kror system.
