Volik

Volik was a temperate planet with rocky terrain that was located within the Unknown Regions' Volik system. The planet's surface was dominated by expansive grasslands and small mountain ranges, as well as numerous canyons and waterfalls. Volik's plant life included the bannak and tanna trees and the mumau root, while the reyko was the most frequently encountered example of the planet's fauna.

Four millennia before the Battle of Yavin, the company Vekanda Leisure Colonies began the construction of a resort colony for wealthy clients on Volik, although the business soon folded, and the planet was abandoned. Shortly after that, pirates and smugglers established many bases of operations on the Unknown Regions world, both in the abandoned resort and in the canyons, and Volik continued to serve as home to various criminal groups over the following centuries.

The freighter Nashuaga eventually crash-landed on Volik with the mask of the Sith Lord Darth Nihilus aboard. Sometime after the death of the Sith Lord Darth Plagueis, several parties, including the Sith cult Apex Society and the smuggler group Sando's Boys, attempted to find the mask of Darth Nihilus, which was ultimately discovered in the remains of the Nashuaga by a third group of individuals.

After the end of the Clone Wars, the Jedi Master Dorin Se'ol organized a community of Force-sensitives on Volik, but Se'ol was eventually located by the Sith Lord Darth Vader, who led an Imperial assault on the planet. During the Yuuzhan Vong War decades later, Volik was home to another group of Force-sensitives who had discovered the teachings of Se'ol.
